Collared Neck Denim Jacket with Pockets | Light / S 100100888927118

Overview

A longline, denim-styled jacket reimagined for a softer, more wearable everyday look. It keeps the attitude of classic denim—structured collar, practical front pockets and a clean, solid finish—while using a lighter, drapier fabric that sits and moves differently than traditional cotton denim. The result is an easy, street-chic silhouette that layers well over tees, dresses or lightweight knits and transitions effortlessly from day to night.

Fabric & Materials — What you should know

This piece is crafted from a rayon-dominant blend with a small proportion of synthetic fiber. Rayon is a regenerated cellulosic fiber (often sold as viscose or modal) known for a silk-like hand, excellent drape and comfortable breathability. The added synthetic fiber increases durability, reduces wrinkling and helps the jacket keep its shape through wear and washes.

Important takeaways: the fabric looks like denim but feels lighter and softer. It’s not the heavy, abrasion-resistant cotton twill of classic jean jackets; instead it leans toward a comfortable, garment-friendly finish that’s ideal when you want the denim aesthetic without the weight.

Material background

• Rayon family: made from wood-pulp cellulose. Soft, breathable, excellent dye uptake—gives a rich color and smooth hand. Different types (viscose, modal, lyocell) vary in feel and environmental footprints.
• Synthetic fiber (polyester-type): adds resilience, reduces wrinkling and shrinkage, and helps the garment hold its shape over time. It can slightly reduce breathability and, like most synthetics, may release microfibers in the wash.
• Look vs. substance: visually denim-inspired but functionally lighter; treat accordingly for care and styling.

Fabric Advantages — Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, comfortable hand that feels nicer next-to-skin than rigid denim.
• Excellent drape—creates a relaxed longline silhouette without bulk.
• Good color depth and fade resistance compared to some natural fibers.
• More forgiving in fit; easier to layer without feeling stiff.
• Lower wrinkle profile thanks to the synthetic fiber—less ironing needed.

Cons

• Less abrasion- and wear-resistant than heavy cotton denim—expect more delicate wear in high-friction areas over time.
• Can be more prone to pilling or surface wear than rigid denim, depending on use.
• Synthetic content can reduce breathability slightly and contributes to microfiber shedding during machine washes.
• Care-sensitive to heat—excessive dryer temperature or hot ironing can affect shape and finish.

Fit Notes & How the Jacket Wears

The design reads longline and is cut for a relaxed, street-forward profile. Shorter sleeve length gives a modern, casual look—ideal when you want to show layers beneath or create contrast with long-sleeve tops. Shoulder and chest construction aim for a straightforward, boxy-styled fit; if you prefer a roomy, layered look choose a size that gives extra chest/shoulder ease.

If you wear thicker sweaters often, allow extra room: the longline cut is forgiving vertically but less so at the shoulders. For a sleeker silhouette, select the size closest to your true measurements.

How to Measure Yourself (step-by-step)

1. Wear a thin top and stand relaxed with arms at your sides.
2. Bust/Chest: Wrap a soft tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Breathe normally and don't pull the tape tight.
3. Shoulder width: Measure from the tip of one shoulder across the back to the tip of the other shoulder.
4. Upper arm: Measure around the fullest part of your upper arm if you plan to layer bulky sleeves under the jacket.
5. Torso length: From the high point of the shoulder (near base of the neck) down to where you want the hem to fall.

How to Measure a Garment (flat-lay method)

1. Lay the jacket on a flat surface, smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
2. Chest (flat): Measure across the chest from underarm seam to underarm seam; double that number for full circumference.
3. Shoulder: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
4. Length: Measure from the center back of the collar (or high shoulder point) straight down to the hem.
5. Sleeve: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve (or for a short-sleeve, to the sleeve hem).

Tip: compare your body measurements (plus desired ease) to the garment measurements to choose the correct size. When in doubt, select the size that offers the shoulder width that matches your natural shoulders—the shoulder seam determines how the jacket hangs.

Choosing Size — Ease Guidelines

• For a fitted, streamlined look: add about 0–1 inch of ease at the bust/chest.
• For classic, relaxed wear with a tee or thin knit underneath: aim for 2–3 inches of ease.
• For layering over chunky sweaters: reserve 4+ inches of ease to keep movement comfortable at the shoulders and chest.

Color & Styling — How to Combine the Jacket

The denim-inspired finish pairs well with neutral basics and bold contrasts alike. Here are versatile combinations:

• Casual day: white tee, high-rise jeans (choose a different wash to avoid a 'matching' look), and white sneakers.
• Street-chic: graphic tee, midi skirt, chunky boots, and layered necklaces.
• Smart casual: button-down shirt, tapered trousers, loafers or ankle boots—keep accessories minimal.
• Summer evenings: lightweight slip dress or tank + shorts; the shorter sleeves make it ideal for warmer nights.

For accessories, try a slim belt to cinch the waist for a feminine shape, or leave it open for a relaxed, flowy profile. Colors that play particularly well are crisp white, muted earth tones, black, and soft pastels—each creates a distinct mood.

Seasonal Use

Best for spring through early fall and summer evenings when you want a lightweight outer layer. It also works as a transitional piece layered over thin knits during mild autumn days. Because the fabric is lighter than classic denim, it's not intended as a primary cold-weather coat without substantial layering.

Care Tips & Quick Fit Notes

• Avoid high-heat drying and hot irons—heat can alter the finish and shape.
• Turn the jacket inside out before washing to reduce surface abrasion and preserve color.
• If your shoulders feel snug, focus first on the shoulder measurement rather than overall length when deciding on size.
• Keep pockets clean and empty to maintain a neat silhouette; overloading pockets can stretch the front panels.

Care Guide — Keep it looking newer, longer

1. Spot-treat stains promptly with a gentle detergent or stain remover; blot, don’t rub aggressively.
2. Wash inside out to protect color and surface; use cool or lukewarm water and a gentle cycle.
3. Use a mild liquid detergent—avoid bleach and strong enzymatic stain removers that can damage finishes.
4. To reduce synthetic fiber shedding, wash with similar fabrics and consider a laundry bag for extra protection.
5. Air-dry flat or hang to dry away from direct sun; if you must tumble dry, use the lowest heat setting and remove promptly.
6. Iron on a low setting if needed, pressing inside out or using a pressing cloth to avoid shine.
7. Store on a wide, supportive hanger to avoid shoulder dents, or fold neatly if shelving—avoid overcrowding.

Style Tips — Outfit ideas

• Double denim done right: pair with a contrasting wash on bottom and a neutral tee—balance the look with clean sneakers.
• Office-polished: layer over a thin turtleneck and straight-leg trousers; finish with loafers and a structured bag.
• Weekend-ready: throw it over a hoodie for contrast between tailored collar and sporty comfort; add joggers and high-top sneakers.
• Dress it up: layer over a slip dress, add heeled booties and a statement necklace for evening appeal.

FAQ

Is this true denim?

It has a denim look but is made from a softer, rayon-rich blend rather than rigid cotton twill—expect a lighter hand and more drape.

Will it stretch out with wear?

The fabric is not designed to be stretchy. Over time, it will relax slightly with wear, but it won’t provide mechanical stretch like knit or spandex blends.

Are the pockets functional?

Yes—front pockets are designed for everyday use (phone, cards, small essentials). Avoid overfilling to maintain the silhouette.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes—treated like a delicate garment: cool water, gentle cycle, and air-dry when possible. See the care guide above for best practices to prolong life and color.

How should I size if I want to layer sweaters?

Choose a size that provides additional chest and shoulder ease—refer to the measuring guidance and add several inches of ease for bulky underlayers.

Will the color transfer?

Dark or saturated finishes can have some initial dye transfer risk. Wash with similar colors for the first few washes and take extra care with light-colored items.
