Collared Button Down Coat | Camel / S 100100059940010

Product overview

A clean, button-front collared coat designed to be a versatile layering piece — sharp enough for office settings, relaxed enough for weekend wear. The silhouette is intentionally simple so it pairs easily with knits, dresses, or denim; the construction keeps the coat lightweight and easy to move in while still providing a tidy outer layer. Built for everyday use, it balances low-maintenance care with a polished finish.

Fabric advantages — pros & cons

Pros

• Durable: resists abrasion and keeps shape well after repeated wear.
• Low-wrinkle: stays neat with minimal ironing or steaming needed.
• Quick-drying and colorfast: dries faster than many natural fibers and keeps dyes bright longer.
• Lightweight warmth: provides mild insulation without bulk — ideal for layering.
• Easy home care: tolerates machine washing and simple drying routines when cared for correctly.

Cons

• Limited breathability compared with natural fibers — can feel less airy in warm conditions.
• Static and pilling: may hold static or develop pills over time with friction.
• Not naturally biodegradable — environmental impact and microplastic shedding are considerations.
• Heat sensitivity: high heat can distort or melt fibers, so ironing requires care.

About the material

The coat is made from a synthetic polyester family fabric. Polyester is a polymer typically derived from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It is widely used in outerwear because it is strong, resists stretching and shrinking, and takes dye well. Modern polyesters range from coarser weaves to very fine microfibers; finishes can add water repellency, softer hand, or extra durability.

Practical notes:

• Water behavior: untreated polyester resists light moisture but is not waterproof — it will shed light drizzle but won’t keep you dry in heavy rain unless a specialized coating is applied.
• Eco and recycling: recycled polyester (rPET) is common and reduces waste compared with virgin polyester, but polyester remains a synthetic with microplastic concerns during washing.
• Comfort: polyester can trap heat more than cotton or linen; layering choices and ventilation can help regulate comfort.

How to measure the product (what the key measurements mean)

When a coat lists measurements, they typically refer to these reference points. Use these instructions to compare the garment to your body or to a jacket you own.

• Bust / Chest: Measure around the fullest part of the chest with the tape parallel to the floor. For a garment measured flat, it’s the measurement across the front under the armholes doubled.
• Sleeve length: Two common methods — from center back (neck point) to end of cuff, or from the shoulder seam to cuff. Check which method the size guide uses; measure a coat you like the fit of the same way.
• Top / Back length: From the base of the collar or center back neck down to the hem. This shows how the coat will fall on the body.
• Shoulder width: Measure across the back from one shoulder seam to the other (for garments) or across the top of your shoulders on the body.
• Hem width: When measured flat, multiply by two to know the full circumference at the bottom edge.

How to measure correctly to choose the right size (step-by-step)

1. Wear a similar-weight layer to what you plan to wear under the coat (e.g., a t-shirt or a light sweater) and stand relaxed.
2. Use a soft measuring tape. For bust, wrap the tape around the fullest part keeping it level and not tight.
3. For sleeve length, slightly bend your elbow and have someone measure from the base of the neck (or shoulder seam) to the wrist to mimic movement.
4. Decide how much ease you want: 1–2 inches for a close fit, 3–4 inches for light layering, 5+ inches for bulky sweaters or oversized styling.
5. Compare your body measurements plus chosen ease to the garment measurements (remember garment widths listed flat should be doubled). If between sizes, choose based on intended layering: size up for bulky layers, down for a neater fit.
6. If you have a favorite coat, measure it flat (chest across underarm, sleeve seam to cuff, length back neck to hem) and match those numbers to the new garment's specs.

Fit notes & styling of fit

The design is intentionally streamlined with a straight, easy silhouette. It is cut to allow layering without feeling bulky. If you prefer a tailored, close-to-body appearance, order the smaller size that still allows comfortable arm movement. If you plan to wear thick sweaters or want a relaxed look, choose the larger size. Sleeves are standard length but check sleeve measurement against your arm length if you have particularly long or short arms.

About the model / visual reference guidance

If a retailer photograph includes a model, use the visual as a reference for proportion rather than an absolute size guide. Model heights and the size they wear vary by photo shoot; if that info is not shown, rely on measurements. The coat’s clean lines mean it will read slightly different across body shapes:

• Hourglass: the straight-cut silhouette looks best with a belted waist to emphasize shape.
• Rectangle: add layering or a scarf to create depth and visual interest.
• Apple or pear: the long, straight lines help create balanced proportions — consider a mid-sized belt if you want more definition.

Color and how to combine the coat

Classic outerwear colors — neutrals like black, navy, camel, beige, olive or gray — extend outfit versatility. Match the coat to your wardrobe using these simple combos:

• Black: monochrome looks, bright accents, or graphic tees; works with denim or tailored trousers and leather accessories.
• Navy: pairs beautifully with whites, tans, soft pastels, and chinos; great for a polished-casual office outfit.
• Camel / Tan: warm neutrals complement denim, olive, cream knits, and brown leather boots or loafers.
• Olive / Earth tones: pair with rust, mustard, and denim for a seasonal layered look.
• Brighter hues: keep the rest of the outfit neutral to let the coat be the focal point, or intentionally mix with complementary colors for a bolder statement.

Accessories: add a lightweight scarf, a structured crossbody for day, or a leather tote for work. Belts can transform the coat into a more fitted piece when desired.

Style & occasions

This coat works as a smart-casual staple: business casual meetings, commute days, weekend brunch, or travel. Its simple tailoring allows it to transition from day to evening with a change of footwear and accessories.

Seasonal suitability

Ideal for transitional seasons — spring and fall — when temperatures fluctuate. Layer over sweaters into milder winter climates, or wear over tees as the weather warms. It’s not intended as a heavy winter parka or as sole protection in prolonged heavy rain.

Care tips & fit reminders

• Wash on a gentle, cool setting to preserve fibers and color; use a mild detergent and avoid chlorine bleach.
• Tumble dry on a low or delicate setting or air dry to minimize heat exposure; remove promptly to reduce wrinkles.
• Prevent static by using anti-static dryer sheets, a citric rinse, or a spray; steam lightly to relax creases.
• To reduce pilling, launder with similar fabric types and avoid heavy abrasion from backpacks or rough surfaces.
• When deciding size, consider sleeve and shoulder fit first — these areas are hardest to alter.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

1. Pre-treat stains quickly with a gentle detergent or stain remover suitable for synthetics; blot rather than rub.
2. Turn the coat inside out and close buttons before washing to protect the outer surface.
3. Use cold water and a short, gentle cycle to reduce wear. Consider a mesh laundry bag for extra protection.
4. Avoid high dryer heat — tumble briefly on low or hang to dry. Reshape while damp for best drape.
5. If wrinkled, use a handheld steamer or place a pressing cloth between iron and fabric and use the lowest safe heat setting.
6. Store on a broad hanger to maintain shoulder shape; keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
7. For long-term storage, use a breathable garment bag rather than plastic to avoid trapped moisture.
8. Address pilling with a fabric shaver and keep moving parts (buttons) inspected and tightened as needed.

Style tips — outfit ideas

• Office: Tailored trousers, silk or cotton blouse, loafers or low heels, minimal jewelry.
• Weekend casual: Slim jeans, a soft tee or light knit, sneakers or ankle boots, crossbody bag.
• Layered travel: Lightweight sweater, stretch pants, slip-on shoes — the coat is packable and easy to put on between flights.
• Evening out: Slipdress or slim black jeans, heeled booties, a statement earring to elevate the look.
• Seasonal accents: Swap scarves and hats seasonally — chunky knits in fall, light patterned scarves in spring.

FAQ

Is this coat true to size?

Fit is intended to be an easy, straight silhouette. Use your chest/bust measurement plus the amount of ease you prefer to choose size. If you like to layer bulky sweaters, select the larger size.

Can it be machine washed?

Yes — the fabric tolerates home laundering when handled gently. Use cool water and avoid high dryer heat; follow the care guide for best results.

Is it water-resistant?

It will shed light moisture, but it is not a waterproof garment. For sustained wet weather, a coated or fully waterproof outer layer is recommended.

Will it keep me warm in winter?

It’s a lightweight to medium-weight outer layer best for mild cold or for layering. In colder climates, pair with insulated layers or a heavier coat.

Does the fabric pill or hold static?

Pilling can happen over time in high-friction areas; static can occur in dry conditions. Use anti-static products and a fabric shaver if pilling appears.

Can it be altered?

Minor adjustments like sleeve shortening or taking in side seams are usually possible; major style changes (shoulder reshape) are more involved — consult a professional tailor.

Is this eco-friendly?

Synthetic fibers have a lower biodegradability profile than natural fibers. Some polyester items are made from recycled sources; check product labeling if recycled content is a priority.

How should I store it between seasons?

Hang on a wide, supportive hanger in a cool, dry place; use a breathable garment bag for long-term storage and avoid plastic covers that trap moisture.

Final notes & buying guidance
