Lightweight enough for layering, yet structured enough to look polished with a shirt or knit underneath.

Fabric & Material Details

The jacket is made from a polyester-based fabric — a widely used man-made fiber produced from polymerized petroleum derivatives (commonly sold as PET). Polyester is available in a range of constructions (woven or knitted) and finishes; for jackets it’s usually woven to give light structure and good dimensional stability. Modern polyester fabrics are often treated for improved hand-feel, reduced static, or water repellency; recycled variants (rPET) are also increasingly common and offer lower environmental footprint than virgin polyester.

Practical properties of polyester fabrics used in outerwear include resistance to shrinking, quick drying, and good color retention. These characteristics make the jacket easy to maintain and reliable for everyday wear.

Fabric Advantages — Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable and abrasion-resistant — holds up well to repeated wear and travel.
• Wrinkle-resistant — stays neat after packing or sitting for long periods.
• Quick-drying and low-shrink — convenient for machine washing and trips.
• Colorfast — keeps deep olive and charcoal tones vivid over time.
• Light to midweight structure — easy to layer without bulk.

Cons

• Less breathable than many natural fibers — may feel warm in higher-activity situations or hot weather unless layered with breathable undergarments.
• Can develop static or mild pilling over extended use if not cared for properly.
• Not biodegradable — environmental considerations unless the fabric is a recycled polyester option.
• High heat can damage fibers — avoid aggressive drying or ironing temperatures.

How to Measure — Body and Garment

Measure your body (before choosing size)

1. Chest/Bust: Wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms and across your shoulder blades. Keep the tape level and relaxed.
2. Shoulders: Measure from the edge of one shoulder (where a seam would sit) straight across the back to the other shoulder edge.
3. Arm/Sleeve Length: With your arm relaxed at your side, measure from the shoulder seam point down to the wrist bone.
4. Torso/Front Length: Measure from the top of the shoulder (near the base of the neck) straight down to where you want the jacket to finish.
5. Allow for movement: add 1–3 inches (2.5–7.5 cm) to chest measurement for a close, comfortable fit; add more if you plan to layer thick sweaters underneath.

Measure the jacket (flat) — useful for comparing to your measurements

1. Lay the jacket flat and smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
2. Chest/Width: Measure just below the armholes from seam to seam, then double that number for full circumference.
3. Shoulder Width: Measure from one shoulder seam to the other across the back.
4. Front Length: Measure from the shoulder seam at the neckline down to the hem at the front.
5. Sleeve Length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.

Choosing the right fit

Compare your body measurements (plus desired ease) to the jacket measurements laid flat. For layering thicker items, choose a size with at least 2–3 inches of extra chest room; for a neater silhouette, aim for 1–1.5 inches of ease. If you fall between sizes, consider your shoulder measurement — shoulders are the hardest part to alter.

Model Information (reference)

Example reference used for styling and fit in imagery: model height approximately 5'9" (175 cm) wearing a medium for a relaxed, layered look. Use this as a guideline — individual fit depends on body shape and desired layering room. If you prefer a tailored look, size down or choose the size that closely matches your shoulder and chest measurements.

Color Notes & Outfit Pairing

Olive Green

Olive is a neutral with warm, earthy undertones. It pairs beautifully with denim, cream or beige knits, tan leather boots, and warm accents like rust or mustard. For a casual look, layer over a white tee and mid-blue jeans. For a refined outfit, pair with navy chinos and a cream merino sweater.

Charcoal Gray

Charcoal is a versatile cool neutral that reads slightly dressier. It pairs exceptionally well with monochrome looks (black, white, gray), deep jewel tones (burgundy or emerald), and casual neutrals (olive or tan). Wear it over a button-down and chinos for office-casual polish, or over a hoodie and sneakers for a modern street-ready vibe.

Style & Occasions

This jacket sits at the intersection of utility and polish: structured enough for smart-casual settings yet relaxed for everyday wear. Ideal for:

• Commuting and office-casual days
• Weekend errands and casual meetups
• Travel — packable, low-wrinkle and quick-drying
• Layering during transitional seasons

Season Suitability

Best for spring and fall and for mild winter climates when layered. Use as a midweight top layer over sweaters or under a heavier coat in colder weather. In warm summer weather avoid wearing it in prolonged heat unless in an air-conditioned environment.

Fit Notes & Care Tips (quick)

• Fit: Generally true to size with a slightly relaxed silhouette to allow for layering. If you frequently wear thick knits, consider sizing up.
• Shoulders: If your shoulder measurement is near the upper limit of a size, size up — shoulder alterations are more difficult than hem adjustments.
• Pockets: Designed to be functional — good for essentials like phone, wallet, or keys, but avoid over-stuffing to maintain shape.
• Care: Wash in cool water, use a gentle cycle or delicate bag, and tumble dry low or hang to dry. Avoid high heat and aggressive agitation to preserve fabric finish and shape.

Care Guide — Keep it looking great longer

1. Routine care: Wash on a gentle cycle with like colors and cold water. A gentle detergent preserves color and finishes.
2. Drying: Tumble on low or air dry. Remove promptly from dryer to avoid deep creases.
3. Wrinkle removal: Use a steamer for best results. If ironing is necessary, use low heat and a pressing cloth to prevent shine or fiber damage.
4. Pilling & lint: Remove pills gently with a fabric shaver; use a lint roller for surface debris. Avoid aggressive friction with rough surfaces.
5. Storage: Hang on a shaped or wide hanger to preserve shoulder shape. Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading.
6. Spot care: Treat stains quickly with mild soap and cold water. For tough stains, professional cleaning is recommended.

Style Tips — Ways to wear it

• Weekend casual: Jacket + white tee + medium-wash jeans + leather sneakers.
• Smart casual: Jacket + button-down shirt + chinos + derby shoes.
• Layered warmth: Thin merino or cashmere sweater underneath + scarf + boots.
• Travel: Roll or fold carefully into a carry-on — polyester resists deep creasing; pair with joggers and slip-on shoes for security-friendly airport wear.
• Monochrome edge: Try charcoal jacket over an all-black outfit for a sleek, urban look; add a contrasting accessory in leather or metallics for polish.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the fabric like — breathable and comfortable?

The polyester construction provides lightweight structure and durability. It’s less breathable than cotton or linen, so it’s best for moderate activity and cooler conditions or layered over breathable base layers.

Will this jacket shrink in the wash?

Polyester is inherently low-shrink when laundered properly. Use cold water and low-heat drying (or air dry) to avoid any change in size or shape.

Can I iron it?

Yes — but use low heat and a pressing cloth, or better yet, use a handheld steamer to remove wrinkles without risking fiber damage.

Are the pockets functional?

Yes — pockets are designed to be usable for everyday items. Avoid overloading to maintain silhouette and prevent strain on seams.

How should I choose between sleeve length options?

Choose based on arm length and intended use. If you often wear long-sleeve layers underneath, opt for the longer sleeve option; for a cropped or modern look pick the shorter sleeve option. Refer to the measuring instructions to compare sleeve length to your arm measurement.

Is there a recommended way to store the jacket off-season?

Store on a hanger in a cool, dry place. Use breathable garment bags for long-term storage and avoid plastic bags which can trap moisture.
