Vestes en Flanelle à Carreaux et en Laine à Manches Longues | Camel / S 100100525101639

Overview

A timeless plaid jacket designed as a versatile layering piece: clean lines, long sleeves and a mid‑length silhouette make it ideal for daily wear, commuting and weekend styling. The surface is brushed to give a soft, wool‑like hand and visible plaid texture while keeping the garment light enough for layering over tees, shirts or thin knits. This is the kind of staple that upgrades basic outfits with instant visual interest and practical warmth.

Fabric & Materials — what to expect

The jacket uses modern synthetic fibers engineered to reproduce the look and soft nap of traditional flannel and wool. Flannel describes the brushed, softly napped surface and the classic plaid weaving, while the synthetic construction gives the piece improved dimensional stability and easy care compared to raw wool. Polyester fibers are strong, colorfast and quick‑drying; manufacturers often treat or finish the fabric to enhance softness and warmth.

Quick points about the components you’re experiencing:

• Brushed surface (flannel effect) creates a soft touch and subtle insulation.
• Synthetic fibers give consistent color, resistance to shrinking and easy machine care.
• The plaid motif adds visual depth and pairs easily with both casual and smart‑casual looks.

Fabric Advantages — Pros and Cons

How to measure — get the right fit

Use these simple steps to measure your body and an existing jacket so you can confidently choose the best size.

Measuring your body

• Bust / Chest: Wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level and snug but not tight.
• Shoulder width: Measure from the tip of one shoulder (where the sleeve seam sits) across the back to the other tip.
• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso (natural waist).
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips with feet together.
• Sleeve length: With your arm relaxed at your side slightly bent, measure from the shoulder seam to the wrist bone.
• Front length: From the top of the shoulder near the base of the neck down to where you want the hem to sit.

Measuring an existing jacket (recommended)

• Lay the jacket flat on a table and smooth out wrinkles.
• Chest: Measure straight across from armpit seam to armpit seam, then double that number.
• Shoulder: Measure across the back from seam to seam at the shoulder line.
• Sleeve: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
• Front length: Measure from the high shoulder point (near the collar) to the hem.
• Convert units if needed — multiply inches by 2.54 to get centimeters.

How to choose your size

• If you prefer a slim fit with little layering: choose your measured size or size down if you are between sizes (check shoulder measurement first).
• For comfortable layering with a sweater: allow 1–3 inches (2.5–7.5 cm) of extra chest ease over your body measurement.
• For a relaxed, shacket/overshirt look: allow 3–5 inches (7.5–12.5 cm) of extra chest ease.
• Always compare your body or a favourite jacket’s flat measurements with the product’s sizing chart rather than relying only on a numerical size label.

Model information (example reference)

To help you visualise the fit: a typical product image shows a model approximately 5'8"–5'10" (about 173–178 cm) wearing a medium for a slightly relaxed look. Use the model reference and proportions as a guide — check the item measurements on the page and match those against your own flat measurements for the most accurate fit.

Color & combining suggestions

Plaid pieces act like visual anchors in an outfit. Keep these pairing tips in mind:

• Let the plaid lead — pick one color from the pattern and echo it in a tee, knit or accessory for a cohesive look.
• Casual day: pair with a white or charcoal tee, slim jeans and sneakers or desert boots.
• Smart‑casual: layer over a fine knit or shirt, add tailored chinos and loafers or ankle boots.
• Mixing patterns: pair with small‑scale stripes or solid blocks only; avoid clashing large prints.
• Accessories: leather belts, wool scarves and suede or leather boots pair particularly well with plaid textures.

Style & occasions

This jacket transitions easily between weekend and workplace casual. Wear it as:

• An overshirt on mild days over a tee or shirt.
• A lightweight outer layer in cooler fall/spring weather over a sweater.
• A smart‑casual topper for meetings, coffee dates or city outings when paired with tailored trousers.

Season suitability

Best for transitional seasons — fall and spring — and for layering through winter. The medium weight provides warmth without overheating; in colder climates add an insulating mid‑layer or switch to a heavy coat when temperatures drop substantially.

Care tips & fit notes

• General: treat the jacket as a low‑maintenance outer layer — machine wash on a gentle, cold cycle or use professional cleaning for best long‑term preservation.
• Turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the nap and color.
• Close buttons or zippers to reduce abrasion during wash.
• Reshape and hang to dry; avoid high heat to preserve fit and surface texture.
• If pilling appears, remove gently with a fabric shaver or depiller to restore a clean appearance.
• Assess shoulder measurements first if you want a fitted appearance; shoulders define how tailored the jacket will look.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Spot treat spills immediately with a mild detergent and cold water—dab, don’t rub.
2. Wash cold on gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mesh laundry bag for extra protection.
3. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners; they can damage finishes and reduce fabric performance.
4. Hang dry on a shaped hanger; smooth the nap with a soft brush while slightly damp to revive texture.
5. Use a low‑heat iron or a steamer to remove wrinkles. If ironing, press on the reverse side or use a cloth between iron and fabric.
6. Store in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to keep the shoulder line intact. Use cedar or breathable storage to deter insects and odors.
7. When in doubt, professional dry cleaning will maintain structure and finish for the longest life.

FAQ

Is this garment real wool?

Despite “wool” appearing in the product name to describe the look and finish, the fabric is a synthetic, wool‑like material produced for easy care and consistent appearance. It recreates many visual and tactile qualities of wool without some of the natural fiber limitations.

How warm is it — will it work in winter?

It provides moderate insulation ideal for cooler days in fall and spring. In very cold weather you’ll want to layer with a wool sweater or a down coat for adequate warmth.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes — use a gentle, cold cycle and turn the jacket inside out. Professional dry cleaning is also a good option if you prefer minimal home laundering.

Will the colours fade?

Polyester‑based fabrics generally retain color well. To preserve vibrancy, wash inside out, in cold water, and avoid prolonged drying in direct sunlight.

Does it shrink?

Synthetic fabrics shrink less than natural fibers, but exposure to high dryer heat or hot water can alter shape. Air dry or tumble on low if necessary.

How do I remove pills?

Use a fabric shaver or depilling comb for safe removal. Light brushing with a soft clothes brush will also freshen the nap.

What should I do if I’m between sizes?

If you prefer a fitted look, choose the smaller size (checking shoulder width first). For comfortable layering, choose the larger size to ensure freedom of movement.
