Buttoned Denim Jacket | Dark / S 100100138077592

Product overview

The Buttoned Denim Jacket is a versatile wardrobe staple that blends structure and softness for everyday wear. Designed to be layered, it transitions easily from casual weekend looks to polished smart-casual outfits. The button-front silhouette and tailored lines make it flattering whether worn open over a tee or buttoned for a more defined shape.

Why this jacket works: it combines the reliable, lived‑in character of denim with a softer hand and clean finishes so you get both durability and comfort—ideal for building a lasting capsule piece.

Fabric advantages — pros and cons

• Pros
  • Comfort and breathability from natural fibers—feel stays comfortable across seasons.
  • Soft drape and next‑to‑skin comfort thanks to the regenerated cellulosic component.
  • Improved shape retention and durability from synthetic fibers—less sagging and fewer wrinkles over time.
  • Low‑maintenance in everyday use: holds up to repeated wear and takes well to casual care routines.
• Cons
  • Limited mechanical stretch—fit depends on cut and measurements rather than elasticity.
  • Potential for slight shrinkage or change in hand if exposed to high heat during washing or drying.
  • The synthetic fraction can retain some static and contribute microfibers when washed frequently; consider gentle washing habits.
  • Viscose-like fibers can be more delicate when wet; avoid aggressive wringing or hot water to preserve drape.

Materials explained

Cotton: a natural fiber known for breathability, comfort and toughness. Cotton gives denim its classic structure and will soften and break in with wear, developing an attractive, lived‑in look over time. It can absorb moisture and, if exposed to heat repeatedly, may reduce slightly in size.

Viscose (regenerated cellulose): adds fluidity and a smoother surface. It increases softness and gives the jacket a lighter drape compared with 100% rigid denim. Viscose can be more prone to wrinkling and may require gentler handling when wet.

Polyester: a synthetic fiber that increases strength and dimensional stability. It helps the jacket keep shape, resist creases and extend the useful life of the garment. Be mindful that synthetic fibers are less breathable than natural ones and release tiny fibers into water—use a gentle wash cycle and consider a filtration bag where available.

Denim construction: the twill weave typical of denim creates the diagonal texture and long-term character (fading, whiskering) that make a jacket uniquely yours as it ages.

How to measure the garment (easy step‑by‑step)

To compare with your own jackets, measure this way for accurate fit checks:

• Lay flat: Place the jacket on a flat, smooth surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching.
• Chest / Bust (garment): Measure straight across the front, 1" (2.5 cm) below the armholes; double that number for full circumference.
• Shoulder width: Measure from the outside edge of one shoulder seam straight across the back to the other shoulder seam.
• Sleeve length: From the outer shoulder seam to the sleeve hem (follow the seam line for a consistent result).
• Body length: From the base of the collar (where the neck meets the jacket) down to the hem.
• Waist (garment): Measure across the narrowest point of the jacket front and double for circumference.

Tip: repeat each measurement twice to avoid small errors. Convert inches to centimeters using 1 in = 2.54 cm when needed.

How to measure yourself for the best size

• Wear what you’ll layer under it: If you plan to wear bulky sweaters, measure while wearing a similar layer.
• Bust / chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest with the tape parallel to the floor. Breathe normally.
• Shoulder point: Measure across the back from one shoulder point to the other; if difficult, measure a jacket that fits well as a proxy.
• Sleeve: With arm relaxed at your side, measure from the shoulder joint (where a well‑fitting shirt seam would sit) down to the wrist bone.
• Desired length: From the highest point of your shoulder (near the neck) down to where you want the jacket hem to fall.
• Compare and choose: Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements. Because this style has limited stretch, prioritize chest and shoulder measurements—if between sizes, size up for layering comfort.

Fit notes

• If you prefer a fitted look, choose the size that gives about 1–2 inches of ease across the chest.
• For layering (sweater or hoodie underneath), allow 3–4 inches of ease to maintain mobility without pulling at buttons.
• Shoulder fit matters most: if shoulder seams feel tight, go up a size even if the chest looks roomy.
• Sleeves can be rolled or cuffed for a relaxed look; cuffing adds visual variety and shortens perceived sleeve length.

Season suitability

This jacket is a classic transitional piece. Best for spring and autumn where it provides light to medium warmth; it also works well on cooler summer evenings. In winter it can serve as a layer under a heavier coat but is not intended as a primary cold‑weather outerwear for very low temperatures.

Color and how to combine the jacket

Denim pairs effortlessly with neutrals and color—think crisp whites, warm tans, soft grays and deep blacks for a modern base. For a fresh daytime outfit, layer the jacket over a white tee and tapered trousers or a floral midi dress. For a smart‑casual look, button it up over a silk blouse and pair with tailored pants or a pencil skirt.

A denim-on-denim look can work when you mix washes: pair the jacket with darker or lighter bottoms to create contrast. Accessorize with belts, leather boots or clean sneakers and minimal jewelry for a chic finish.

Style details and versatility

The buttoned silhouette and clean lines allow this jacket to behave like an overshirt or a light outer layer. Use it as:

• An everyday topper for jeans and tees.
• A smart‑casual blazer alternative when worn over blouses.
• A layering piece at the base of more complex outfits—scarf, blazer, coat.
• An accent piece to introduce texture and shape into soft or flowing outfits.

Care tips

• Wash only when needed—spot clean small marks to preserve color and structure.
• Turn inside out before washing to protect surface dye and hardware.
• Use cool water and a gentle cycle or a delicate hand wash to reduce agitation.
• Avoid high heat drying; reshape while damp and hang to dry to keep fit and avoid shrinkage.
• When ironing, use a medium setting and iron inside out or steam to smooth creases without flattening texture.

Care guide — to keep it looking great longer

1. Spot treat stains immediately with a mild detergent and cool water. Blot—don’t rub—so the dye doesn’t migrate.
2. When laundering, wash inside out with like colors to prevent dye transfer. Use a gentle detergent formulated for colored fabrics.
3. Use a laundry bag or wash with similar items to limit abrasion that causes pilling or surface wear.
4. Air dry on a hanger or flat to maintain silhouette. If you must tumble dry, choose the lowest heat and remove promptly.
5. Store on a shaped hanger to avoid shoulder dimples; keep away from direct sunlight to minimize fading.
6. Repair loose buttons or small seam issues quickly to prevent larger damage—reinforce with thread before laundering again.

Style tips — outfit ideas

• Weekend casual: Layer over a striped tee, cuff the sleeves, add white sneakers and a canvas tote.
• Office casual: Wear over a lightweight knit or blouse with tailored chinos and loafers for a polished, relaxed look.
• Night out: Button the jacket and add a slim leather belt at the waist, pair with a slip skirt and ankle boots.
• Layering trick: Use the jacket under a longer coat for warmth and visual interest—letting the jacket hem peek out adds dimension.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

• Q: How should the jacket fit across the shoulders?

  A: The shoulder seams should sit at or just slightly beyond your natural shoulder point. If the seam falls well inside the shoulder, the jacket is too small; if it droops down the arm, it’s too large.

• Q: Does the fabric stretch with wear?

  A: Because the fabric blend does not include elastic fibers, it will have minimal stretch. Expect some natural softening with repeated wear, but plan sizing around measurements rather than stretch.

• Q: Will the color fade?

  A: Denim will develop patina and some fading over time—this is normal and often desirable. To slow fading, wash infrequently, inside out, in cool water and hang to dry out of direct sun.

• Q: How do I handle stubborn stains?

  A: Treat oil or grease with a small amount of dish soap applied gently, rinse, then launder. For dye or set‑in stains, consult a professional cleaner to avoid color loss.

• Q: I’m between sizes—what should I choose?

  A: Because of limited stretch, size up if you plan to layer bulky knitwear. If you want a more tailored look and you typically prefer fitted jackets, choose the smaller size if your measurements are very close.
