Drawstring Zip Up Hooded Jacket | Royal Blue / S 100100635821407

Material Deep Dive

• Cotton (57%): As the primary component, cotton lends its signature softness and breathability to the jacket. This natural fiber is gentle on the skin, allowing air to circulate and preventing overheating, ensuring all-day comfort.
• Polyester (43%): Polyester is a powerhouse of performance. It adds exceptional durability, wrinkle resistance, and color retention to the fabric. It also has moisture-wicking properties, helping to draw sweat away from the body, and ensures the jacket holds its shape wash after wash.

Fabric Advantages: Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Enhanced Durability: The polyester fibers strengthen the fabric, making it resistant to tearing and stretching, so it can handle daily wear and tear.
• Breathable Comfort: The high cotton content ensures the jacket feels soft and allows your skin to breathe.
• Wrinkle & Shrink Resistant: Say goodbye to constant ironing! This blend is less prone to wrinkling than 100% cotton and resists shrinking in the wash.
• Easy Care: The fabric is designed for a low-maintenance lifestyle. It's machine washable and dries relatively quickly.
• Shape Retention: The jacket maintains its intended fit and form over time, preventing the sagging or stretching common in pure cotton garments.

Cons:

• Less Breathable than Pure Cotton: While breathable, it won't offer the same level of air circulation as a 100% cotton garment, which might be a factor in very warm, humid weather.
• Potential for Pilling: Like many blends, there is a possibility of pilling over time with heavy friction, although the quality of our blend is chosen to minimize this.

How We Measure the Jacket

• Front Length: Measured from the highest point of the shoulder (next to the collar) straight down to the bottom hem.
• Shoulder: Measured across the back, from one shoulder seam to the other.
• Bust: Measured from armpit to armpit across the chest, with the jacket laid flat. The value shown is this measurement doubled.
• Sleeve Length: Measured from the top of the shoulder seam down to the end of the cuff.

How to Measure Yourself for the Best Fit

1. Get a Tape Measure: Use a soft, flexible measuring tape for the most accurate results.
2. Measure Your Bust: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms. Keep the tape level and snug, but not tight. Compare this to the jacket's bust measurement, ensuring you leave a few inches for comfortable movement (e.g., if your bust is 40", a jacket bust of 42.9" will offer a standard fit).
3. Check Your Shoulders: Measure from the edge of one shoulder to the other across your back. This helps ensure the jacket seams sit correctly.
4. Consider Length: Stand straight and measure from your shoulder down to where you'd like the jacket to end. Compare this with our "front length" measurement to see how it will sit on your frame.

Fit Notes: This jacket is designed for a classic, comfortable fit that's neither too tight nor too baggy, making it perfect for layering. If you prefer an oversized look, consider sizing up.
