Giacca Cropped in Corduroy con Tasche e Misure del Prodotto | Brown / S 100100451534335

Corduroy Cropped Jacket — Product overview

A tactile, cropped corduroy jacket designed to add structure and texture to everyday outfits. It features a collared neckline and a button-front closure with roomy, softly gathered sleeves and practical pockets for everyday use. The silhouette is intentionally modern — cropped at the waist and slightly boxy through the body — making it ideal for high-waisted bottoms and layered looks.

Fabric & material information

Constructed from 100% polyester corduroy: corduroy is a pile fabric with parallel ribs (called wales) that create its characteristic ridged texture. Polyester-based corduroy combines the look of traditional cotton corduroy with synthetic performance characteristics — improved colorfastness, stronger abrasion resistance and quick drying. Polyester is a thermoplastic polymer (commonly PET). It is durable and holds its shape well but is less breathable than natural fibers and can release microfibers when laundered.

Fabric advantages — pros

• Warm, textured surface that adds depth to outfits and holds shape well.
• Durable and abrasion-resistant — resists fading and general wear better than many natural piles.
• Low wrinkling and quick-drying: easy-care for casual everyday wear.
• Machine-washable with simple home care when you follow the recommended instructions.
• Versatile styling: works as a statement topper or a neutral layering piece depending on color.

Fabric disadvantages — cons

• Less breathable than cotton — can feel warm in higher temperatures and during sustained activity.
• Can develop static and pilling over time, especially in high-friction areas like under bag straps.
• Nap (pile) can crush or show shading where the fabric is pressed or folded; occasional brushing/steaming helps.
• Polyester is synthetic and not biodegradable; laundering can release microfibers unless mitigation steps are taken.

How to measure the jacket — step‑by‑step (garment laid flat)

1. Bust / chest: Lay the jacket flat, smooth it, measure from side seam to side seam at the underarm level, then double that number to determine the full circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure straight across the back from shoulder seam edge to shoulder seam edge (seam-to-seam).
3. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam down the outside of the sleeve to the cuff.
4. Jacket length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (near the neckline seam) straight down to the bottom hem.
5. Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem and double to get circumference if you need to match skirt/waist proportions.
6. Always record measurements to the nearest quarter inch and compare them to a jacket you already own that fits the way you like.

How to measure yourself correctly (for best fit)

1. Bust: Wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms, parallel to the floor. Breathe normally while measuring.
2. Shoulder: Measure across the back from the point where your shoulder meets the arm on one side to the same point on the other side.
3. Sleeve length: For a jacket, measure from the shoulder point down to the wrist while your arm is slightly bent.
4. Torso length preference: Note where you prefer a jacket to land (at the natural waist, just above the hip, etc.) and compare to the garment length measurement.
5. Allow for ease: Decide how you plan to wear the jacket. For fitted wear add minimal ease; for layering over sweaters add extra ease (a few inches) to the bust measurement.

Fit notes & sizing advice

This jacket is cut with a cropped, boxy profile and voluminous sleeves. Expect a relaxed, slightly oversized fit through the body intended for light-to-medium layering (tees, thin knits). If you regularly wear thick sweaters underneath, consider sizing up for comfort at the chest and shoulders. For a closer, more tailored look, choose your usual top size or size down only if you prefer reduced sleeve volume and minimal room for layers.

Model & photography notes

Product photography can make proportions and color appear differently depending on lighting, styling and cropping. If the product page shows a model, use any listed model height and size as a visual reference but base size decisions on measurements rather than look alone. Zoom in to inspect the pile direction and button closure; movement of the fabric and texture is best judged in multiple images.

Color information & styling combinations

Corduroy’s ribs create subtle highlights and shadows, so colors often read richer and deeper in-person than in photos. This texture pairs especially well with:

• Denim: High-waisted jeans or a denim skirt for a casual everyday look.
• Tailored trousers: Slim or tapered pants and loafers for smart-casual office outfits.
• Layering essentials: Lightweight turtlenecks, tees, or silk blouses under the jacket for contrast in texture.
• Accessories: Leather belts, textured scarves and ankle boots create a pulled-together palette.

For color play: earth tones (olive, rust, camel) harmonize with denim and neutrals; jewel tones (deep navy, burgundy) can anchor lighter separates; black or charcoal corduroy works with both monochrome and bold accent pieces.

Season suitability

Best suited to transitional seasons — spring and fall — when temperatures are cool but not frigid. It also works in milder winter climates layered under or over midweight pieces. Avoid heavy summer wear because polyester corduroy traps warmth and breathability is reduced.

Care tips & quick maintenance

• Turn the jacket inside out before washing to protect the pile.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors; use a mild detergent.
• Avoid fabric softeners (they can flatten the nap) and bleach.
• Tumble dry low or, preferably, reshape and hang to dry to reduce heat exposure and maintain nap.
• Refresh the pile after drying with a gentle steam or a soft-bristled garment brush; brush in the direction of the ribs.
• For pills, use a fabric shaver carefully on low or a sweater comb; test on an inconspicuous area first.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. After each wear: Brush lightly to remove surface dust and restore pile; hang on a shaped or padded hanger to maintain shoulder lines.
2. Spot cleaning: Treat small stains promptly with a mild detergent and cool water; blot, don’t rub, and let air dry.
3. Deep cleaning: Follow label instructions; if professional cleaning is recommended on the garment, use a trusted cleaner familiar with pile fabrics.
4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sun; use breathable garment bags for long-term storage to avoid sun-fade and moisture buildup.
5. Minimize microfibers: To reduce microfiber release during washing, turn the jacket inside out, wash on cold gentle cycles, use a front-loading washer if possible, and consider using a microfiber-capture bag or filter.

Style tips — outfit ideas

• Weekend casual: Crew tee, high-rise straight jeans, white sneakers and a minimalist crossbody for effortless style.
• Office casual: Lightweight knit or blouse, tapered trousers, loafers — the cropped length keeps proportions polished.
• Layered warmth: Thin turtleneck, midi slip dress and ankle boots — the jacket adds texture without bulk.
• Evening out: Silk camisole, fitted leather-look pants, heeled boots and layered necklaces for elevated contrast.
• Street-ready: Hoodie or sweatshirt underneath, slim joggers and chunky sneakers — lantern sleeves create a fashion-forward silhouette.

FAQ

What is the jacket made of?

It is made from 100% polyester corduroy — a synthetic pile fabric with vertical ribs (wales).

Is it warm enough for winter?

It works well for cool weather and transitional seasons. For cold winter temperatures, layer under a heavier coat or wear over warm midlayers.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes — cold, gentle cycle is recommended. Turn the garment inside out, fasten closures and wash with like colors. Follow the care guide for best results.

Will it shrink or lose shape?

Polyester is stable and resists shrinkage when washed properly. Avoid high heat drying and high-heat ironing to preserve fit and nap.

Does it stretch?

Polyester corduroy has limited natural stretch. Expect a structured feel; choose sizing based on how much layering you plan to do.

How do I restore crushed pile?

Use a handheld steamer or stand steam at a short distance, then gently brush the ribs with a soft garment brush to lift the nap.

Is the jacket lined?

Construction details vary by production batch. If lining is important to you, check the full product details on the listing or contact customer service for confirmation.

How should I choose my size?

Compare your body measurements (bust, shoulder) to a jacket you already own that fits the way you like. Allow extra room (ease) if you plan to layer heavier knitwear underneath.

Are there sustainability considerations?

Polyester is petroleum-based and not biodegradable, though recycled polyester options exist. To reduce environmental impact, wash gently (to lower microfiber release), repair rather than replace and recycle at end of life where facilities exist.

Final notes

This corduroy cropped jacket is a tactile, versatile piece that lifts everyday outfits with texture and thoughtful proportion. Whether you use it as a light outer layer in fall or a structured top layer for smart-casual looks, following the measurement and care guidance will help you choose the right size and keep the jacket looking its best season after season.
