Pocketed Contrast Collared Neck Jacket | Beige / S 100100037821822

Overview

A modern, easy-to-wear jacket with a contrasting collar that lifts everyday outfits. Lightweight and unstructured, it works as a smart overshirt or a light outer layer — practical enough for errands, polished enough for a casual office. The clean lines and subtle details make it a versatile piece that pairs with denim, tailored trousers or layered dresses.

Fabric advantages — pros & cons

Pros

• Comfortable and breathable hand-feel thanks to natural cotton fiber dominance — soft next to skin for all-day wear.
• Improved durability and shape retention from the synthetic content — fewer wrinkles and better colorfastness than pure cotton.
• Low-maintenance: sturdy enough for regular wear and simple home laundering when you follow best practices.
• Easy to style — the blend holds structure around the collar and shoulders while remaining flexible for movement.

Cons

• Slightly less breathable than fully natural fabrics on very hot days because of the synthetic fiber content.
• Potential for pilling or static over long-term wear, especially in high-friction areas (underarm, cuffs).
• Contains synthetic fiber(s) which are not biodegradable and can release microfibers in the wash.
• Heat sensitivity — excessive dryer heat or hot irons can affect shape and finish if not careful.

About the materials

The jacket is made from a predominately natural-cotton fabric blended with a small amount of a polyester-type synthetic. Cotton brings breathability, moisture absorbency and a comfortable hand; polyester adds tensile strength, better color retention and reduced wrinkling. Blends like this are popular because they combine comfort with everyday practicality: you get many of the benefits of cotton while improving longevity, drape and ease of care.

A few practical notes on materials and environmental care: synthetic fibers can shed tiny microfibers during washing. To reduce shedding and extend garment life, wash on cold with a gentle cycle, use a washing-bag designed to trap microfibers, wash full loads to reduce friction, and consider a filter or microfiber-catching product in your laundry system.

How to measure — step-by-step

Tools

Use a soft cloth measuring tape, a mirror, and a flat surface or a friend to help for best accuracy.

How to measure your body

• Bust/Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor and not pulled tight. Breathe normally when measuring.
• Shoulder width: Measure across the back from the outer edge of one shoulder to the other (where a shoulder seam would sit).
• Sleeve length: With arm relaxed at your side, measure from the shoulder point (bone) down to the wrist bone where you want the cuff to sit.
• Jacket length: Measure from the base of your neck (where the collar meets the neck) straight down to where you want the hem to finish (hip, mid-hip, etc.).

How to measure an existing jacket (recommended)

• Lay the jacket flat on a smooth surface and smooth out creases without stretching fabric.
• Chest: Measure straight across from one armpit seam to the other, then double that number for the full circumference.
• Shoulders: Measure across the back from seam-to-seam at the top where the sleeves attach.
• Sleeve: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
• Length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (near the collar) down to the hem.

How to choose the right fit

Compare your body or favorite-jacket measurements with the garment measurements listed on the product page. Allow for ease depending on the look you want:

• Close/trim fit: 0–1" (0–2.5 cm) additional chest ease.
• Classic/comfortable fit: 2–4" (5–10 cm) additional chest ease.
• Oversized/roomy fit: 4"+ (10+ cm) additional chest ease; size up if you plan to wear thick knits underneath.

Pay special attention to shoulder measurements and sleeve length — if the shoulder seam sits past your natural shoulder, the jacket will read oversized even if the chest measurement matches.

Model information (how to interpret product photos)

Retail photography is provided to illustrate style and fit. Many retailers note the model’s height and the size they are wearing near the photo gallery. When that detail is not visible, look closely at how the jacket sits: if the sleeves bunch, the model may be wearing a closer fit; if the hem hits mid-hip, you can use that visual to judge length. Use model photos as a guide but rely on the measurement chart and the measuring steps above for sizing decisions.

Color and how to combine the garment

The contrast collar gives the jacket a refined focal point — it reads modern yet classic and pairs easily with many palettes. Styling ideas:

• Casual weekend: white tee, straight-leg denim, clean white sneakers — the contrast collar adds polish.
• Smart-casual: button over a thin knit or blouse, tailored chinos or a midi skirt, loafers or ankle boots.
• Layered cold-weather look: lightweight sweater underneath, scarf in a complementary tone, rugged boots for texture.
• Color pairings: neutrals (black, navy, cream, olive), muted jewel tones (burgundy, forest green) or soft pastels for a contemporary twist.

Style notes

Design cues — contrast collar, button front, and discreet storage — position this jacket between an overshirt and a light utility jacket. It can be worn closed for a more tailored silhouette or open as a light layer. The minimal structure works well across casual and slightly dressier contexts.

Season suitability

• Best for: spring and fall when temperatures are moderate.
• Also good for: cool summer evenings and layered milder winter days (paired with sweaters).
• Not recommended as a sole layer in freezing temperatures without substantial mid-layers or a heavier coat over it.

Care tips & fit notes

Fit notes

• If you plan to layer heavy knits, take one size up from your usual for comfortable arm movement.
• If you prefer a tailored look, choose the size closest to your chest measurement and minimal ease.
• Shoulder and sleeve fit are the most important — if these feel right, the rest of the jacket will generally wear well.

Quick care tips

• Turn the jacket inside out before washing to protect the outer face and collar contrast.
• Use a gentle detergent and avoid bleach; remove promptly from the dryer and reshape while damp.
• To reduce pilling, avoid excessive friction from backpacks or rough surfaces; use a fabric shaver if pills appear.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

1. Spot-treat stains as soon as possible with a mild detergent and cold water.
2. When laundering, choose a gentle cycle and cold water. Fasten buttons and turn the jacket inside out before placing it in the machine.
3. Air-dry flat or hang to dry on a shaped hanger to reduce creasing and preserve shoulder shape. If using a dryer, use the lowest sensible heat and remove promptly.
4. Iron or steam on a low setting if needed; press inside out to protect the contrast collar and avoid direct high heat on polyester-containing areas.
5. Store on a wide hanger to maintain shoulder shape; avoid compacting it into a jam-packed closet for long periods.
6. Repair loose threads and buttons promptly to extend life — a tiny repair now saves a replacement later.
7. To minimize microfiber release, occasionally use a microfiber-catching device or wash bag and avoid excessive repeat washing unless necessary.

Style tips

• Weekend: Layer over a striped tee, cuff the sleeves, wear with slim jeans and leather sneakers for an easy, put-together look.
• Office-casual: Button the jacket and pair with tapered trousers and loafers; add a thin belt if the silhouette needs definition.
• Evening: Wear over a slip dress or a fitted knit dress and finish with ankle boots or heeled sandals depending on the season.
• Travel: Use it as a lightweight outer layer — pockets are handy for boarding passes and small essentials; neutral tones mix well with capsule wardrobes.

FAQ

Will this jacket shrink?

Minimal shrinkage can occur with cotton-rich fabrics if subjected to heat. To limit shrinkage, launder gently in cool water and avoid high dryer heat; reshape while damp.

Is the collar removable or decorative?

The contrasting collar is a fixed design detail intended to add visual interest — it is not detachable.

Are the pockets functional?

The front pockets are designed for everyday small items (phone, keys, cards). They are practical rather than decorative.

Can I wear it year-round?

It is most comfortable in transitional seasons (spring and fall) and as a layer in other seasons. For very cold climates use it as a middle layer beneath a warmer coat.

How do I remove pills or snags?

Use a fabric shaver or a gentle sweater comb on pilled areas. For small snags, use a needle to gently pull the loop through to the inside and secure the yarn with a small stitch if needed.

What if I'm between sizes?

Choose based on how you like to layer: size up for room to wear thicker layers underneath, or choose the smaller size for a neater, closer fit. Refer to the measuring guide above and compare to your preferred jacket for the most reliable fit.

How should I store this jacket long-term?

Clean it before long-term storage, hang on a broad hanger, and store in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
