Button Down Denim Vest | Medium / S 100100129647028

How to measure

Measurements are taken with the vest laid flat on a hard surface. Use a soft measuring tape and record in inches or centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm). When a measurement is given seam‑to‑seam, double it to get the full circumference.

• Chest / Bust: Lay the vest flat. Measure 1" (2.5 cm) below the armholes from side seam to side seam, then multiply by 2.
• Shoulder width: Measure straight across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
• Front / Back length: From the highest point of the shoulder (where the shoulder seam meets the collar) down to the bottom hem. For center‑front length, measure from the base of the collar along the placket to the hem.
• Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem and multiply by 2.
• Armhole circumference: Measure from the top of the armhole seam to the underarm seam and multiply by 2, or measure the opening circumference with a tape.
• Neck opening: Measure seam‑to‑seam around the neckline and multiply by 2, or measure circumference directly.
• Button spacing (optional): Measure the distance between button centers along the placket if you need exact placements for repairs or restyling.

Tip: Measure a vest you already own that fits how you want this one to fit, and compare measurements. Allow 1–2 cm (0.5–1 in) for manufacturing tolerance and 2–5 cm (1–2 in) extra ease if you plan to layer over thicker knitwear.

Materials

Common materials and construction details for a button‑down denim vest:

• Main fabric: Denim — typically 100% cotton (rigid denim) or a cotton blend with 1–3% elastane for stretch.
• Lining: Often unlined; if lined, the lining is usually cotton or polyester.
• Trims & hardware: Metal buttons or snaps (nickel, brass or silver‑tone), rivets, and sometimes a leather or faux‑leather patch.
• Thread: Durable polyester or cotton‑wrapped polyester topstitching.
• Finish: Stone wash, distressed or raw indigo — finishes affect colorfastness and how the fabric ages.

Always check the sewn‑in composition label for the exact fiber content and care symbols for this specific item.

Model information

Use these reference details to judge fit and proportion from the product images:

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Model measurements: Bust 32" (81 cm) / Waist 24.5" (62 cm) / Hips 35" (89 cm)
• Wearing size: Small

Fit note: This style works well buttoned for a more defined silhouette or left open for a relaxed layered look. If you intend to layer bulky sweaters underneath, consider sizing up one size.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

Follow the garment's sewn care label first. If absent, use these general denim care recommendations:

• Wash inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle or hand wash to protect color and detailing.
• Use a mild detergent designed for colored fabrics; avoid bleach and harsh whiteners.
• Wash with like colors; new denim can transfer indigo—wash separately for the first few washes.
• Spot clean small stains and air out between wears to reduce washing frequency and preserve the finish.
• Line dry or lay flat to dry. Avoid high heat drying which can shrink the fabric or damage trims and elastic blends.
• Iron inside out on medium heat if needed; avoid direct ironing of metal trims or labels.
• For stretch blends, avoid tumble drying and high heat to protect elasticity.
• Store on a hanger to maintain shape; avoid damp, tightly packed storage that can cause odors or mildew.
• For heavily embellished pieces or stubborn stains, consider professional dry cleaning.

Style tips

How to make the most of your denim vest:

• Casual classic: Layer over a white tee or striped top with high‑rise jeans and sneakers for an effortless look.
• Double denim: Mix washes—contrast light and dark denim rather than matching exactly for a modern effect.
• Feminine balance: Wear over a floral midi or slip dress; button and add a belt to create a waistline.
• Smart‑casual: Pair with a crisp shirt, tapered trousers and loafers for a refined yet relaxed outfit.
• Streetwear: Layer over a hoodie, pair with joggers or cargo pants and chunky trainers for an urban edge.
• Accessories: Add pins, patches, layered necklaces or a silk scarf to personalize the vest.
• Proportions: For shorter torsos choose a cropped vest to lengthen the look; for added waist definition button and belt the vest.
• Shoes: Sneakers, ankle boots, sandals or loafers all work—choose footwear to set the tone (casual vs. polished).
