Button Down Denim Vest

How to measure

To choose the best fit, measure a similar vest that already fits you well or measure the garment flat on a hard surface. Smooth but do not stretch the fabric.

• Chest / Bust: Lay the vest flat and measure straight across from armpit seam to armpit seam. Multiply that number by 2 to get the full circumference. For buttoned styles, measure with the vest buttoned.
• Shoulder width: Measure straight across the back from one shoulder seam to the other shoulder seam.
• Front length: From the highest shoulder point (where the shoulder seam meets the neckline) down to the front hem.
• Back length: From the center back at the base of the neck down to the hem.
• Hem width: Measure flat across the bottom hem and multiply by 2 for total circumference.
• Armhole circumference: Measure seam-to-seam around the armhole and multiply by 2, or measure around the fullest part of your upper arm when measuring your body.
• Neck opening: Measure the inside collar circumference if you need exact neck sizing.

Quick tips: use inches or centimeters consistently, keep the tape parallel to the floor when measuring your body, and add 1–2 inches (2–5 cm) of ease if you plan to layer bulky sweaters underneath.

Materials (typical)

Common materials and finishes for a button-down denim vest and what they mean for fit and care:

• Main fabric: Cotton denim (often 100% cotton) or cotton blends with 1–3% elastane for stretch. Denim weight commonly ranges from lightweight (6–8 oz) to midweight (9–12 oz) and heavyweight (13+ oz).
• Finish: Raw/rigid denim, stone wash, enzyme wash, or vintage/acid wash. Pre-washed finishes are softer and typically have less shrinkage.
• Hardware: Metal buttons, snaps and rivets (brass, copper or nickel-plated) are used for closures and accents.
• Trims & thread: Polyester/cotton or polyester thread for durability; pocket bags typically cotton or cotton-blend.
• Sustainable options: Some vests use organic cotton, recycled denim, or lower-impact dyes—look for product details if sustainability is important to you.

Note: 100% cotton denim is breathable and durable but may shrink slightly on first wash. Blends with elastane add comfort and recovery. Pre-washed garments usually require less special handling.

Model information (reference)

Example model details shown in photography (use for fit reference or replace with your actual model specs):

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Model measurements: Bust 32" (81 cm) • Waist 24" (61 cm) • Hips 34" (86 cm)
• Wearing size: Small (S)

Compare these reference measurements to the garment measurements you obtain to choose the correct size.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Turn the vest inside out before washing to preserve color and protect hardware.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors; use a mild detergent. Wash separately for the first few washes to avoid dye transfer.
• Avoid bleach and harsh detergents. Do not overuse fabric softener on rigid denim as it can affect texture.
• Hang to dry or lay flat to dry to prevent shrinkage and preserve shape. If tumble drying is necessary, use low heat and remove promptly.
• Iron inside out on low to medium heat if needed; avoid placing the iron directly on metal hardware.
• Spot-clean small stains to reduce the number of full washes. Test stain removers on an inconspicuous area first.
• Fasten buttons/snaps before washing to reduce catching and hardware wear.
• Store folded or on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder distortion; keep out of direct sunlight to minimize fading.

Style tips

• Casual everyday: Wear open over a white tee and high-waisted jeans or chinos with sneakers or ankle boots.
• Smart-casual: Layer over a crisp button-down or lightweight turtleneck and pair with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt.
• Feminine contrast: Throw the vest over a floral dress or midi skirt for a soft-meets-structured look.
• Double denim: Mix washes—pair a dark vest with light jeans (or vice versa) to avoid an overly matchy look.
• Belted: Cinch at the waist with a slim belt to define your silhouette and create an hourglass shape.
• Edgy vibe: Combine with a graphic tee, distressed jeans and combat boots for a rocker-inspired outfit.
• Accessories: Layer necklaces, wear a bandana or hat, or add statement earrings—metal hardware on the vest pairs well with brass or silver jewelry.
• Seasonal tips: Summer: over crop tops and dresses. Fall: over lightweight sweaters. Winter: layer under a coat, choose a size that accommodates thicker layers if needed.
