Collared Neck Button Down Coat — Fit, Materials, Model & Care

How to measure this coat (step-by-step)

Measure the coat laid flat on a table with the buttons fastened. Use a soft tape measure and record measurements in centimetres (cm) or inches (in). Multiply flat widths by 2 to get circumferences.

1. Chest (bust): Measure straight across the coat 2–3 cm (about 1") below the armholes from side seam to side seam. Multiply by 2 for the full chest circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure across the back from the outside of one shoulder seam to the outside of the other shoulder seam (seam-to-seam).
3. Sleeve length: From the shoulder seam, measure along the top of the sleeve to the end of the cuff. If the coat uses a set-in sleeve, you can also measure from the center back (CB) at the base of the collar to the end of the cuff for comparison.
4. Center-back length (CB): From the center back at the base of the collar (nape) straight down to the bottom hem.
5. Waist: If the coat has a defined waist seam, measure across that seam from side to side and multiply by 2. If not, measure about halfway between the armhole and hem at the narrowest point of the coat body.
6. Hip / Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem from side to side and multiply by 2 for the full hem circumference.
7. Cuff / Sleeve opening: Measure across the cuff when closed and multiply by 2.
8. Collar/Neck: For high collars, measure the height of the collar from the base to the top; for neck circumference, measure around the inside when the coat is fastened if needed.
9. Notes: Lay the coat flat without stretching seams. Record each measurement to the nearest 0.5 cm (or 1/8"). For product listings, list measured garment dimensions and indicate intended fit (slim/regular/oversized) and recommended body ease.

Guidance for choosing size

• Compare your body measurements (chest, shoulders) to the garment measurements. For comfortable layering allow approximately 8–12 cm (3–5") of extra chest circumference for a coat; for thick sweaters allow 12–16 cm (5–6").
• If you prefer a fitted look, choose a size with 4–6 cm (1.5–2.5") of ease; for a relaxed/oversized look, choose 12 cm (5") or more of ease.
• When between sizes, consider how you plan to layer and whether shoulder and sleeve lengths are critical to your fit.

Materials & composition (what to expect & how to identify)

Exact composition can vary by color and season—always check the garment label or the product page. Typical components for a collared button-down coat include:

Outer / Shell

• Wool or wool-blend (e.g., wool + polyester): warm, insulating, breathable; usually recommended for dry cleaning or specialist care.
• 100% polyester or polyester blend: durable, lighter, often water-resistant or treated with a DWR finish; more machine-wash-friendly.
• Technical fabrics / laminated finishes: weather-resistant, easy to wipe clean; follow label instructions for care.

Lining

• Viscose or acetate lining: smooth and breathable, often found in higher-end coats.
• Polyester lining: durable, quick-drying, common in machine-washable styles.

Filling / Insulation (if applicable)

• Down / feather: high warmth-to-weight ratio; typically requires careful cleaning (professional wash/dry-clean recommended).
• Synthetic fill (polyester-based): insulates when wet better than down, often machine-washable and quick to dry.

Trims

Buttons (plastic, horn/corozo, metal), zippers (metal/plastic), leather or faux-leather trim—these affect care and repair options.

How to confirm exact materials: check the sewn-in care label (look for "Shell", "Lining", "Filling"), review the product specifications on the product page, or contact customer service for the exact fabric breakdown.

Model information (reference)

Example model reference commonly used on product pages — use actual product data when available:

Use this reference to compare how the coat appears on a model: if the model wears S and you normally wear M, check the garment measurements and ease guidance above to choose your best size.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

• Always follow the garment care label first. Labels give the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning method for the exact fabric used.
• Wool / wool-blend coats: Prefer professional dry cleaning for deep cleaning. Between cleans, air out and use a soft clothes brush to remove surface dirt. Spot clean small stains with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
• Polyester / synthetic outer shells: Many are machine-washable—turn the coat inside out, close buttons/zips, use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent, and dry flat or tumble dry low if allowed. Check label first.
• Down or synthetic-filled coats: Wash according to label. If machine-washable, use a front-loading washer or gentle cycle; use low heat tumble drying with clean tennis balls to restore loft. Professional cleaning is recommended for down-heavy garments.
• Ironing & steaming: Use a garment steamer to remove wrinkles safely. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting with a press cloth between iron and fabric to avoid shine or damage.
• Storage: Hang on a broad, shaped hanger to preserve shoulder shape. Store in a breathable garment bag (not plastic) to avoid moisture buildup. Use cedar blocks or lavender sachets to deter moths when storing long-term.
• Minor repairs: Re-sew loose buttons promptly and mend small seam tears to prevent further damage. Replace or repair worn shoulder pads to keep silhouette intact.
• Stain tips: Blot liquid stains immediately—don’t rub. For oil-based stains, a small amount of gentle detergent or a specialist stain remover may help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Style tips — how to wear your Collared Neck Button Down Coat

• Everyday casual: Throw it over a knit sweater, slim jeans and ankle boots for an easy, polished look.
• Office / smart-casual: Pair with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt and loafers or heeled boots. A fine-knit turtleneck under the coat keeps the look streamlined.
• Weekend / layered: Layer a hoodie or chunky knit underneath for a relaxed, cozy outfit. Leave the coat unbuttoned to show the layers.
• Evening: Belt the coat at the waist (if compatible) and wear over a slim dress with heeled boots for an elevated silhouette.
• Accessories: Add a bold scarf or patterned shawl to introduce color and texture. Structured bags keep the outfit refined; crossbody bags work well with shorter lengths.
• Proportion tips: If the coat is mid-thigh or longer, balance the silhouette with slim bottoms or heels. Shorter coats look great with high-waisted trousers or wide-leg pants that create length at the waist.
• Body-shape tweaks: Use a belt to create or emphasize a waist. For broader shoulders, choose styles without heavy shoulder padding; for pear shapes, choose coats with subtle volume at the top to balance hips.
