Mandy Plaid Long Sleeve Hooded Jacket — Fit, Materials & Care

How to measure this jacket

To choose the best size or check fit, measure the garment laid flat (or measure your body directly). Use a soft measuring tape and record in inches or centimeters. Smooth the fabric but avoid stretching.

Chest / Bust (pit-to-pit)

With the jacket laid flat and closed, measure straight across about 1" (2.5 cm) below the armholes from seam to seam. Double that number to get the full chest circumference.

Shoulder width

Measure straight across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam at the top.

Sleeve length

Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For a full-arm reference, measure from the center back neck to the cuff.

Body length

Measure from the top of the shoulder at the base of the collar down to the hem. Note whether you measured front or center back.

Hem width

Measure straight across the bottom hem and double to get the circumference.

Hood depth & opening

Measure from the neckline seam up to the highest point of the hood for depth, and across the hood opening for width.

Cuff & opening

Measure the wrist opening across and double for circumference; measure zipper or placket width if needed for comparison.

Compare these flat measurements to a jacket you already own that fits the way you want. Recommended ease: about 2–4" (5–10 cm) for a regular layered fit, 4–8" (10–20 cm) for an oversized look, or 0–2" (0–5 cm) for a fitted silhouette.

Materials

Refer to the garment label for the exact composition. Typical materials and trims used for this plaid hooded jacket style include:

• Exterior: Plaid woven fabric—commonly brushed cotton flannel or a cotton/polyester blend for a soft hand and durability.
• Lining: Lightweight polyester or cotton lining; some versions may include quilted polyester or faux-sherpa for extra warmth.
• Trim & hardware: Metal or plastic zipper, drawcord with aglets, rib-knit cuffs/hem, and patch or welt pockets.
• Finish: Garments may be pre-washed or soft-washed to reduce shrinkage and soften the fabric.

Material characteristics:

• Cotton flannel: Soft, breathable and warm; may soften and slightly shrink if washed in hot water.
• Polyester blends: More wrinkle- and shrink-resistant; durable and quick-drying.
• Faux-sherpa: Insulating and cozy; avoid high-heat drying to preserve loft.

Model & fit information

Product pages usually include model measurements for reference. If present, use those exact numbers when choosing your size. Example reference often used:

• Example: Model height 5'9" (175 cm) — wearing size S. Fit shown is true to size with a slightly relaxed silhouette for layering.

Fit guidance:

• If you prefer to layer bulky sweaters underneath, consider sizing up one size.
• For a sleeker, fitted look, choose your usual size or size down if you are between sizes and the jacket style allows.
• Always compare garment flat measurements (pit-to-pit, shoulder, sleeve, length) to a well-fitting jacket you own for the most accurate fit choice.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Check the care label first. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when provided.
• Preparation: Close zippers and fasten buttons; turn the jacket inside out to protect the outer surface and print.
• Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach.
• Drying: Tumble dry low or line dry. Remove promptly from the dryer to reduce wrinkles and reshape while slightly damp. For faux-sherpa or heavy linings, air drying is gentler.
• Spot cleaning: Blot stains with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth; test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Ironing & steaming: Use a low iron with a pressing cloth or a garment steamer. Avoid high heat on synthetic blends and trims.
• Storage: Hang on a sturdy hanger to preserve shape. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Avoid long-term compression to maintain any pile or loft.
• Professional care: If the label indicates dry-clean only or if the jacket has delicate trims, follow professional cleaning recommendations.

Style Tips

• Weekend casual: Layer over a basic tee or henley with straight-leg jeans and white sneakers for an effortless look.
• Cozy & practical: Wear over a hoodie or chunky knit with leggings and combat boots for warmth and comfort.
• Elevated styling: Belt at the waist over a fitted dress or midi skirt and add heeled ankle boots to dress up the plaid.
• Work-appropriate: Pair with a neutral turtleneck and tailored trousers; keep accessories minimal to balance the pattern.
• Accessories: Add a beanie, scarf, or crossbody bag that picks out a color from the plaid for a coordinated look.
• Mixing patterns: Keep other patterns subtle—pair bold plaid with solids or gentle textures to avoid visual overload.

Quick tip: If you plan to layer bulky knits underneath, size up; for a sleeker silhouette, choose your usual size. For exact material and model specifics, consult the product label or the product details section on the page.
