Plaid Contrast Dropped Shoulder Coat

How to measure

To ensure the best fit, measure both your body and the coat. Use a flexible tape measure and keep it parallel to the floor for horizontal measurements.

Measuring your body (for fit)

1. Chest / Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest/bust, keeping the tape snug but not tight.
2. Waist: Measure around your natural waistline (the narrowest point) with the tape comfortably snug.
3. Hips: With feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
4. Sleeve length: Measure from the centre back of your neck, across the top of the shoulder, to the wrist bone with your arm relaxed.
5. Height: Note your full height for coat-length reference.

Measuring the coat (flat-lay garment measurements)

1. Chest (across): Lay the coat flat, smooth out wrinkles, measure straight across 2–3 cm (about 1") below the armholes from seam to seam, then double that number to get the full chest circumference.
2. Shoulder width (dropped shoulder): For dropped-shoulder styles, measure across the back from sleeve seam to sleeve seam — the seam intentionally sits lower than the natural shoulder point.
3. Sleeve length: Measure from the sleeve seam (where sleeve and body meet) down to the cuff. For a body-based sleeve measure, go centre-back neck → shoulder seam → cuff.
4. Back length: Measure from the centre back at the base of the collar down to the hem.
5. Hem width: Measure flat across the hem and double to find the full hem circumference.

Tip: Measure over the type of layers you intend to wear (e.g., a sweater) and convert units if needed (1 in = 2.54 cm).

Materials

Typical composition for a plaid contrast dropped-shoulder coat (check the garment label or product page for exact percentages):

• Shell / Outer fabric: Wool-blend (commonly a polyester/wool or polyester/wool/viscose mix) — offers warmth, structure, and the classic plaid appearance.
• Lining: Smooth polyester or acetate lining for easy on/off and comfortable layering.
• Contrast details: Contrasting collar/panel often made from a coordinating woven fabric or synthetic to add definition.
• Interlining / filling (if present): Lightweight polyester padding for added insulation in some versions.
• Hardware: Buttons, snaps or toggles — typically metal or coated plastic.

Material notes: Wool-blend shells keep you warm and hold shape; the polyester lining aids movement and durability. For exact fiber content and care information, always refer to the sewn-in label.

Model

Reference model information to help gauge fit:

• Height: 5'10" / 178 cm
• Model measurements (approx.): Bust 32" / 81 cm, Waist 24" / 61 cm, Hips 35" / 89 cm
• Wearing: Size S (relaxed fit)

Fit advice: This coat has a relaxed, dropped-shoulder silhouette. If you prefer a more tailored look, consider sizing down; size up for extra layering room.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Check the care label first: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions—many wool-blend coats are dry-clean only.
• Spot clean: Blot spills immediately with a clean, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid aggressive rubbing.
• Professional cleaning: Take the coat to a reputable dry cleaner for full cleaning to maintain shape, finish and lining.
• Brushing & lint removal: Use a soft clothes brush to remove surface dirt and a lint roller for stray fibers on plaid fabrics.
• De-wrinkle: Steam to remove creases; if ironing is required, use a low setting with a pressing cloth and avoid direct heat on contrast trims.
• Storage: Hang on a wide, supportive hanger to preserve shoulder shape. Store in a breathable garment bag (not plastic) and use cedar or lavender to deter moths.
• Pilling: Gently remove pills with a fabric comb or shaver designed for wool blends.
• Avoid: Machine washing and tumble drying unless explicitly allowed on the label; avoid prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Style Tips

• Casual: Wear over a chunky knit, straight-leg jeans and ankle boots for a cozy everyday look. The dropped shoulder gives an effortless vibe.
• Work: Layer over tailored trousers or a midi dress with loafers or low-heel boots to balance the coat’s relaxed shoulders.
• Belt it: Add a belt at the waist to create shape and elevate the coat into a structured outerwear piece.
• Accent the contrast: Pick up the coat’s contrast color in your scarf, hat or handbag for a cohesive, intentional look.
• Layering for warmth: Use thin insulated layers (e.g., a lightweight down vest) beneath the coat—dropped shoulders allow extra room without adding bulk at the neckline.
• Shoes: Pair with ankle boots or knee-high boots for a polished winter outfit, or white sneakers for a relaxed, modern mix.
