Black and White Plaid Dropped Shoulder Shirt Jacket | Black / S 100100518058832

How to measure

For the most accurate fit, measure the jacket laid flat on a table or measure your body and compare with the garment measurements. Follow the steps below for a dropped‑shoulder shirt jacket.

1. Prepare: Lay the jacket flat, smooth out wrinkles and fasten any buttons.
2. Chest / Bust (laid flat): Measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other, about 1" (2.5 cm) below the armhole; multiply this number by 2 to get the full circumference.
3. Shoulder width (back): Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back. Note: in a dropped‑shoulder style the seam sits lower on the arm, so this will read larger than a classic shoulder measurement.
4. Sleeve length: If there is a defined shoulder seam, measure from that seam to the end of the cuff. If not, measure from the center back of the neck (CBN) across the shoulder and down to the cuff.
5. Body length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (or the center back neck) down to the hem.
6. Hem width: Measure straight across the hem and multiply by 2 for the circumference.
7. Cuff width: Measure across the cuff when laid flat to assess wrist fit.

Materials

Check the garment label for the exact fiber composition. Common constructions for a black & white plaid dropped‑shoulder shirt jacket include:

• Brushed cotton flannel (100% cotton or cotton blends) — soft, breathable, warm, and comfortable; becomes softer after washing.
• Wool or wool‑blend — provides structure and superior warmth; may require gentler care or dry cleaning depending on the blend.
• Synthetic blends (polyester/viscose/nylon) — durable, wrinkle‑resistant, and shape‑retaining; often easier to care for and quick to dry.
• Linings & trims — some versions include a lightweight polyester lining; buttons are commonly resin or metal; pocket bags are usually cotton or polyester.

Material properties at a glance:

• Warmth: flannel and wool‑blend offer medium to high warmth.
• Breathability: natural fibers (cotton, wool) typically breathe better than heavy synthetics.
• Care: wool blends often need gentler handling; synthetics tolerate machine washing better.

About the model

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always follow the care instructions on the garment label first.
• When machine washing is allowed: cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent, wash with similar colors.
• Turn the jacket inside out and fasten buttons before washing to protect the plaid surface and trims.
• Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals that can fade or weaken fibers.
• For wool or delicate blends: consider hand wash in cool water or professional dry cleaning as indicated.
• Reshape and lay flat to dry or hang on a sturdy hanger; avoid high‑heat tumble drying to prevent shrinkage or distortion.
• Iron on low heat with a pressing cloth or steam to remove wrinkles; do not iron directly on trims.
• Use a fabric shaver to remove pilling gently; store on a wide hanger or folded with tissue for long‑term storage.

Style tips

• Casual: Wear open over a fitted tee or lightweight sweater with high‑waisted jeans and sneakers for an easy everyday look.
• Smart‑casual: Button up and pair with tailored trousers or a midi skirt and ankle boots; add a slim belt to define the waist.
• Layering: Use as a mid‑layer over a thin turtleneck under a longer coat in colder weather.
• Balance proportions: Pair the boxy, dropped‑shoulder top with slim bottoms—skinny jeans, straight trousers, or leggings—for a flattering silhouette.
• Contrast textures: Mix the plaid with leather or denim accessories (bag, boots) for added depth.
• Accessorize simply: Minimal jewelry, a beanie, or a scarf complement the pattern without competing with it.
