Plaid Open Front Long Sleeve Jacket

How to measure this jacket (garment measurements)

Tools: flexible cloth measuring tape, flat surface, pen and paper. Lay the jacket flat and smooth out wrinkles — do not stretch the fabric.

1. Chest (bust): Measure straight across the jacket from one armpit seam to the other. Multiply that flat measurement by 2 to get the full chest circumference.
2. Shoulder width: With the back facing up, measure from the outside edge of one shoulder seam to the outside edge of the opposite shoulder seam.
3. Sleeve length: If there is a defined shoulder seam, measure from that seam straight down the outer sleeve to the end of the cuff. For raglan or drop-shoulder styles, measure from the center back at the base of the neck to the end of the cuff.
4. Back length: Measure from the highest point of the center-back neckline (where the neck meets the shoulder) straight down to the hem.
5. Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem from one side to the other (flat). Double to get circumference if needed.
6. Cuff (sleeve opening): Measure flat across the cuff and double for circumference.
7. Notes & best practice: Measure twice for accuracy, record values in both inches and centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm), and state whether measurements are "flat" or "circumference." For listing finished measurements, always note whether the garment is measured laid flat or measured while worn.

Materials & construction

Exact composition can vary by style or production run — always check the product label or item details for the definitive fabric breakdown. Typical materials and construction details for this style include:

• Outer fabric: Often a medium-weight plaid woven such as polyester/viscose blends, polyester/cotton blends, or wool/poly blends for warmth and structure.
• Lining: Many open-front jackets are unlined or have a lightweight polyester lining for smooth layering; heavier versions use full linings for warmth and shape.
• Interfacing & trims: Collar and front facings commonly use lightweight interfacing for stability. Buttons or toggles are usual trims (plastic, horn-effect, or metal).
• Fabric characteristics: Expect a soft hand (brushed flannel look) and medium weight suitable for spring/fall layering. Some blends resist wrinkles and are easy to care for; wool blends offer more insulation but may require gentler cleaning.

How to confirm: check the sewn care/composition label inside the jacket or the product's technical details on the product page for exact fiber percentages and lining details.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

Always follow the care instructions on the garment's label first. Below are general recommendations for typical plaid open-front jackets.

• Before washing: Close any buttons or fastenings, turn the jacket inside out, and remove loose dirt with a lint brush or soft garment brush.
• Machine wash (when permitted): Cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent, wash with like colors. Use a mesh bag for delicate trims. Avoid bleach and fabric softener unless the label allows it.
• Hand wash: Use cold water and a mild detergent, gently agitate, rinse thoroughly, press out excess water (do not wring), then reshape and lay flat to dry.
• Dry clean: Recommended for wool-blend or heavily structured versions — follow label guidance.
• Drying: Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry or hang on a shaped hanger if the label permits. Avoid high-heat tumble drying unless explicitly allowed.
• Ironing & steaming: Use a low heat iron with a pressing cloth or prefer a garment steamer to remove wrinkles and refresh the fabric without crushing the texture.
• Pilling & lint: Remove pills gently with a fabric shaver or pill comb. Use a lint roller for surface fuzz and pet hair.
• Storage: Store on a wide or padded hanger to maintain shoulder shape. Keep in a breathable garment bag for long-term storage and avoid prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading.
• Spot cleaning: Treat spills immediately — blot (don't rub) with a clean cloth, use a mild soap solution if needed, then rinse and air dry. For stubborn stains, consult professional cleaning.

Style tips

• Casual everyday: Layer over a white tee or lightweight sweater with slim jeans and ankle boots for a clean, effortless look.
• Smart casual / office: Wear over a thin turtleneck or blouse with tailored trousers and loafers or low heels — keep bottoms streamlined to balance the jacket's relaxed shape.
• Dress it up: Belt the jacket at the waist to create shape and wear over a midi dress with tall boots for a polished autumn outfit.
• Layering: The open front makes this jacket ideal for layering — try a fitted hoodie or chunky knit underneath for added warmth and texture contrast.
• Color coordination: Pick one color from the plaid pattern (e.g., charcoal, cream, burgundy) and repeat it in your trousers, top, or accessories to create a cohesive outfit.
• Accessories: A structured crossbody or leather tote, a warm scarf in a complementing color, and simple jewelry will elevate the look without competing with the plaid.
• Proportions: Because the jacket is open and slightly boxy, pair it with slimmer bottoms (skinny/straight jeans or tailored pants) to maintain a flattering silhouette.
