Green Plaid Shacket Oversized Flannel Jacket with Long Sleeve Length | Black Forest / S 100100360314022

How to measure — get the perfect fit

Use a soft tape measure. For accuracy, measure twice and record in inches and centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm). There are two useful methods: measuring the garment laid flat (recommended for sellers/returns) and measuring your body (recommended for buyers).

Measuring the garment (laid flat)

1. Chest / Bust: Button/snaps closed, lay flat. Measure across the front 1 inch (2.5 cm) below the armholes from seam to seam, then double that number for full circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure straight across from one shoulder seam to the other.
3. Sleeve length (set-in sleeve): Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For brands that list sleeve length from the center back, measure from the center back neck to the end of the cuff.
4. Front body length (HPS): Measure from the highest point of the shoulder at the collar seam (HPS) straight down to the hem.
5. Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem and double for the full circumference.
6. Across back: Measure between the armhole seams across the back.
7. Collar / Neck band: Measure around the collar band or across the collar band laid flat and double if required.
8. Notes: Lay the garment on a flat surface without stretching. Record both inches and cm. When listing measurements, state whether they are flat or doubled.

Measuring your body (to choose a size)

1. Chest / Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
2. Shoulders: Measure from one shoulder point to the other across the back.
3. Sleeve length: With your arm relaxed at your side, measure from the shoulder point to the wrist.
4. Torso length: Measure from the high point of shoulder (near the base of the neck) down to where you want the shacket to sit.
5. Fit guidance: For a shacket intended for layering, allow about 2–4 in (5–10 cm) of positive ease at the chest. For an oversized look allow 6–10 in (15–25 cm) of ease.

Materials — what it’s likely made of

Please check the product detail panel or the garment care label for the exact fabric breakdown. Typical components for a plaid shacket are:

• Shell: Cotton flannel (100% cotton) — soft, breathable, with a brushed nap; or wool / wool-blend — warmer and more insulating; or polyester/cotton blends for durability and easy care.
• Lining: Polyester or cotton blend — used on the body or sleeves for smooth layering.
• Insulation (if present): Lightweight polyester batting or quilted lining for additional warmth.
• Hardware: Metal or resin snap buttons (snap-down front), thread, potential rivets on pockets.

Material properties & quick tips:

• Cotton flannel: Comfortable and breathable; may shrink slightly if washed in hot water—wash cold.
• Wool/wool blends: Warm and naturally water-repellent; often require gentle wash or dry cleaning.
• Polyester blends: Durable, colorfast, and easier to care for but less breathable.

Model information

Model details (when provided on the product page) typically include height, body measurements and the size worn. Use those details to compare with your own measurements.

Example reference format commonly shown:

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Model measurements: Bust 32", Waist 24", Hips 34"
• Model is wearing: Size S
• Fit note: This shacket runs true to size / designed for a relaxed fit (check product-specific fit notes on the page).

How to use it: if your measurements align with the model’s and you like the way the garment fits on the model, choose the same size; if you plan to layer thick sweaters underneath, select a size up for extra ease.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

Always follow the garment's care label first. If no label is available, these general tips will help preserve shape, color and hardware:

1. Fasten before washing: Close snaps/buttons to reduce snagging and protect hardware.
2. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors for cotton or polyester blends. Use mild detergent. Hand wash or use a wool cycle for wool blends.
3. Drying: Lay flat to dry for wool or heavy flannels. Tumble dry low only if the label allows; remove promptly to avoid wrinkles and hardware heat exposure.
4. Ironing & steaming: Low to medium heat; use a pressing cloth for delicate or brushed surfaces. Steam is gentler and great for removing wrinkles without direct contact.
5. Dry clean: Recommended for wool shackets or garments labeled "Dry Clean Only."
6. Spot cleaning: Treat stains promptly: mild detergent for water-based stains, dish soap for oil-based stains. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
7. Pilling & lint: Use a fabric shaver or sweater stone for pills; a lint roller removes surface fuzz. Wash inside out to reduce abrasion.
8. Storage: Hang on a wide hanger to maintain shoulder shape. For long-term storage, use breathable garment bags and avoid plastic which can trap moisture.
9. Hardware care: Dry hardware after washing to prevent tarnish; avoid high heat directly on snaps/buttons.

Style tips

• Casual everyday: Wear open over a basic tee or henley with slim jeans and sneakers. Roll the sleeves for a relaxed vibe.
• Layered warmth: Use as a mid-layer over a hoodie or thin knit, then top with a longer coat when it’s cold.
• Smart-casual: Button up over a fitted turtleneck and pair with chinos or tailored trousers and Chelsea boots.
• Dress it up: Belt the shacket at the waist over a fitted dress to create shape and add boots or heeled ankle boots.
• Color coordination: Pick one color from the plaid and match your base pieces to it (e.g., navy tee, tan boots) for a cohesive outfit.
• Texture play: Contrast the brushed plaid with smooth denim or leather for visual interest.
• Fit choice: Size down for a shirt-like fit, choose your usual size for a relaxed shacket fit, or size up to wear over thicker layers.
• Accessories: Scarves, beanies and layered necklaces work well; avoid bulky shoulder bags that can distort the shacket’s shape.
