Pearl Trim Raw Hem Denim Jacket | Black / S 100100817161779

Overview

A modern reinterpretation of the classic jean jacket: pearl-trim detailing raises the polish, while a deliberately unfinished raw hem keeps the look fresh and relaxed. Lightweight and soft to the touch, this jacket delivers a feminine-meets-casual statement piece that layers easily over tees, dresses or thin knits.

Fabric & Materials — what to know

The outer fabric is a denim-inspired, plant-derived cellulosic fiber that offers a soft hand and fluid drape rather than the rigid structure of traditional cotton denim. A small synthetic component is blended in to improve dimensional stability and reduce wrinkling. The pearl accents are decorative trim pieces secured to the jacket—crafted to look like classic pearls and to add a subtle reflective detail along collars and edges.

Fabric advantages — pros & cons

• Pros
  • Soft, comfortable feel with a drapey silhouette that flatters many body shapes.
  • Lightweight — great for layering without bulk.
  • Good color depth and a slightly dressier finish thanks to the pearl trim.
  • The small synthetic content helps the jacket keep its shape and resist excessive wrinkling.
• Cons
  • Not as abrasion-resistant as classic cotton denim — it won’t take the same heavy wear-and-tear.
  • Cellulosic fibers can be prone to wrinkling and may require gentle care to avoid shrinkage.
  • Pearl trim is decorative and delicate — it can snag or loosen if handled roughly or washed aggressively.
  • The raw hem can continue to fray over time if exposed to excessive abrasion.

How to measure this jacket (product measurements, flat)

1. Lay the jacket flat on a smooth surface and fasten the front buttons. Smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
2. Bust/chest (product): measure straight across from one underarm seam to the opposite underarm seam, then multiply that number by two to get the full chest measurement.
3. Shoulder width: measure across the back from seam to seam at the top of the shoulders.
4. Top length: measure from the high point of the shoulder (next to the collar) straight down to the bottom edge of the hem.
5. Sleeve length: measure from the outer shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For a center-back sleeve length, measure from the center back neck to the wrist.
6. Always measure with the garment buttoned and lying flat for consistent comparisons.

How to measure yourself to choose the right size

1. Wear a thin, close-fitting top when measuring.
2. Bust/chest (body): wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor and snug but not tight.
3. Shoulder width: measure across your back from shoulder bone to shoulder bone.
4. Sleeve length: measure from the shoulder bone down to your wrist with your elbow slightly bent.
5. Back length: measure from the base of your neck (center back) down to where you want the jacket to sit.
6. Compare your body measurements to the product (flat) measurements. Because the fabric has little mechanical stretch, add recommended ease for comfortable layering: about 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) for a fitted look, 3–4 inches (7.5–10 cm) for light layering, and more if you want to wear thick sweaters underneath.
7. Conversion: multiply inches by 2.54 to get centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm).

Model & fit reference

E‑commerce imagery usually shows a sample worn on a model whose height and sample size are provided in the product gallery. Use those reference details (when shown) along with the product measurements to understand how the jacket will sit on your body. Because this fabric does not stretch much, the pictured fit is a reliable indicator of the finished silhouette — if you prefer a relaxed or layered look, choose the larger size.

Color notes & how to combine this jacket

The pearl trim introduces a luminous contrast that pairs beautifully with neutrals and pastels — think white tees, cream knits, blush tones, or soft-sage blouses. For a modern monochrome, layer it over darker bottoms (black or deep indigo) and let the pearls act as subtle jewelry. For casual pairings try a fitted tee, high-waisted jeans (a contrasting wash to avoid “matchy” denim-on-denim), and white sneakers. Dress it up with a satin slip dress or tailored trousers and low-heel mules for a polished weekend look.

Style & silhouette

The design balances two trends: the delicate femininity of pearl embellishment and the undone edge of a raw hem. Expect a slightly boxy, modern jacket that finishes around the hip area — an ideal length for high-rise jeans, skirts and midi dresses. Functional details such as a button-front and pockets keep it practical for everyday wear.

Season suitability

Best for transitional weather: spring and early fall are prime seasons. It also works well on cool summer evenings or indoors year-round as a layering piece under heavier coats during winter. Because the fabric is lightweight, it’s not intended as primary cold‑weather outerwear.

Fit notes

• Non-stretch fabric: choose your size based on actual chest and shoulder measurements rather than assumed stretch.
• If you plan to layer a thick sweater, size up to allow comfortable movement through the shoulders and bust.
• The jacket’s boxy cut looks intentional when worn slightly oversized — if you prefer a tailored silhouette, select the size closest to your measured chest with minimal added ease.

Care tips

• Turn the jacket inside out before washing to protect pearls and surface finish.
• Use a laundry bag when machine washing on a gentle cycle, or hand wash for extra care.
• Cold water and a mild detergent preserve color and reduce shrinkage risk.
• Avoid high-heat drying; air drying flat or on a hanger keeps the raw hem and trim in better shape.
• Clean small stains promptly and spot-clean near trims to avoid soaking the embellishments.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Pre-wear check: examine all pearl trim for secure attachment; clip loose threads and gently press them flat.
2. Machine washing (if you choose machine): button up, turn inside out, place in a mesh bag and select the delicate cycle with cold water.
3. Hand washing (recommended for longevity): soak briefly in cool water with a gentle detergent, gently agitate and rinse thoroughly. Do not wring; press water out with a towel.
4. Drying: reshape the jacket and hang to dry or lay flat on a towel away from direct sun to prevent color fading and reduce stress at the raw hem.
5. Ironing/steaming: use a low iron setting and protect the fabric with a pressing cloth; avoid ironing directly over pearl trim — a handheld steamer is often the safest option for removing wrinkles.
6. Storage: hang on a shaped or padded hanger to avoid shoulder distortion. Keep away from rough surfaces and avoid overcrowding to prevent pearls from rubbing.
7. Repairs: if pearls loosen, reattach using a fine needle and strong polyester thread; for excessive fraying at the hem, a tailor can add a discreet reinforcement or secure a few hidden stitches.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Is this a true cotton denim jacket?

No — it has a denim-inspired appearance but is made from a softer, cellulosic blend that feels different from traditional cotton twill denim. Expect a lighter weight and more drape.

Do the pearls come off easily?

The trim is decorative and should be handled gently. Avoid rough abrasion and high‑heat drying. If a pearl becomes loose, it can usually be re-sewn quickly.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes, on a gentle cycle and cold water with the jacket turned inside out and placed in a mesh laundry bag. For the longest life, hand washing and air drying are recommended.

Will it shrink?

Cellulosic fibers can shrink if washed or dried in hot temperatures. Use cold water, gentle cycles, and air dry or low-heat tumble if absolutely necessary.

How should I handle the raw hem if it frays more than I like?

Apply a small amount of a fabric fray-control solution to the inner edge, or ask a tailor to secure the hem with a few hidden stitches to control excessive fraying while preserving the intended look.

Can I wear this jacket in winter?

It’s best used as a layering piece in winter rather than the main cold-weather coat. Pair under a heavier wool coat when outside in very cold conditions.

Is this jacket true to size?

Because the fabric offers minimal stretch, choose your size based on measurements. If between sizes and you wear thicker sweaters, size up.

How do I remove pearls safely for cleaning or repairs?

If a pearl must be removed, do so carefully with small scissors or a seam ripper close to the stitch, then store the pearl and thread for reattachment. Have a tailor do this if you are unsure.

Will the color bleed or fade?

Like many dyed fabrics, some initial color transfer can occur. Wash with similar colors for the first few cycles and use cold water to reduce bleeding.

2. Feminine contrast: slip dress or midi skirt and ankle boots — pearls elevate the look without needing extra jewelry.
3. Smart casual: tailored trousers, lightweight blouse and loafers; keep the jacket buttoned for a neat silhouette.
4. Weekend layering: hoodie or thin knit underneath for a street-style layered look — pick a neutral hoodie to keep the pearl trim front-and-center.
