Product Insights
In The Shadow Long Pleated Jacket Main fabric and lining are both 100% polyester; the jacket is partially lined. Sizes 1 and 3 are sized by garment length, with only a minor change in width. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle in a laundry net with softener-free detergent. It layers over thin or mid-weight knits and soft unstructured blazers, but bulky hoodies fill out the shoulders and break the line. With only sizes 1 and 3 in Black, the buyer trades length against length, not colour or price.

- Do not leave it wet for extended periods or apply pressure to the pleats while wet.

- construction
- Notched lapel, tone-on-tone buttons, side slit pockets, buttoned cuffs and a long back slit.
