This ivory jacket reinterprets the traditional Mandarin collar with a tactile, frayed-edge texture that feels more decorative than formal. The front is held by delicate frog closures, left partially open to create a sharp, vertical negative space that breaks up the dense, fuzzy surface of the textile. It’s a study in contrasts—structured, heritage-inspired tailoring rendered in a soft, whimsical finish that sits close to the torso.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is constructed entirely from 100% polyester, a petroleum-based synthetic fiber known for low breathability and high potential for microplastic shedding. Synthetic materials of this nature can trap heat against the skin and offer no natural moisture management.
