Melrose Sweater Jacket

This midweight knit coat leans into the relaxed proportions of an oversized blazer, featuring a drop-shoulder construction and deep, functional side pockets. The dense acrylic blend offers a structured, wool-like hand that holds its shape through the wide lapels and button front, making it a heavy-duty layer for transitional cooling. It functions best as a soft, unstructured alternative to a traditional wool overcoat.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: This garment is constructed from a blend of acrylic, nylon, and elastane, all of which are petroleum-derived synthetic polymers. These materials lack natural breathability and may trap heat against the skin while contributing to microplastic shedding during laundering.
