Essential Jacket — Denim and Flower
Our Essential Jacket is the cornerstone of the Denim and Flower outerwear line — a timeless silhouette crafted from premium stretch denim that moves with you throughout the day. We designed this piece for effortless layering, whether you’re heading to brunch or out for an evening walk.
The jacket features a tailored fit through the shoulders and waist with a slightly relaxed sleeve, creating a flattering shape that works across seasons. Classic brass hardware and tonal stitching add refined details without overwhelming the clean lines. We’ve added interior pockets and a breathable cotton lining to ensure this becomes your reach-for-every-day piece.
Fabric & construction details
Fabric & Construction
We source our denim from a mill known for creating fabric that softens beautifully with every wear while maintaining its structure. The 10.5 oz weight strikes the perfect balance — substantial enough to hold its shape, light enough to wear comfortably across three seasons.
The 2% elastane provides just enough stretch for comfort without compromising the authentic denim hand feel. Every seam is double-stitched and bartacked at stress points, and we finish each jacket with a pre-wash treatment that prevents shrinkage. The brass hardware is coated to resist tarnishing, so your jacket maintains its polished look wear after wear.
Sizing & Fit
The Essential Jacket runs true to our standard Denim and Flower sizing with a tailored fit through the body. We recommend ordering your usual size for a fitted look that allows room for a lightweight sweater underneath.
For those who prefer layering over chunky knits, sizing up one size will provide additional room through the chest and arms. The jacket length hits at the hip on most body types — about 23 inches from the highest point of the shoulder for a size Medium. Our fit model wears a size Small and is 5’7″ with a 34″ bust and 27″ waist.
Care Instructions
We recommend washing your Denim and Flower Essential Jacket inside out in cold water with like colors to preserve the indigo dye. Machine wash on a gentle cycle or hand wash for extended garment life.
Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry — the cotton lining dries quickly. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents, as these can fade the denim prematurely and weaken the fibers. If needed, steam or press on medium heat while the fabric is slightly damp. The denim will develop a beautiful lived-in patina over time, and we encourage you to embrace the natural fading process as part of the jacket’s character.

Essential Jacket Questions
No, the Essential Jacket is pre-washed during manufacturing to prevent shrinkage. We treat the denim with a stabilizing process so it maintains its size and shape after washing. If you follow our care instructions — cold water wash and tumble dry low or air dry — you won’t experience any significant shrinkage.
Some customers prefer to air dry the jacket to preserve the fabric’s integrity over time, but machine drying on low heat is perfectly safe for regular care.
Our Essential Jacket has a tailored fit through the body with a slightly relaxed sleeve, which sets it apart from oversized boyfriend-style denim jackets. The shoulders are fitted without being restrictive, and the waist is gently shaped for a feminine silhouette.
If you typically wear boxy or oversized denim jackets, you may want to size up for a similar fit. Most customers find the jacket runs true to size when they want a polished, tailored look with room for lightweight layering underneath.
Yes, the Essential Jacket works beautifully as a layering piece in cooler weather. The 10.5 oz denim provides warmth for crisp fall days, and the cotton lining adds an extra layer of insulation. Many of our customers wear it under wool coats or over chunky sweaters throughout autumn and early winter.
For very cold climates, we recommend layering the jacket as a mid-layer rather than your outermost piece. The stretch denim allows for comfortable movement even when worn under heavier outerwear.
Classic Indigo is our traditional blue denim shade with authentic indigo dye — it will develop natural fading and whiskering over time for a vintage look. Washed Black is a true black denim that has been garment-dyed for a softer, slightly faded appearance from the start.
Both colors use the same premium stretch denim fabric and construction. Classic Indigo pairs well with lighter neutrals and creates that iconic denim aesthetic, while Washed Black offers a sleeker, more modern look that works particularly well in professional settings.
The Essential Jacket features a fixed silhouette without adjustable tabs or drawstrings, which contributes to its clean, minimalist design. The tailored cut naturally creates shape without requiring adjustments.
The brass button closure allows you to wear the jacket open or closed depending on your preference. Some customers like to roll the cuffs for a more casual look, and the sturdy denim holds the roll well throughout the day.
We recommend storing your Denim and Flower Essential Jacket in the included dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Hang it on a sturdy wooden or padded hanger to maintain the shoulder shape — avoid wire hangers that can create creases.
Before storing, make sure the jacket is clean and completely dry. You can add a sachet of lavender or cedar to the dust bag to keep the jacket fresh. Avoid storing denim in plastic bags, as natural fibers need to breathe to prevent moisture buildup and musty odors.
