Frequently Asked Questions

What fabric works for a crop jacket?

Medium-weight wovens with body work best - denim, twill, canvas, or wool melton. A lining fabric is recommended for a clean interior finish.

Where does the crop length hit?

The jacket is drafted to sit at or just above the natural waist. Your torso length measurement determines the exact placement.
