A cropped brown denim jacket with a collared V-neck and short sleeves — 18 inches long on a size Small, in 98% cotton.
Highlights
✓98% cotton with 2% spandex — a denim that holds its structure across the shoulders with just enough stretch to reach for something without the whole jacket pulling.
✓18 inches long on a size Small — it ends around the high waist, so it sits over high-rise trousers, a skirt or a dress rather than covering them up.
✓Collared V-neckline — the open V lengthens the neck and leaves room for a necklace, which a jacket buttoned to the throat does not.
✓Short sleeves — this is a warm-weather layer rather than cold-weather cover — over a slip dress at dinner, or over a tee on a Saturday.
✓Wash cool and hang to dry — a 98% cotton denim shrinks in a hot wash, and a cropped jacket is unforgiving about losing length at the hem.
A short-sleeved denim jacket does a job a long-sleeved one cannot: it adds structure to a summer outfit without adding heat. The collar and the button front keep it looking tailored, and the brown reads warmer and less literal than indigo does.
It sets with the matching Cowgirl After Dark wide-leg pants in the same brown. More in women’s coats and jackets and the Flying Tomato range.
