Jacket details & construction
Fabric & Construction Details
Every Karen Scott jacket starts with quality fabrics selected for durability and comfort. Our cotton-blend styles incorporate just enough stretch to move naturally with your body, while our fleece construction uses anti-pill finishes that maintain a fresh appearance wash after wash.
We reinforce high-stress areas like pocket openings and zipper plackets with double stitching. Ribbed cuffs and hems are designed to maintain their shape even after repeated wear and laundering. The result is outerwear that holds up to real life—from daily commutes to weekend getaways.
Sizing & Fit Guide
Our jackets are designed with a relaxed fit that allows room for layering without looking oversized. Most styles run true to size, with enough ease through the shoulders and bust to wear comfortably over sweaters or long-sleeve tees.
Petite & Plus Options
Many of our jacket styles are available in petite sizing, with adjusted sleeve lengths and shorter overall body length. Plus sizes feature proportional adjustments through the bust, waist, and hip to maintain the intended silhouette. We recommend checking individual product measurements if you’re between sizes or prefer a more fitted look.
Care & Maintenance
All Karen Scott jackets are machine washable, making them practical choices for everyday wear. We recommend washing in cold water on a gentle cycle and tumbling dry on low heat. Remove promptly from the dryer to minimize wrinkles.
For quilted and water-resistant styles, avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce the effectiveness of water-repellent finishes. Zip all closures before washing to prevent snagging. If a fleece jacket begins to show pilling after extended wear, use a fabric shaver to restore the smooth surface.

Our jacket collection features a variety of quality fabrics selected for their durability and comfort.

The cotton zip-front jacket and denim jacket are excellent layering pieces for mild weather, as their medium weight works well over tees and light sweaters. For colder conditions, the fleece zip jacket provides warmth without bulk and can be worn under heavier coats. The quilted snap-front jacket offers the most versatility, functioning as both an outer layer in moderate weather and a mid-layer when temperatures drop significantly.
Yes, many of our jacket styles are available in petite sizing. Petite versions feature adjusted sleeve lengths and shorter overall body length to provide better proportions for smaller frames. These adjustments ensure that cuffs hit at the wrist and hem lengths fall at the intended point on your body. Check individual product pages for petite availability in your preferred style and color.
Our fleece jackets feature anti-pill finishes that resist fabric pilling with normal wear and care. To maintain this finish, wash your fleece jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid washing with items that have hooks, zippers, or Velcro that could snag the fabric. If minor pilling does occur after extended wear, use a fabric shaver to gently remove pills and restore the smooth surface.
