Washed PU Jacket: Compare the Cotton-Filling Options and Fit

Compare this washed PU jacket’s plain and cotton-filling options, then use its M–2XL chest, shoulder, sleeve and length chart to check layering room.

The Retro Washed PU Leather Jacket has an unusual choice inside its color selector. Alongside Black, Apricot and Purple, the live page lists Black /cotton filling and Purple /cotton filling. Those are five selectable labels, not five documented fabric tests. Before picking a size, decide which version you are comparing: a plain-color option or an option explicitly labeled with filling.

Choose the option, then ask what the filling changes

If you want the visual shape shown in the Black gallery, start with the matching Black option and check the selected thumbnail. If you want the Black /cotton filling label, ask MAXCT for a photo of the inside, the fill label and the closed jacket on a person or mannequin. Ask where filling is placed—in the body, sleeves or both—and whether the fill changes the jacket’s inside room. The source does not give a separate filled-version chart, fill weight or temperature rating. The word “cotton” in an option label does not establish the percentage or prove the jacket is suitable for a particular climate. Purple also has a filling label; Apricot does not have one in the live selector.

Compare your actual layering jacket with the M–2XL rows

The single source chart lists shoulder, chest, sleeve and length in centimetres. M is 59/128/59/62; L is 60/132/60/64; XL is 61/136/61/66; 2XL is 62/140/62/68. The shoulder and sleeve figures rise 1 cm per step, while chest rises 4 cm and length 2 cm. A larger label therefore buys more chest room than extra sleeve reach. The source says measurements are taken flat, but does not explain whether its chest numbers are a full circumference or a doubled flat width. Ask for that convention before comparing it with your body.

For a practical check, zip a jacket you already wear over the thickest layer you plan to use. Measure its shoulder, chest, sleeve and back length at the same points shown in the listing; record where you placed the tape. Suppose your reference jacket measures 132 cm around the chest and 64 cm from shoulder to hem. Those figures match the listed L chest and length numerically, but they are a starting comparison only. The reference may be cut differently, and the filled version may occupy more internal space. Request finished measurements for the exact color/filling and size combination you plan to select.

Check what the photographs can and cannot confirm

The Black gallery shows a roomy-looking silhouette, front zip and several front pockets. It cannot reveal fill placement, pocket depth, lining or the hand feel of the PU surface. Use the color photographs to inspect the visible wash and pocket layout, then ask for an inside photo and close-ups of seams, zipper and cuffs. If you need the unfilled Apricot color, select Apricot specifically; do not infer an Apricot filling version from the Black and Purple labels. This sequence lets you compare the correct option and size without turning an unverified filling claim into a warmth promise.
