Description
Maidy is a semi-fitted bomber jacket with a boxy silhouette and extended shoulders. It features front and back yokes with princess seams for a structured look. The right-hand front includes a welt pocket within the princess seam, while the left-hand front has a chest zip pocket for added functionality. The stand collar and the bottom edges of the jacket and sleeves are finished with ribbing. The two-piece, long set-in sleeves add a tailored touch. Fully lined and secured with a separating zipper, Maidy sits just below the waist for a modern fit.
