While I don't consider flowers to be strictly feminine, I mention this as a "women's" garment because the shape has some slight female tailoring -- just an FYI to any dudes, etc who may be checking this out -- we're about that #totemicdenimforthegenderspectrum life. This is a well constructed, modern manufactured classic Levi's (!!) jean jacket purchased secondhand in great condition from a locally based small business in San Francisco—supporting both the economic and ecological climates on our planet!
Hand washing is suggested for maximum longevity; may be dry cleaned as well. This garment is 100% cotton and stitched quite durably, and with the right care should last to be a funky heirloom! I find that certain parts of jean jackets (cuffs, collars, etc) tend to get dirty first, so my suggestion is to spot wash as needed for optimum lifespan.
