W5454 Jacket - Black Asymmetric Double-Layer Stretch Fleece Diagonal Fabric Inserts Button Closure Women's Italian

Double-Layer Stretch Fleece. Asymmetric. Diagonal Inserts. The Jacket That Cuts Across Itself.

The W5454 is an asymmetric jacket in double-layer stretch fleece — 100% cotton — with diagonal inserts on the front and back in the same fabric, and a button closure. The diagonal inserts are the defining detail: panels of the same stretch fleece cut on the diagonal and inserted into the jacket body, creating a visual line that runs across the front and back at an angle. The double-layer construction gives the stretch fleece more body and structure than single-layer fleece. Made in Italy by LA HAINE INSIDE US.

Why This Jacket Is Different

• Diagonal Fabric Inserts: Panels of the same stretch fleece cut on the diagonal and inserted into the jacket body on both the front and back. The diagonal cut means the fabric grain runs at an angle to the jacket body — creating a visual line that cuts across the front and back, and a subtle texture difference between the insert and the body (the diagonal cut changes how the fleece surface catches light). The inserts are in the same fabric as the jacket body — the contrast is tonal and textural rather than material.
• Double-Layer Stretch Fleece: 100% cotton, doubled — two layers of stretch fleece bonded or sewn together to create a shell with more body, structure, and warmth than single-layer fleece. The double-layer construction gives the W5454 the presence of a structured jacket while maintaining the softness and stretch of fleece. The stretch content allows the double-layer fleece to move with the body without restricting movement.
• Asymmetric Construction: The jacket is cut asymmetrically — the front panels falling unevenly, the diagonal inserts amplifying the asymmetry by creating additional visual lines that run at angles across the asymmetric body.
• 100% Cotton: The stretch fleece is 100% cotton — natural, breathable, and soft against the skin. Unlike synthetic fleece, cotton fleece has a natural warmth and a softer hand that improves with washing. The cotton content makes the W5454 more breathable and comfortable to wear directly against the skin than polyester fleece.
• Button Closure: A button closure that keeps the asymmetric front panels in place when closed.
• Made in Italy: Double-layer fleece construction, diagonal insert finishing, and all construction completed in Italy under LA HAINE INSIDE US's atelier standards.

The Moment You Put It On

The double-layer stretch fleece is immediately soft and warm — the 100% cotton content natural against the skin, the doubled construction giving the jacket more body than standard fleece. The diagonal inserts are visible across the front and back: the same fleece cut on the diagonal, the fabric grain running at an angle to the jacket body, creating a subtle texture difference where the insert meets the body.

The asymmetric construction means the front panels fall unevenly; the diagonal inserts amplify the asymmetry by creating additional visual lines that cut across the jacket at angles. The button closes the front with a single, clean click. The W5454 is a jacket that cuts across itself — the diagonal inserts creating visual lines that run against the grain of the asymmetric construction.

The Art of Diagonal Inserts

A diagonal insert is a panel of fabric cut on the bias — at a 45-degree angle to the fabric grain — and inserted into a garment body cut on the straight grain. The diagonal cut changes how the fabric behaves: bias-cut fabric has more stretch and drape than straight-grain fabric, and the surface of the fabric catches light differently when cut on the diagonal. In the W5454, the diagonal inserts are cut from the same stretch fleece as the jacket body — the contrast is tonal and textural rather than material. The diagonal grain of the insert creates a subtle surface difference where the insert meets the body, and the visual line of the insert seam runs at an angle across the front and back of the jacket, creating a design element that is simultaneously structural and visual.

How to Wear It

• Button Closed: Close the button and wear the jacket as a structured, asymmetric piece — the diagonal inserts visible across the front, the double-layer fleece creating a clean, substantial silhouette.
• Button Open, Layered: Wear with button open over a fitted base layer — the asymmetric fleece panels fall open, the diagonal inserts visible on both sides.
• With Wide-Leg Trousers: Wear with wide-leg trousers — the regular-fit jacket creating a deliberate proportion with the wide-leg below, the diagonal inserts adding visual interest at the front.
• All Black: Combine with other black pieces — the diagonal inserts create tonal variation within an all-black palette, the asymmetric construction adding visual interest.

Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold, delicate cycle — the 100% cotton stretch fleece is durable and machine washable
• Tumble dry low or hang to dry — avoid high heat which can shrink the cotton content
• Iron on low heat if needed — the stretch fleece responds well to light pressing
• Do not bleach
• Store hung or flat
