What difference does the adjustable strap at the hem make when wearing it?
This question is asked because, after seeing only the item "adjustable hem strap" in the detailed description, it is difficult to picture what it actually changes when wearing the garment.
There is an adjustable strap at the hem, allowing you to tighten or loosen the hem circumference to change how closely it fits against the body.
An adjustable strap refers to a string or band designed to tighten and loosen the hem circumference. This jacket has that strap at the hem[1].
When tightened, the hem gathers below the waist, narrowing the width, and when loosened, it hangs straight down for a relaxed fit. For windbreakers with thin outer fabrics and a roomy fit, leaving the hem open makes it easy for air to enter from below, and tightening the hem is the simplest way to narrow that passage.
When tightened, the outer fabric sits that much closer to the body. The lining of this garment is finished with mesh[2]. Because mesh is an openly woven fabric with visible holes, it creates a thin layer between the outer fabric and the skin, reducing the feeling of the clothing clinging directly to bare skin.
hmmm, regardless of size selection, the hem strap acts as a control that separately alters only the bottom width of the garment, functioning closer to a feature that allows a single piece to be worn in two different silhouettes.
How the strap is fastened (whether with a stopper or velcro) has not yet been confirmed.
