Product Insights

The Heritage Houndstooth Jacket by Le 31 is a structured, exclusively Canadian design backed by 180-year Simons heritage, woven with a true houndstooth pattern rooted in history. Its 65% cotton, 35% polyester blend dries 45% faster than pure cotton and provides a structured drape without stiffness. A metal two-way zipper creates an inverted-V opening to frame underlayers, and unzipping the bottom prevents hem ride-up when seated and vents heat while keeping the chest covered. Sized to standard men's sizing with a satiny lining that layers smoothly, this jacket is ideal for Canadian fall and early spring.

Verified claims

Pattern
The all-over houndstooth is woven into the fabric in a small-scale check, not printed.
Heritage
Houndstooth's heritage spans Scottish shepherds, Chanel, Dior, and King Edward VIII.
Etymology
Houndstooth is named for its jagged pattern resembling a dog's teeth.
Styling
Two-way zipper creates an inverted-V opening to frame an underlayer.
Seated comfort
Unzipping the bottom prevents the hem from riding up when sitting.
Ventilation
Opening the bottom zipper vents heat while keeping the chest covered.
Durability
Metal two-way zipper distributes wear across two sliders for durability.
Collar
The contrasting corduroy point collar should be kept away from direct heat, brushed along the wale, and stored with collar support to preserve its ridged texture.
Drying
The polyester content helps the jacket dry up to 45% faster than pure cotton.
Drape
Structured drape holds shape without stiffness.
Design origin
Exclusive Le 31 design from Canada, backed by 180-year Simons heritage.
Sizing
Le 31 sizes generally align with standard men's sizing; the Heritage Houndstooth Jacket has a loose, hip-length bomber fit, so checking flat measurements or trying it on is best if you are between sizes.
Seasonal suitability
Best for mild to cool fall and early spring; the cotton-polyester blend and two-way zipper provide adaptive comfort, but it is not heavily insulated for deep winter.
Zipper
The metallic two-way front zipper unzips from the bottom for layering, seated comfort, and venting without removing the jacket.
Material
65% cotton, 35% polyester blend gives structured hand and dries 45% faster than pure cotton.
Seasonal range
Ideal for fall and early spring; the satiny lining and elastic edging at the hem and cuffs add comfort without excessive bulk.
Care
Machine wash this jacket in cold water, use no bleach, and do not tumble dry; lay it flat to dry to protect the cotton-polyester shell and satiny lining.
Pilling resistance
The polyester content reduces surface pilling, so the houndstooth weave stays unobscured and the jacket looks neat longer.
Abrasion durability
The cotton-polyester shell resists fraying at the cuffs and elbows through everyday friction.
Lining
The satin-faced lining is low-friction, so the jacket slides over a shirt or sweater instead of gripping and bunching; it adds no thermal loft of its own.
Collar warmth
When fully zipped, the corduroy collar traps a thin layer of warm air at the neck, adding subtle insulation over an unlined collar in windy autumn conditions.
Stretch
The shell is 65% cotton and 35% polyester with no elastane; any stretch in the jacket comes from the elastic edging at the hem and cuffs, not from the woven fabric itself.
