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.
