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.
