Product Insights
This espresso houndstooth blazer from Le 31 delivers a warm-weather alternative to traditional wool, using Fitecom's Portuguese linen-blend weave that resists creasing while keeping the pattern crisp. The London semi-slim fit ensures consistent sizing, and construction details like side vents and partial lining improve comfort and breathability. At $495 CAD, it offers material and build quality typically found in pricier jackets, pairing with grey trousers or dark denim for smart-casual to more formal occasions. The main tradeoff is its lighter, more breathable weave, which sacrifices some formality for warm-weather wearability.

- Build quality and features

- Styling
- Pairs with grey trousers for work or dark denim with suede shoes for weekends.
- Seasonality

- Fit comparison
- The London fit is a semi-slim cut that narrows at the waist while keeping regular sleeves, sitting between a straight regular cut and a more tapered slim fit.
- Care instructions
- Dry cleaning is recommended; the product details do not list specific care instructions. If pressing is needed, use medium heat with moisture, press inside out through a cloth, and set the shape on a padded hanger while warm.
- Lining coverage
- The partial lining runs to just below the armholes, backing the upper back and shoulders while leaving the lower back, front panels, and sleeves unlined for airflow and ease of movement.
- Style
- The blazer is classic, tailored, and smart-casual: the houndstooth is a classic pattern, the piped-flap and side-vent construction puts it on a tailoring block, and the linen-blend weave supports smart-casual warm-weather wear.
- Size and length
- This blazer is cut only in regular body length (sizes 38 to 48 REG), while Le 31's London suiting also runs in short and long; buyers who normally take a short or long will need sleeve and hem alterations.
