FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The Louis Shirt Jacket is made of durable polyester but is not officially rated as waterproof. It is best suited for dry conditions or light mist.
Can I put this in the dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the jacket on a hanger to maintain its shape and prevent the fabric from shrinking or losing its crisp texture.
How does the sizing run?
The jacket follows standard sizing, though the material is rigid. If you plan to layer thick clothing underneath, consider your layering needs when selecting your size.
Are the chest pockets functional?
Yes, the two chest pockets are fully functional and designed to hold small everyday items.
Is this suitable for summer?
The polyester fabric is relatively substantial for a shirt-jacket, making it more appropriate for spring, autumn, or cooler summer evenings rather than high-heat days.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels too stiff during initial wear
The polyester material is designed for a rigid, structured look. It will soften slightly with regular wear and proper washing.
Stray threads appearing at stress points
Due to the heavy-duty construction, minor loose threads can be carefully trimmed with fabric scissors; ensure you do not cut into the actual bartack stitching.
Pros and Cons

- Versatile layering piece for multiple seasons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Louis Shirt Jacket in top condition, follow standard care protocols for polyester workwear. Machine wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the woven label. Always hang-dry the jacket away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from warping or losing its structured shape. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents or high-heat tumble drying, as these can compromise the reinforcement stitching. For layering, this size Small fits best over slim-to-mid-weight garments, as the rigid fabric does not have natural 'give' for very heavy, thick knit sweaters.
