FAQs

Is this jacket water-resistant?

While the polyester construction offers some protection against light elements, it is not explicitly marketed as waterproof.

Can I put this in the dryer?

Yes, but tumble dry on low heat. Air drying is always preferred to preserve the garment's integrity and shape.

Does this jacket run true to size?

The Louis Shirt Jacket is designed with a classic, structured fit. If you plan to layer it over thick sweaters, you may want to consider your layering needs.

Will the black color fade?

To minimize fading, wash the jacket inside out in cold water and avoid direct sunlight when drying.

What is the primary material?

This specific version of the Louis Shirt Jacket is constructed from a heavyweight polyester blend.

Troubleshooting

The jacket feels too stiff when first worn

This is normal for the heavyweight material. Wear it regularly to allow the fabric to soften, or wash it once according to care instructions to help break in the fibers.

Difficulty buttoning the front

The buttonholes are reinforced for durability and may be tight initially. With use, the fabric around the buttonholes will relax, making the buttons easier to fasten.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Material is rigid and may feel stiff upon initial wear
  • Limited stretch compared to casual cotton shirts
  • Specific care required to maintain the fabric integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Carhartt WIP Louis Shirt Jacket lasts, follow these care guidelines. Always check the internal garment tag for specific temperature settings. Generally, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with similar colors to prevent fading of the deep black pigment. Avoid using bleach, which can degrade the polyester fibers. For drying, it is recommended to air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting to prevent shrinking or damage to the fabric's structure. Given its structured design, hang it on a sturdy hanger when not in use to preserve the collar and shoulder shape.
