FAQs
Is the Louis Shirt Jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend washing it in cold water and hanging it to dry to preserve the fabric's structure.
Does this jacket shrink after washing?
Because it is made from heavyweight polycotton denim, it is designed to resist significant shrinkage, but always avoid high-heat tumble drying.
Is this a warm jacket?
It provides a moderate level of warmth, making it ideal as a mid-layer or an outer layer for transitional weather.
How should I choose the right size?
The jacket follows standard sizing. If you prefer a loose fit for heavy layering, consider your standard size, but expect it to have a tailored, structured look.
Where is the branding located?
The signature woven Carhartt WIP Square Label is located on the left chest pocket.
Troubleshooting
The fabric feels too stiff or uncomfortable when new.
This is characteristic of heavyweight denim. Wear the jacket regularly to allow your body heat and movement to naturally break in and soften the fabric fibers.
Buttons are difficult to fasten.
New, high-density buttonholes can be snug initially. Simply work the buttons in and out of the holes a few times while the jacket is off to loosen them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Carhartt WIP Louis Shirt Jacket remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Care Instructions: Turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the denim finish. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. For the best results, hang dry to prevent excessive shrinking and to maintain the integrity of the fabric's shape.
- Compatibility: The jacket features a versatile silhouette that fits well over regular-fit t-shirts or thin knitwear. If you plan to layer it over thick, oversized sweatshirts, you may find the fit to be slightly snug given the rigid nature of the denim.
- Storage: Store on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and collar, preventing unwanted creasing in the heavy fabric.
