Can you provide the exact chest and waist measurements for each size of the Stockholm slim fit, and how does the fit compare to other brands' slim fit jackets?

Exact chest and waist measurements per size aren't published, but suit jacket sizing typically aligns with chest measurement (e.g., size 40 = 40" chest). This Stockholm slim fit has a 7" drop, meaning the waist is 7" smaller than the chest. Compared to other brands, it's similar to Suitsupply's Milano or Havana tailored fit (slim chest and waist), and more fitted than H&M's Slim Fit blazer which offers slightly more room.

What is the percentage of stretch in the fabric? Is it due to elastane content or the weave construction?

The exact percentage of stretch isn't specified, and the fabric composition lists only responsible wool and polyester (from recycled bottles) without mentioning elastane. This suggests the stretch likely comes from the weave construction (a stretch weave) rather than added elastane fibers.

What are the recommended care instructions? Is it dry clean only, and can it be steamed at home?

We recommend professional dry cleaning only, as is standard for wool-blend suit jackets. You can steam the jacket at home to refresh it between wears, but avoid machine washing, bleaching, or tumble drying.

Product Insights

The Le 31 Stretch Responsible Wool Suit Jacket in Stockholm Fit - Slim offers a tailored silhouette akin to Suitsupply's Milano/Havana fits, featuring mechanical stretch from weave geometry for 10–18% elongation and a crisp wool hand. Its recycled plastic bottle lining saves 59% energy and 71% CO₂ while resisting wrinkling, shrinking, and stretching, lasting 8–15 years. The jacket retains shape after wear and dry cleaning, and its breathable shell and moisture-wicking lining maintain a dry microclimate. Priced at $350 CAD, it undercuts comparable options like Tiger of Sweden's Justin and its own $395 variant at a $250 sale price, delivering European-milled responsible wool and full recycled-polyester lining surpassing competitors.

Verified claims

Deep Research

Price and value against comparable slim wool jackets

The shell is cut from a European-milled responsible wool blend, a provenance detail typically found on jackets above $500 — its inclusion here at $250–$350 signals Le 31 prioritized fabric origin over margin, a key differentiator in the sub-$400 slim-wool segment.
Within the Le 31 Stockholm-fit family, this responsible wool jacket at $350 regular price is the financial entry point: the identical silhouette in a Marzotto wool weave costs $395, and a similar slim-cut in a recycled-polyester suit runs $375, so this variant is the lowest-cost ticket to the brand's tailored recycled-wool system.
Both the outer shell and the full satiny lining are made from recycled plastic bottles, so the sustainability story runs continuously through the jacket — in contrast to many wool-blend jackets at this price that limit recycled content to the face fabric and use conventional linings.
Le 31 is Simons' in-house label designed in Canada, so the Stockholm fit is calibrated for North American sizing while leveraging European-milled responsible wool — a hybrid value that sidesteps the fit-compromise often encountered with imported European slim cuts.
At $250 on sale, the Stockholm jacket goes head-to-head with Tiger of Sweden's Justin at $265, yet it replaces the Justin's half-lining and patch pockets with a full satiny recycled-polyester lining and side vents — delivering a more finished interior at an identical price tier.

How the jacket stretches without elastane

Without an internal elastic fiber to fatigue, the jacket resists the bagged-out look that elastane-blend suits can develop at the elbows and back, returning more reliably to its original silhouette after each wear.
Mechanical stretch wovens typically deliver 10–18% elongation — moderate compared to elastane blends — which is enough for the dynamic movements of a tailored jacket (reaching, bending) without introducing excessive flex that could distort the garment’s lines over time.
Because the stretch is structural — housed in the yarn geometry rather than a vulnerable synthetic fiber — it withstands the heat and solvents of professional dry cleaning far better than elastane, so the jacket’s mobility and shape recoverability won’t degrade over multiple cleaning cycles.
Mechanical stretch, built on a wool-polyester base, typically breathes better and maintains a natural woven hand feel compared to elastane blends, which can trap heat and feel synthetic — a difference that matters for comfort during long days in a fitted jacket.
The jacket’s stretch is engineered into the weave — using high-twist yarns and a floating weave structure — rather than added elastane, which helps the fabric maintain the crisp, refined hand of a tailored woven instead of the synthetic feel common to elastane blends.

Recycled polyester lining vs traditional linings

Compared to virgin polyester production, manufacturing this lining’s recycled fibers consumes 59% less energy and emits 71% fewer CO₂ emissions per ton, so the jacket’s sustainability story is backed by measurable upstream reductions rather than vague eco-claims.
rPET’s dimensional stability results in a 1–3% shrinkage rate after repeated dry cleaning, so the lining holds its shape inside the jacket and does not pucker or distort the slim Stockholm fit over multiple seasons.
The lining fabric is spun from recycled polyester derived from post-consumer plastic bottles — roughly 60 per kilogram of fiber — so the jacket's interior directly displaces virgin petroleum-based polyester and diverts waste from landfills, all while delivering identical durability and wrinkle resistance.
Polyester’s inherent wrinkle resistance means the lining stays smooth and flat even after a long day of sitting, and unlike viscose, which can be prone to shrinkage and pilling if not properly treated, this recycled polyester requires no special handling — the jacket can be professionally dry cleaned as needed without loss of shape or crispness.
With a moisture absorption rate of just 0.4%, the recycled polyester lining does not soak up perspiration — moisture instead dries rapidly from the fabric surface, keeping the jacket interior feeling dry through a warm commute or a long day at the desk, in contrast to viscose linings that can absorb up to 12% of their weight in water and may feel damp.
Where viscose linings typically last 5–10 years with careful maintenance, polyester linings are rated for 8–15 years of service with much lower care demands — so this recycled polyester lining extends the jacket’s usable life, reducing the need for replacement and its associated environmental cost.

Can you provide the exact chest and waist measurements for each size of the Stockholm slim fit, and how does the fit compare to other brands' slim fit jackets?: Exact chest and waist measurements per size aren't published, but suit jacket sizing typically aligns with chest measurement (e.g., size 40 = 40" chest). This Stockholm slim fit has a 7" drop, meaning the waist is 7" smaller than the chest [2]. Compared to other brands, it's similar to Suitsupply's Milano or Havana tailored fit (slim chest and waist) [14], and more fitted than H&M's Slim Fit blazer which offers slightly more room [4].
What is the percentage of stretch in the fabric?
