Yes, linen jackets develop natural creases with wear. This is expected and part of what gives linen outerwear its relaxed elegance. For a smoother look, hang your jacket on a broad hanger after wearing and use a steamer before your next wear. Avoid folding for storage.
A linen jacket works well as a layering piece in autumn and mild winter days. It's not a substitute for a heavy winter coat, but layered over a wool sweater, it extends well into cooler weather. Think of it as a spring/autumn jacket and a versatile transitional piece.
Most linen jackets can be machine washed at 30\u00b0C on a gentle cycle. Check for any non-linen lining or hardware that might require special care. Air dry on a broad hanger to maintain shape. Dry cleaning is optional but unnecessary for pure linen. Our linen outerwear is designed for easy care.
A linen jacket looks best with a relaxed, slightly oversized fit \u2014 snug enough to look intentional, loose enough for comfortable layering. You should be able to comfortably wear a light knit or shirt underneath. Avoid very tight fits \u2014 linen doesn't have stretch and will crease more at pressure points.
