That's "strait jacket".

I don't mean to nitpick, I just see that error all the time. Strait as in narrow, constraining, confining, is an instrument of restraint ; straight as in up and down would be something else entirely. You can even hyphenate it into "strait-jacket", since it functions as one word.
