Product Insights
The Le 31 Drawstring-Waist Chino Short offers an adjustable, relaxed fit via elastic waistband and drawstring, with stretch twill (2% spandex) providing shape retention, wrinkle recovery, and seam protection. Made with 50% organic cotton that uses up to 91% less water than conventional, it resists stains and bagging, and hides marks with its twill weave. At $29.95 CAD sale price, it undercuts alternatives from Lands' End, Organic Basics, and Gustin. The main tradeoffs: sizing down for a trimmer look, potential 3–5% shrinkage on first wash (cold wash/air dry recommended), and hidden front pockets with a single rear button pocket.
