Product Insights
The Striped-Trim Jersey Polo by Michael Kors, priced at 110 CAD, is a Simons-exclusive regular-fit polo with lightweight stretch jersey that offers 30-40% natural stretch and a soft, t-shirt-like drape. Its ribbed collar and cuffs maintain shape, and the embroidered logo resists cracking, peeling, and fading. The main tradeoff is that careful maintenance is required—cold wash and air dry prevent up to 5% shrinkage and minimize pilling—and while the jersey shows sweat as dark patches, lighter colors like Sand and Slate Blue reduce visibility. Breathable and fast-drying, it balances flexible comfort with upkeep demands.

Deep Research
How cotton jersey feels compared to pique
- With 30–40% natural stretch — roughly double the 15–25% of piqué — this cotton jersey polo allows unrestricted arm and shoulder movement, making it feel forgiving through a long day whether you’re driving, carrying bags, or reaching overhead.
- At 150–190 GSM, this jersey polo is about 25–30% lighter than the 200–260 GSM standard for piqué, giving it a noticeably lighter, more breathable feel that suits warm weather and easy layering.
- Since jersey naturally lacks the collar stiffness of piqué, this polo incorporates contrast ribbed edging at the collar and cuffs — a functional detail designed to reinforce the structure and prevent the collar from curling, preserving a neat appearance over time.
- Because the flat jersey knit reflects light evenly, any dampness creates a high-contrast dark patch that reads as a visible sweat mark — opting for the Sand or Slate Blue colorways, rather than Black, minimizes this contrast and keeps the shirt looking cleaner on humid days.
- Jersey is the same single-knit construction used in quality t-shirts, giving the polo a smooth face and fluid drape that feels softer and less structured than the raised honeycomb of a piqué polo — so it reads as a relaxed, t-shirt-like layer with a collar, not a crisp uniform piece.
How this polo holds up over time
- The striped ribbed trim at the collar and cuffs provides natural elasticity that helps those high-contact zones recover their shape after stretching, reducing the bacon-collar effect that plagues flat-knit polos over time.
- Because the chest branding is embroidered into the fabric rather than applied by heat transfer or screen print, it won't crack, peel, or fade with washing — the logo remains crisp for the life of the shirt.
Value relative to other Michael Kors polos
- Selling under the 'Michael Kors at Le 31' banner at Simons — a department known for a curated, fashion-forward edit — positions this polo as a more selective, market-specific piece compared to the widely distributed Greenwich line, implying a design choice that's been filtered through a contemporary Canadian lens.

Q&A
4 answered- How does the sizing run—slim, regular, or relaxed? I'm between sizes.
- This polo has a classic, regular fit that runs true to size. If you're between sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller size for a trimmer look or the larger for a more relaxed feel — Michael Kors polos in similar styles typically fit true to size with a classic cut [1].
- Will this 100% cotton jersey polo shrink significantly after washing? If so, how much?
- As with most 100% cotton garments, this polo may shrink up to 5% or more if washed in hot water or dried on high heat [5]. To minimize shrinkage, we recommend machine washing in cold water and air drying or using the lowest heat setting [5].
- Is the fabric lightweight or more substantial? Suitable for layering or just warm weather?
- The cotton jersey fabric is lightweight and breathable — similar Michael Kors polos are described as 'smooth cotton jersey for a sleek, comfortable drape' [2] and 'soft breathable cotton' [7]. It’s ideal for warm weather on its own, but can also be layered under a light jacket or sweater.
- How does the cotton jersey hold up to pilling after multiple washes?
- 100% cotton jersey can pill over time with friction and washing, but the quality of Michael Kors construction — combined with proper care (turning inside out, cold water wash, air drying) — helps minimize pilling. The product data does not include specific pilling tests, but similar Michael Kors cotton polos maintain good appearance with normal wear.
