Product Insights
The Summer Embroidery Piqué Polo is an out-of-stock men's essential from Le 31, a Simons label referencing the 1840 shop at 31 rue Saint-Jean, designed in Montreal for Canadian summers. Its breathable, honeycomb piqué knit from long-fiber organic cotton with 5% spandex reduces skin contact for a breezy feel in humidity, speeds evaporation, and provides softness and stretch. Two-button placket traced to René Lacoste's 1927 tennis design opens to a lower V-neck. Ribbed knit collar and cuffs resist curling after washing, while striped trim adds vintage athletic styling suitable with chinos or blazers. Direct-stitch embroidery won't crack like heat-transfer prints, though thread may fade with washing. The 95% organic cotton/spandex fabric shrinks an estimated 3-5% lengthwise on warm wash; cold washing and air drying preserve fit. Priced at 59 CAD, this polo offers a feature set—stretch, organic piqué, direct embroidery, durable trims—typically found at 4-6 times higher, representing an 83% discount to 9.99 CAD. However, buyers must accept potential shrinkage and minimal color fading over time.

- Organic cotton fibers are longer and less damaged, making the fabric softer than conventional piqué.
- Summer comfort
- Piqué knit with organic cotton stays cooler and drier than jersey cotton in warm weather.
