Product Insights
Le 31's Striped Oxford Shirt in relaxed fit offers a versatile wardrobe staple made from 50% recycled cotton blend, with woven stripes that resist fading. The non-stretch Oxford fabric and relaxed cut ensure arm mobility and maximize airflow through 2x2 basketweave, keeping cooler than poplin, while the cotton blend wicks sweat and stays opaque when damp. It fits true to size and layers under sweaters without sizing up, but requires cold gentle wash and air-dry to protect fibers and delay pilling, a trade-off for lower per-wear environmental impact. Designed in Canada at an uncommon price point for this quality.

Deep Research
What Le 31's relaxed fit means for sizing
- Le 31 is consistently true to size across all categories, so this relaxed fit shirt will correspond directly to your usual letter size — you don't need to size up or down to achieve the intended silhouette.
- The structured Oxford weave lacks the inherent give of knit fabrics and relies on the relaxed cut for movement — without the extra room, a non-stretch woven shirt would feel restrictive through the chest and arms.
- The shirt inherits Simons' classic North American cut philosophy, which is inherently more generous than European slim fits — the relaxed fit amplifies this into an easy, comfortable shape without becoming billowy.
How Oxford cloth feels and breathes in warm weather
- The open basketweave is comfortable in both summer heat and winter layering, so this shirt isn’t just a warm-weather piece — it transitions easily under a sweater or jacket when temperatures drop, effectively extending its wearable season to most of the year in temperate climates.
- The shirt’s relaxed fit — cut with extra room through the body — means the fabric hangs away from the skin, allowing air to circulate freely through the breathable Oxford weave and amplifying the overall cooling effect on warm days.
- Oxford’s medium weight and textured surface prevent the semi-transparent look that thin poplin dress shirts can develop when damp with sweat, so the shirt stays visually opaque and presentable whether worn untucked with shorts or under an unlined blazer on a hot commute.
- The Oxford cloth’s 2×2 basketweave — where two warp and two weft yarns interlace — creates a more open mesh than a standard plain weave, allowing air to flow through the fabric freely and keeping the shirt cooler on warm days than a similarly weighted poplin.
- Because the recycled cotton blend retains cotton’s ability to draw moisture away from the skin and promote evaporation, the shirt stays drier and more comfortable than a fully synthetic Oxford in humid conditions — a key differentiator when wearing this shirt alone on a sticky summer day.
How Le 31 quality compares to other house brands
- As a Simons-only brand designed in Canada, Le 31 offers a localized design ethos that stands apart from the anonymous global supply chain of most accessible-priced shirts, giving buyers a story of domestic creativity and reduced design-to-market distance without the cost premium of small-batch Canadian production.
- Le 31’s Oxford program spans three distinct fits — Standard (straight and roomy), Modern (body-hugging with narrow sleeves), and Relaxed (easy drape) — allowing a buyer to choose a precise silhouette, a level of fit tailoring that is typically reserved for brands selling at higher tiers and uncommon in the sub-$100 CAD range.
- Le 31 consistently uses sustainable fibers in its Oxfords — the Modern fit combines organic and recycled cotton, while this Relaxed fit uses a recycled cotton blend — demonstrating that material ethics are embedded in the brand’s sourcing, a meaningful differentiator versus fast-fashion oxfords made from virgin cotton and a talking point for sustainably-minded shoppers at a $69 CAD price.
Durability and care of recycled cotton blends
- Mechanical recycling, the most common process for reclaimed cotton, shears fiber length by 30–40%, which means the yarns in this shirt’s Oxford weave are intrinsically shorter and more prone to breakage than virgin cotton yarns; this is the structural reality behind the need for gentle care — without it, the fabric can lose body and develop thin spots after repeated washing.
- Turning the shirt inside out before washing and using a mesh laundry bag reduces the surface-on-surface friction that pulls short recycled fibers into pills; combined with the Oxford weave’s dense basket structure, this simple step preserves the shirt’s visual freshness and reduces the need for depilling over its lifetime.
- A 2026 lifecycle study comparing 100% virgin cotton against a 30% mechanically recycled cotton blend found the recycled blend developed visible pilling later, suggesting that the shortened fibers from mechanical recycling are less likely to entangle into pills — a property that can keep this striped Oxford shirt looking crisp through more wear-wash cycles than a pure virgin cotton alternative.
- Because recycled cotton fibers are shorter and more fragile, industry guidance specifically for recycled cotton fabrics prescribes washing in cold water (30°C or lower) on a gentle cycle and strictly air-drying; the high heat and tumbling of a dryer are particularly damaging to the structural integrity of recycled yarns, and adopting these lower-impact habits shrinks the durability gap between recycled and virgin cotton shirts.
- In the same study where recycled cotton resisted pilling longer, the per-wear environmental impact of the recycled blend was lower than that of the 100% virgin cotton garment because the longer effective wear life spread the manufacturing footprint across more uses — a dual benefit that makes the recycled content not just a sustainability statement but a functional edge in terms of overall garment mileage.

Q&A
1 answered- Are the stripes woven into the fabric or printed on?
- The stripes are woven into the fabric. Oxford cloth is a woven material, and stripes on Oxford shirts are typically created by using different colored yarns in the weave rather than being printed on.
