What is the chest measurement for size Medium?

We don't have the exact chest measurement for size Medium published in the product listing. For similar Le 31 comfort fit shirts, sizing is typically by chest size (e.g., Chest 38 for M as seen on other Le 31 Oxford shirts), but we recommend checking the size guide on the product page for precise measurements.

Are the graphic pleats sewn into the fabric or are they printed?

The graphic pleats are sewn into the fabric — they are actual pleats created by folding and stitching the material to form a textured design, not printed on. The product description lists 'graphic pleats at the front' as a structural feature, and the fabric is 100% cotton oxford, which is a woven cloth, so the pleats are constructed rather than printed.

Is the officer collar a button-down or a stand-up style?

The officer collar on this shirt is a stand-up style — it's a short, upright collar that fastens with a button at the neck, giving a clean, modern look without traditional collar points. Unlike a button-down collar, it is not meant to be worn with a tie and is designed to stand up or fold over slightly.

Does the 100% cotton oxford fabric shrink after washing?

Yes, 100% cotton oxford fabric can shrink after washing, especially if washed in hot water or dried on high heat. Oxford cloth is a woven cotton that typically has some shrinkage (often 3-5% on first wash). To minimize shrinkage, we recommend washing in cold water and tumble drying on low or line drying.

How does the 'comfort fit' compare to a regular fit from other brands?

Le 31's 'comfort fit' is a straight cut designed with extra room in the shoulders and sleeves for ease of movement. It's looser than a classic regular fit from most brands, which typically follow the body more closely. On other Le 31 products, the comfort fit is described as 'a straight cut with room to move in the shoulders and sleeves', making it a relaxed, generous silhouette.

Product Insights

This Le 31 shirt features genuine sewn-in graphic pleats and an officer collar that can be worn upright or folded, with a comfort fit straight cut providing extra room in shoulders and sleeves for ease of movement. Made from 100% cotton oxford in a 4–6 oz basket weave, it is breathable for summer yet warm enough for fall, hiding light creases better than smoother fabrics and softening with each wash without pilling or thinning, though it may shrink 3–5% on first wash unless cared for with cold water and low heat.

Deep Research

What 100% cotton oxford fabric brings to this shirt

At 4–6 ounces per square yard, oxford shirting has enough heft to hold its shape without feeling stiff, making it the go-to weight for a shirt that works unbuttoned over a tee in summer and layered under a wool sweater in fall.
The textured surface hides light creases much better than smooth poplin or twill, so the shirt stays presentable through a full day of wear and requires only a quick touch-up rather than a full ironing session.
The 2×1 basket weave — two warp threads passing over one weft — gives oxford its signature pebbly texture, which naturally diffuses light to hide wrinkles, provides a softer drape than the flat-faced broadcloth used in dress shirts, and has anchored casual shirting since the late 19th century.
Oxford cloth originated in 19th-century Scotland as one of four 'university' fabrics (alongside Cambridge, Harvard, and Yale) and became the standard for the button-down shirt during the rise of American sportswear, lending the fabric a heritage that still reads as effortlessly preppy.
Cotton oxford's long fibers relax with each wash, causing the fabric to soften and develop a lived-in hand without pilling or thinning — a break-in process that makes the shirt feel more comfortable over time rather than wearing out.
The open basket weave allows steady airflow, making oxford comfortable in warmer months while still being substantial enough to provide warmth when the temperature drops, giving it three-season versatility.
