Product Insights
The Le 31 Monochrome Oxford Shirt in a modern fit provides fitted shoulders and narrow sleeves while staying true to size, made from a 50% recycled cotton blend that delivers instant softness and full breathability. This blend reduces water consumption by up to 80% and repurposes waste, but relies on 50% virgin cotton to prevent pilling from the shorter recycled fibers. To maintain its shape, the shirt requires cold water washing and air drying, with steam ironing to restore the structured fit.

Deep Research
Care and maintenance for longevity
- Washing in cold water reduces the risk of shrinkage that could make the modern fit feel too snug, especially given the fitted shoulders and narrow sleeves that leave minimal extra room.
- Air drying flat or on a hanger preserves both the shirt's body-hugging cut and the integrity of the recycled content, while a low-heat tumble dry can be used sparingly if you accept the risk of minor shrinkage over time.
- The oxford weave and button-down collar regain their structure best with a medium-high steam iron, which presses out wash-induced wrinkles and restores the clean, contemporary line of the modern fit.
- A gentle cycle with mild detergent limits mechanical stress on the recycled cotton fibers, which are inherently shorter than virgin cotton and more susceptible to surface pilling — keeping the ultra-comfortable weave smooth for longer.
How the recycled cotton blend performs
- Producing recycled cotton requires up to 80% less water than virgin cotton cultivation and diverts textile waste from landfills, meaning this 50% recycled content shirt cuts its environmental impact significantly without altering the oxford cloth's weight or drape.
- Recycled cotton fibers measure 15–20 mm versus 25–30 mm for virgin long-staple cotton, so the 50% virgin content in this shirt lifts the blend's average fiber length enough to spin a yarn that resists pilling at stress points like collar edges and elbow creases.
- Mechanical recycling creates a naturally fuzzy surface that skips the crisp, scratchy break-in period of virgin oxford cloth, delivering the 'ultra-comfortable' handfeel Le 31 describes straight out of the package.
- The molecular structure of cotton — whether virgin or recycled — is unchanged, so the 50/50 blend wicks perspiration and breathes as well as a traditional cotton oxford, making the shirt genuinely seasonless.

Oxford shirt
Really nice.
Belle chemise
Très belle chemise. Fait bien. Si vous faites 42 de tour de poitrine, XL est la taille car fait un peu plus petit que votre taille standard. Satisfait de cet achat, elle va être un passe-partout. Le tissu est assez épais, peut être dans une canicule, ça serait un peu chaud. ;)
Très bien !
Couleur parfaite et la coupe fait très bien.

Perfect casual oxford shirt
The fabric is thicker than a typical dress shirt, so you can wear it casually, but the cut is classic enough to wear to work in an office. Fits great, especially if you need a little room through the waist. Note that you'll probably have to iron or steam it to keep it from wrinkling.
There was a small section
There was a small section of the shirt that was ripped. I believe this is where the plastic holding the tag must have pulled while packing/shipping and caused this small tear. I could have also done it but i cut it with scissors. I noticed the small rip after when i was ironing the shirt to wear for the first time. Great shirt besides the rip, quality is average

Coupée trop grand
La chemise est belle et de bonne qualité, mais coupée beaucoup trop grand. La XS est grande comme une M. Comme elle est fait à 50% de coton recyclé elle ne rétrécit pas vraiment au séchage et demeure trop grande même après 2 lavages
Chemise propre mais décontractée
Vraiment super que la taille très petit soit disponible! Parfait pour mon ado !

Shirt feels a bit like plastic and not very comfortable. Collar is weak - doesn’t hold up without an ironing.

La qualité y est
Belle chemise ! Tissu plus épais qu’une chemise régulière et un peu texturé, donc parfait pour l’hiver. J’ai acheté la bleue et la noire et elles ont fait un hit (la noire étant bien sûr très passe partout). Épaules 42, la XL était parfaite
Colour not Baby Blue
Blue colour was exactly the same as previous very old similar shirts I have bought in the past from different merchants.

Q&A
1 answered- How does the 'modern fit' compare to other brands' slim fits—does it run true to size or should customers size up or down?
- Le 31's modern fit is a tailored silhouette that hugs the body with fitted shoulders and narrow sleeves [1]. It is less snug than a true slim fit—offering more room in the chest and waist for ease of movement [2]—but still keeps a clean, contemporary line [3]. Most customers find Le 31 runs true to size, so we recommend ordering your usual size rather than sizing up or down [4].
