Product Insights
Le 31's Minimalist Crew-Neck Sweater is an affordable ($39.95 CAD), designed-in-Canada capsule essential made from 100% recycled cotton that softens with washing and layers cleanly under blazers, but its sustainability comes at the cost of inconsistent sizing across batches and colors, requiring returns or ordering two sizes, and high-maintenance care—cold water hand wash, inside-out, and lay-flat drying—to prevent shrinkage, fading, pilling, and a wavy hem, with reduced durability compared to virgin cotton and potential warmth in heated offices.
Verified claims
- Sizing consistency
- Buyers report the same tagged size fits differently across batches and colors, often requiring returns.
- Shrinkage
- Buyers report the recycled cotton shrinks even in cold water, tightening the fit if not laid flat.
- Care
- Machine drying or hot water causes shrinkage and a wavy hem; lay flat to dry.
- Color fading
- Deep colors like navy fade unless washed inside-out in cold water.
- Pilling
- Washing inside-out reduces surface friction and prevents pilling.
- Texture
- Initial crisp texture softens after washing and wear.
- Breathability
- Lightweight and breathable for all-day wear and layering under jackets.
- Fit
- Soft, lightweight knit layers cleanly under blazers and resists wrinkling.
- Thermal comfort
- 100% recycled cotton can feel warm in heated offices, per buyers.
- Material
- 100% reprocessed cotton breathes, ages without synthetic sheen, and softens with washing
- Durability
- Softer than virgin cotton but less durable; cold hand wash to preserve shape.
- Brand & design
- Le 31 is Simons' designed-in-Canada private label; this sweater is the entry-level capsule essential.
- Color palette
- Eight curated shades (including vibrant green and navy) for modular wardrobing.
- Sizing strategy
- Between-size buyers can size down for a closer fit or stick with their usual size for the intended drape.
- Batch consistency
- Order two sizes because the same tagged size can fit differently across batches.
- Comfort & layering
- All-day wear and clean layering under a blazer; may feel warm when layered in heated offices.

Happy overall
The sweater looks good and fits well. I like that it's all cotton with no synthetic materials. The price point is excellent. Only downside is the texture - surprisingly it's not as soft as I expected for 100% cotton.

While visiting Montreal, did some “window shopping” for Christmas gifts. Really liked the store and figured my husband loves thin sweaters, so why not buy something from a store that cares for the environment.

Perfect packaging for gifts!
Ordered 6 shirts and sweaters for my husband's Christmas gift and they arrived yesterday. Everything was packed nicely - with the price portion of the tags removed- in a green Simons box, inside a cardboard shipping box. The card with my message was tucked in, too. All I had to do was add a ribbon!
