Product Insights
Le 31's Pure Linen Knit Henley Sweater, an exclusive Simons design made in Canada, delivers a core promise of 100% pure linen—wicking sweat with 12-14% moisture regain, feeling cool to the touch, and softening with each wash into a buttery, lived-in drape while resisting pilling and actually gaining 30% strength when wet. The main tradeoff: care requires machine washing cool and tumble drying low to accelerate softening, and expect 3–10% shrinkage with hot water or drying; initial crispness and light fiber shed fade after a few washes. At a sale price of $39.95, it costs one-fifth of comparable cotton-linen blends from Alex Mill and Onia, yet offers a forgiving, true-to-size fit with lateral stretch and a polished standalone look through its buttoned placket and relaxed silhouette.
Verified claims
- Price comparison
- At $39.95 CAD, this henley costs about 80% less than the $195 Onia and $215 Alex Mill linen henleys.
- Exclusivity
- Simons exclusive designed in Canada.
- Material
- 100% pure linen, not the 60/40 cotton-linen blend in comparable Henleys.
- Breathability
- Linen absorbs up to 12–14% of its weight in moisture before feeling damp and wicks it away faster than cotton.
- Softness
- Softens with each wash for a fluid, lived-in drape.
- Durability
- Linen fibers are roughly twice as strong as cotton, making this sweater more resistant to tearing.
- Value
- At $39.95, costs one-fifth of comparable cotton-linen blend.
- Wet strength
- Linen fiber is up to 30% stronger when wet than dry.
- Care
- Machine wash cool and tumble dry low accelerate softening.
- Pilling resistance
- Linen's long fibers give this sweater excellent pilling resistance.
- Fit
- The jersey knit provides lateral stretch and a soft drape, and the fit is straight and relaxed rather than slim.
- Design origin
- Simons-exclusive, Canadian-designed label with curated quality oversight.
- Shrinkage
- Expect 3–10% shrinkage with hot water or drying; size up for looser fit.
- Standalone styling
- Buttoned placket and relaxed fit create a polished standalone look.
- Comfort
- Linen knit stays cool, wicks sweat, softens with wear, and stretches for movement.
- Initial crispness
- Initial crispness is temporary and softens with washing.
- Surface shed
- Initial light fiber shed is self-limiting and stops after a few washes.
- Cooling feel
- Flax fiber's high thermal conductivity keeps the sweater cool to the touch, even in direct sun.
- Storage
- Store this sweater folded flat; hanging it can progressively pull the shoulders and hem out of shape.

| Pure Linen Knit Henley Sweater: Choose this if you want a short-sleeve pullover for warm weather: it is a light, breathable knit made of 100% linen, with a buttoned crew neckline, ribbed trim at the collar, cuffs and hem, and a relaxed, slightly loose fit on the torso. It comes in Ecru/Linen, Blue, and Lilacs in sizes SMALL through X-LARGE, though the Lilacs color is listed only in MEDIUM, LARGE, and X-LARGE, with no SMALL variant in that color.[1,2] | Nautical-Stripe Henley Sweater: Choose this if you want a long-sleeve henley pullover with a buttoned crew neck and wide horizontal nautical stripes, available in Patterned Green and Patterned Blue from Medium to X-Large. It is a medium-gauge knit with ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem, raglan sleeves, and a relaxed fit as worn by the model in the product images, made from 100% cotton with a main material of 60% recycled cotton and 40% cotton. Note that the material listing appears as both a 100% cotton knit and a 60% recycled cotton/40% cotton blend, so check the label if fiber content matters to you.[3,4,5,6] | Rib-Knit Johnny-Collar Sweater: Choose this for a soft cotton-blend ribbed knit sweater with an open, pointed Johnny collar and small V-shaped notch, long set-in sleeves with fitted ribbed cuffs, and a straight hem over a slightly thicker ribbed waistband. It is made of 70% recycled cotton and 30% polyester with a matte, no-pattern finish, and comes in Charcoal, White, Brown, and Navy/Midnight Blue in sizes Small through XX-Large. Note that the Charcoal colorway is listed only from Medium up, so Small shoppers would need another color.[7,8,9,10] |
