Product Insights
A 100% linen knit polo with a Johnny collar that offers the breathability and cooling of linen (wicks sweat, dries 30% faster than cotton, conducts heat away) alongside natural odor control from antibacterial waxes, allowing multiple wears between washes. Priced at $59.95 CAD—37% less than J.Crew's linen woven—it delivers a collar style found in $185+ polos. The tradeoff: it demands cold-water washing and flat drying to preserve its relaxed fit and collar drape, and its knit surface may pill under friction (manageable with a fabric shaver). Over time, the fabric softens and develops a unique patina that blends cannot match.
Verified claims
- Value
- Le 31's direct-to-retail model keeps this 100% linen knit at the low end of the category at regular price, and at sale pricing it undercuts J.Crew's woven linen baseline while offering a Johnny collar typical of $185+ polos.
- Breathability
- 100% linen knit wicks sweat, dries 30% faster than cotton, and conducts body heat away.
- Care
- Requires cold wash and flat drying; pilling and rib distortion are manageable with care.
- Cooling
- 100% linen knit wicks moisture and dries 30% faster than cotton, cooling the skin.
- Odor control
- Natural antibacterial waxes reduce sweat odor, enabling multiple wears without washing.
- Pilling
- Knit surface may pill under friction but can be managed with a fabric shaver.
- Aging
- 100% linen knit softens and develops a patina that blends cannot match.
- Washing
- Cold water machine washing and flat drying preserves the relaxed fit and collar drape.
- Softening
- The linen knit softens and develops a more fluid drape after the first few washes.
- Storage
- Fold flat to prevent collar curling and shoulder stretching from hanging.
- Collar structure
- The Johnny collar has no wire or interfacing and is designed to lie flat against the chest.

| 100% Linen Knit Johnny Collar Polo: Choose this if you want a breathable warm-weather polo in 100% linen, made as a soft, lightweight knit with an open, buttonless Johnny collar and a shallow V-notch. It has a relaxed, slightly boxy fit that hangs away from the body, with short sleeves, ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem band, and comes in Ecru/Linen, Green, and Pink from Small to X-Large. Note the knit has a slightly slubby, natural texture, and the relaxed fit is assessed from how it appears on the model rather than as a guaranteed fit for every wearer.[1,2,3,4] | Openwork Knit Johnny Collar Polo: Choose this if you want a lightweight, short-sleeve knit polo with a buttonless, open pointed Johnny collar and a textured vertical openwork-rib knit, made from 60% organic cotton and 40% TENCEL modal. It is a Le 31 exclusive designed in Canada and comes in Black, Ivory, Green, and Navy/Midnight Blue in sizes small through x-large, with a fitted look on the model. Note that in the saved listing some sizes were missing from certain colors: no x-large in Black and no small in Ivory or Green.[5,6,7] | Pointelle-Pattern Knit Johnny Collar Polo: Choose this if you want a lightweight, cotton-blend (60% reprocessed cotton, 20% nylon, 20% viscose) knit polo with an open, pointed Johnny collar and buttonless V placket, finished with ribbed cuffs and hem. It comes in Black, Off White, Green, and Slate Blue, each in sizes X-Small through X-Large. Note that the pointelle openwork knit is semi-sheer, with skin slightly visible through the small holes, and care instructions indicate it should be folded rather than hung to retain its shape.[8,9,10,11] |
