Product Insights
The Silky Knit Polo from Le 31 combines a liquid-like drape and subtle sheen from recycled viscose-nylon with department-store construction and a fine-gauge knit that resists sagging, pilling, and shape distortion. Canadian sizing with 20% stretch allows most to wear usual size or size down for a trimmer fit. The adjustable three-button neckline and shape-retaining collar and cuffs enable smart-casual versatility, pairing with tailored trousers and loafers. At 59 CAD, it offers refined style and durability, though it requires hand or gentle machine wash and flat drying to preserve its eco-friendly fibers and color richness.
Verified claims
- Sizing
- The 20% nylon gives the knit noticeable stretch for comfort and ease of movement; fit reports are mixed — some buyers find it true to size, others find the silky drape snug and suggest sizing up, and those wanting a trimmer fit can size down.
- Collar and cuffs
- Neckline adjusts via three buttons; collar and cuffs retain shape over time.
- Fit
- Department-store construction and 20% nylon resist fit distortion after laundering.
- Drape
- Liquid-like drape and subtle sheen from recycled viscose-nylon skims the body and resists sagging and pilling.
- Moisture comfort
- Viscose's 11–12% moisture absorption actively wicks perspiration, so the polo feels drier and more cooling than polyester or untreated cotton in humid conditions.
- Shape retention
- Collar and cuffs resist bagging; body resists sagging after washing.
- Pilling resistance
- Short fiber pilling is offset by tight knit and nylon abrasion resistance.
- Care
- Hand wash or gentle machine wash in cool water; always lay flat to dry.
- Styling
- Pairs with tailored trousers and loafers; the knit is the focal texture.
- Value
- At $39.95, it brings Canadian design and smart-casual versatility at fast-fashion prices.
- Moisture wicking
- 80% viscose-nylon blend wicks sweat and retains shape when wet
- Brand heritage
- Le 31 by Simons offers refined casualwear with department-store construction standards.
- Eco impact
- 80% reprocessed viscose reduces virgin cellulose demand and waste.
- Durability
- Fine-gauge knit and 20% nylon reduce pilling and help prevent sagging, offsetting the weak points of short recycled viscose fibers.
- Color retention
- Viscose has high dye affinity, so the knit holds saturated colors like the deep navy and green after gentle washing.
- Neckline adjustability
- Three-button placket enables fine neckline control for varied formality.
- Hand feel
- The viscose knit has a smooth, buttery-soft hand-feel; one buyer calls the fabric 'buttery soft.'
- Design origin
- Le 31's pattern-making and sizing are developed in Canada, typically giving the polo a fit that accommodates North American proportions with a more natural shoulder line.
- Style versatility
- Buyers say the polo works for any occasion: it can be dressed up or worn casually.

Très agréable à porter
Très beau, doux et agréable à porter! Belle confection, fidèle à la taille!
very neat!
perfect for any occasion, you can dress it up or casually wear it
I wish Simons has extra small.
I decided to buy more of this polo because I really like the fabric and the style. Unfortunately, Simons rarely has my size. Even small is often too big for me. So I washed the polo shirts I bought in hot water and put them in the dryer at high heat so they would shrink. They're now a good size.
Great Polo t-shirt
I love the color and the feel of the fabric, buttery soft!
Snug fit size up
Got this for my husband who is usually a medium and it was too snug. For the silky drape, I would size up. Return was easy
