Product Insights
The Vertical Stripe Knit Polo from Le 31 delivers knitted-in stripes that never peel, crack, or fade, providing a smoothly cool, silk-like hand feel with uniform moisture wicking that outperforms cotton for light sweat but dries slower than synthetic activewear; while the pattern persists with careful washing, the knit may pill at the collar and underarms, and to maintain its wrinkle-resistant drape, the shirt must be air-dried flat to prevent stretching.

Deep Research
Material feel and performance
- Viscose-polyester knit blends are susceptible to surface pilling because the shorter viscose fibers eventually work loose and tangle with polyester — the ribbed collar and underarm zones, subject to friction, will be the first areas to show these pills.
- Viscose loses roughly half its tensile strength when saturated, so pulling and wringing this polo while wet can distort the knit — air-drying flat and avoiding the machine dryer extends its lifespan and keeps the ribbed edging crisp.
- Polyester's inherent elasticity prevents the deep, stubborn creasing that 100% viscose is known for; this polo can be unpacked and worn with minimal freshening, saving the time and effort of steaming that a pure viscose shirt demands.
- With viscose as the dominant fiber at 65%, this knit feels smoothly cool and silk-like against the skin, while the polyester adds just enough body to prevent the fabric from feeling limp or overly fluid — a tactile difference from the dry, structured feel of an all-cotton pique polo.
- Viscose's moisture regain of about 11–13% (versus 7–8.5% for cotton) means the polo wicks light sweat away from the body more actively than a standard cotton version, though the 35% polyester blend yields slower overall drying compared to pure synthetic workout shirts.

Q&A
1 answered- Are the vertical stripes knitted into the fabric or printed on?
- The vertical stripes are knitted into the fabric as part of the knit construction, not printed on. The product is described as a 'knit polo' with a 'vertical stripe knit' pattern, indicating the stripes are integral to the fabric.
