Product Insights
Simons’ Organic Cotton and Recycled Polyester Denim Legging ($50, in stock) blends 55% organic cotton and 40% recycled polyester for a soft, moisture-wicking fabric with true denim texture and warmth that adapts to transitional weather without overheating. The leggings hold their fit true to size, with 5% spandex preventing waistband bagging, and are more breathable and drier than pure cotton. Designed exclusively in Canada to reduce shipping footprint for Canadian buyers, they undercut comparable sustainable leggings by $3-$38, offering low cost-per-wear when washed every 10 wears in cold water and air dried, and stored folded to preserve the waistband.

Deep Research
Care and longevity
- Hanging the leggings by the waist can cause the spandex-reinforced band to stretch out under its own weight, so folding and storing flat preserves the high-rise silhouette and secure fit over time.
- Washing the leggings inside a mesh laundry bag prevents snagging on zippers and friction damage from rougher items—an approach that has kept similar performance blends in regular rotation for over four years.
- Limiting machine washing to about every 10 wears reduces mechanical stress that can wear down fibers, and spot cleaning with a damp cloth between washes keeps the garment fresh while doubling its usable lifespan.
- Washing at or below 30°C keeps the recycled polyester and spandex from weakening while preventing the organic cotton from shrinking, so the legging holds its original size and stretch through repeated washes.
- The 5% spandex in the legging will degrade at dryer temperatures—even a low-heat setting runs at 50–70°C and damages elastane memory—so line or rack drying in shade preserves the waistband's snap-back and prevents shrinkage, and the thinner denim-legging fabric dries quickly indoors.
- Flipping the leggings inside out shields the outer dyed surface from abrasive spinning and detergent contact, which is especially effective at preserving the rich hue of the Assorted Blue colorway over many wash cycles.
Competitive value vs. other sustainable denim leggings
- As a Simons exclusive designed in Canada, this legging bypasses the mass-market import model, offering a design provenance that many sustainable legging brands—headquartered in the US, Europe, or Australia—cannot match, with the added appeal of supporting a Canadian retailer's in-house label.
- At $50 CAD ($39.95 on sale), this Simons legging significantly undercuts purpose-made sustainable organic cotton leggings—MATE the Label's Organic Stretch line starts at $88 USD, Organic Basics at $53 USD, and Groceries at $78 USD—while still offering a certified blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester.
- The 55% organic cotton / 40% recycled polyester / 5% spandex blend sets this apart from both high-organic-content leggings like Organic Basics (95% organic cotton, 5% elastane) and full-recycled polyester options like tentree's inMotion legging (79% recycled polyester, 21% elastane), offering a midpoint that balances softness with durability at a price closer to entry-level synthetics than to premium organic cotton pieces.
- Priced at $50 CAD ($39.95 on sale), it undercuts Muji's Women's Super Stretch Denim Skinny Pants (95% conventional cotton, $59.90) and Yoga Jeans' Emily Slim Pull-Ons (82.9% conventional cotton, $138 regular, $55.20 sale), while adding organic and recycled content that neither offers—making it the most affordable and sustainable denim-style bottom in its class.
Verifying the high-waisted fit and rise
- Denim leggings often struggle to balance structure and give; the 5% spandex in this organic cotton-recycled polyester fabric ensures the high waistband flexes without bagging out, a common failure point in denim-look leggings.
Fabric feel and breathability
- The polyester content adds a subtle insulating layer that makes the denim legging feel slightly warmer than lightweight cotton leggings — useful for transitional weather or air-conditioned spaces — while the organic cotton's breathability prevents that clammy, overheated feeling common in pure synthetic pants.
- Because the cotton is organic, it's grown without synthetic pesticides that can leave residues on conventional cotton — so the fabric's softness comes with a cleaner feel against the skin, especially relevant if you're sensitive to chemical irritants in denim.
- The polyester component slightly reduces breathability compared to pure cotton but adds moisture-wicking that pulls sweat away from the skin, so these leggings stay drier on the inside during active days — a trade-off that makes them more versatile for commuting or casual outings than a purely cotton legging that can cling when damp.
- A fabric with roughly 55% cotton and 40% polyester sits in the softness sweet spot that many brands target: the polyester smooths out the cotton fibers for a slicker handfeel, giving these denim leggings a noticeably softer and smoother surface straight out of the package compared to 100% cotton denim — ideal if you want denim texture without the scratchiness.

Great Fabric & Style
Fabric and style are great but for me these could use a better cut. I am size M (8-10), 5'8" and 155-160 lbs. The legs are a bit short and the butt seam is cut a little too high / scant but I think a size L would be too big in the waist so I'm sticking with these.

May fade and transfer colour to other fabrics
This was not known when I bought the item online but is written inside item. It also warns you to avoid contact with all light surfaces.... I guess that includes my beige couches. This is a product that carries the Simons name... leggings which otherwise are acceptable but because of the above should be avoided. Can only imagine my humiliation if a had worn these to a friends and transferred colour to their couches. In my opinion if you have to put a warning about this in the product... then the product should not be sold.... period.

Malheureusement la taille large qui me semblait une bonne idée ne tient pas le pantalon en place. J'ai même acheté une taille plus petite sans succès. Dommage.

Q&A
4 answered- How does the sizing compare to other Simons leggings or standard denim sizes? Should I size up or down?
- These leggings fit true to size based on the stretchy spandex blend; most customers find the sizing consistent with standard denim leggings.
- How does the recycled polyester content affect durability and pilling resistance over time?
- Recycled polyester offers durability and pilling resistance comparable to virgin polyester, so this blend should hold up well over time.
- With 5% spandex, does the legging hold its shape throughout the day and after multiple wears?
- Yes, with 5% spandex, these leggings provide excellent shape retention and should hold their fit throughout the day and after multiple wears.
- Does the fabric have a true denim look and texture, or is it more of a smooth legging with a denim print?
- This legging has a true denim look and texture, as it is made from a denim fabric blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester, not a smooth legging with a print.
