Product Insights
Le 31's Lightweight Weave Bermudas with a 7.5-inch inseam combine a tailored silhouette from a buttoned flat front with hidden side elastic panels that ensure comfort and adaptability to daily size changes. Made from REFIBRA TENCEL lyocell produced in a closed-loop process with over 99% solvent recovery and traceable fibers, the white base of the lyocell enables rich navy and black colors without additional bleaching. The 7.5-inch inseam hits mid-thigh, and the elastic waist allows a true-to-size fit. The deep navy color has a faint sheen, and while the fabric is claimed to be durable and pilling-resistant, this is not yet confirmed.
- Waistband design
Buttoned flat front with hidden side elastic panels for a tailored silhouette.
Why this is supported
The product description mentions a 'Buttoned elastic comfort waist'. Research confirms this is a hybrid design: a flat front button closure with elastic panels at the sides, avoiding the gathered look of full-elastic shorts.
The old full-elastic, drawstring waistband has been replaced by sophisticated hybrids: flat fronts with elastic backs, side-tab adjusters combined with internal elastic, and paperbag waists with hidden comfort stretch.
shanghaigarment.comAnother source specifies the elastic placement:
Engineered elastic panels sit at the sides — not all the way around. This means the front maintains a clean, tailored flat-front look while giving you freedom to move, sit and stretch without restriction.
paulbrownengland.comThus the waistband delivers a tailored chino appearance with hidden stretch.
- Waistband comfort
Side elastic allows free movement, adapts to daily size changes, and prevents waist pinching.
Why this is supported
The side elastic panels are designed to move with the body. One source states:
Engineered elastic panels sit at the sides — not all the way around. This means the front maintains a clean, tailored flat-front look while giving you freedom to move, sit and stretch without restriction.
paulbrownengland.comThey also distribute pressure evenly. As another source explains:
They distribute tension evenly, preventing areas of tightness or loose fit.
modern-physics.orgThe waistband adapts to the body's natural changes throughout the day:
The modern elastic-waist classic short solves the core problem of the traditional rigid waistband: it accommodates the body's natural fluctuations in size throughout the day, during meals, and across different sitting and standing positions.
shanghaigarment.comAnd the Q&A suggests it offers sizing flexibility:
The elastic comfort waist provides flexibility, so we generally recommend ordering your usual size. If between sizes, the stretch may allow sizing down.
How does the 7.5" inseam fit relative to standard men's shorts? Is this considered a mid-thigh or knee-length? Are the shorts true to size, or should I size up/down given the elastic waist?- Manufacturing
REFIBRA TENCEL lyocell uses 99% solvent recovery and is traceable.
Why this is supported
The REFIBRA TENCEL lyocell in these shorts comes from a closed-loop process that recovers more than 99% of the NMMO solvent, as confirmed by textileworld.com:
The technology developed by Lenzing enables more than 99 percent of the solvent to be recovered in a closed chemical loop and then fed back into the production process.
textileworld.comAdditionally, Lenzing's identification system ensures each fiber can be traced in the finished textile:
The system makes it possible to identify the Refibra™ fiber in the finished textile.
lenzing.com- Dye efficiency
White REFIBRA fibers enable navy and black colors without additional bleaching.
Why this is supported
The REFIBRA fibers in these shorts are pure white, unlike mechanically recycled cotton that carries residual dyes, so the navy and black colorways achieve rich saturation without additional bleaching:
Unlike some mechanically recycled cotton, Tencel Refibra fibres are pure white and can be used to make bright coloured clothing.
plasticfree.com- Biodegradability
The lyocell fibers are certified biodegradable and compostable.
Why this is supported
The lyocell in these shorts is certified biodegradable and compostable under industrial, home, soil, and marine conditions, meaning the entire garment will fully decompose without contributing to microplastics:
All TENCEL™ standard Lyocell and Modal fiber types have been certified as biodegradable and compostable under industrial, home, soil, and marine conditions, so they can fully revert back to nature.
materialsmatterforjlp.co.uk- Inseam length
7.5-inch inseam hits mid-thigh, above the knee.
Why this is supported
The 7.5" inseam is considered mid-thigh length as stated in the product description [1].
How does the 7.5" inseam fit relative to standard men's shorts? Is this considered a mid-thigh or knee-length? Are the shorts true to size, or should I size up/down given the elastic waist?This places the shorts above the knee, appealing to those who prefer a modern silhouette.
- Elastic waist fit
Elastic waist allows true-to-size fit; between sizes can size down.
Why this is supported
The elastic comfort waist provides flexibility, so we generally recommend ordering your usual size. If between sizes, the stretch may allow sizing down.

shanghaigarment.com- Color depth and sheen
Navy/midnight blue reads deep and clean with a faint sheen.
Why this is supported
The pure white REFIBRA fibers prevent grey undertones in dark colors, as a material source explains:
Unlike some mechanically recycled cotton, Tencel Refibra fibres are pure white and can be used to make bright coloured clothing.
plasticfree.comAdditionally, the satiny weave gives a soft luster. The listing's Q&A describes the result:
In navy/midnight blue, this will appear as a rich color with a faint sheen, not matte.
The listing mentions a 'subtly satiny feel' – does this affect how the navy/midnight blue appears in person? Is it a matte or shiny finish?- Traceability
The REFIBRA lyocell can be traced in the finished garment via Lenzing's fiber identification system.
Why this is supported
Lenzing's fiber identification technology makes it possible to verify the presence of REFIBRA in the finished garment,
The system makes it possible to identify the Refibra™ fiber in the finished textile.
lenzing.comThis means the 32% REFIBRA content from Le 31 is a certified claim with supply chain transparency.
- Closed-loop process
REFIBRA lyocell is produced in a closed-loop process recovering over 99% of the NMMO solvent.
Why this is supported
The REFIBRA lyocell component is manufactured using a closed-loop process that recovers and reuses the solvent, as described by Lenzing:
The technology developed by Lenzing enables more than 99 percent of the solvent to be recovered in a closed chemical loop and then fed back into the production process.
textileworld.comThis adds an additional environmental benefit beyond the recycled content.
- Color purity
REFIBRA lyocell fibers are pure white, enabling clean, rich dark colors.
Why this is supported
Because REFIBRA fibers are pure white, unlike mechanically recycled cotton which retains residual dyes, the dark colorways (black, navy) appear rich without grey or brown undertones:
Unlike some mechanically recycled cotton, Tencel Refibra fibres are pure white and can be used to make bright coloured clothing.
plasticfree.comThis is a visual advantage directly tied to the material technology.
- Care
Brand claims fabric is generally durable and resistant to pilling without customer confirmation yet.
Why this is supported
generally durable and resistant to pilling
Given the recycled cotton blend, how does the fabric hold up to repeated wear and washing? Are there any known issues with pilling or fading?, though this claim lacks customer review confirmation for this specific model.

Bermuda
Un peu grande et là aussi je ne sais pas quoi faire si c'est possible d'arranger cela.
Manque les passants de ceinture
J'aurais apprécié l'ajout de passants de ceinture même si la taille convient. J'aime pouvoir accrocher des objets après le passant tel que ma clé de voiture. Le dessus est très léger mais se froisse très facilement.
Style ne convenait pas au tour de taille, trop petit!
Pas un bon model pour la taille de la personne
