Product Insights
Le 31's Minimalist Stretch Short (7-inch inseam, 79 CAD, in stock) uses a mechanical weave for stretch without elastane, retaining shape, breathability, and identical performance regardless of recycled polyester ratio. The 52% recycled polyester blend cuts CO2 emissions by up to 60% while matching virgin durability. Permanent Polygiene treatment offers odor control and stays fresh for multiple wears, reducing washing and drying, saving water and energy. The fabric wicks sweat, dries quickly, and fits true to Simons' standard sizing with forgiving stretch. Care: wash only when necessary, low detergent, no fabric softeners, hang dry.
