Product Insights
The Utility Cargo Bermudas Inseam: 10" (26 Cm) by Le 31 combines a 55% TENCEL, 23% linen, and 22% polyester blend for silky softness and breathability, with TENCEL minimizing wrinkles and polyester limiting shrinkage. However, the fabric’s wet weakness demands gentle washing and air-drying flat, and ironing requires inside-out medium-low heat with a damp cloth, adding maintenance effort. At a sale price of $49.95 CAD, it undercuts American Eagle and L.L.Bean, offering competitive value despite the necessary care precautions.

Deep Research
Care and how they hold up over time
- TENCEL fibers weaken significantly when saturated, so twisting or wringing the shorts after washing stresses the weave; air-drying them flat or on a line away from direct sunlight — or using a dryer's lowest heat setting while still damp — avoids the mechanical shock that can lock in shrinkage and instead preserves the fabric's soft drape.
- The TENCEL component is naturally wrinkle-resistant and drape-enhancing, so while the linen in these shorts will still form creases at the lap and knee after a long sit, the overall wrinkle severity is noticeably lower than in pure linen bermudas — a practical edge for anyone wanting the look of linen without the constant touch-ups.
- A 100% TENCEL Lyocell garment can lose 3–5% of its dimensions when washed improperly the first time due to relaxation shrinkage, but the polyester in this blend reinforces the fabric's structure, so expect less movement — still, a cold first wash locks in the size and prevents the permanent compacting that hot water plus agitation triggers.
- Because fabric softeners coat the cellulose fibers in TENCEL and linen with a waxy film that reduces moisture transport and breathability, a mild liquid detergent without bleach or softeners keeps the shorts cool and airy through multiple summers — and avoids the fiber degradation that harsh enzymes can cause over time.
- Linen-Tencel twill will show creases after sitting, but a quick pass with a medium-low iron and a damp cloth revives the shorts without scorching the polyester or flattening the twill texture; ironing the reverse side adds an extra layer of protection for the pocket detailing.
Value compared to similar cargo shorts
- The $49.95 CAD sale is a 50% markdown from the $99 CAD regular price, a discount deep enough to make these shorts an impulse buy; by comparison, American Eagle's 10-inch cargo short lists at a full $49.95 USD, so Le 31 undercuts even a mall-brand full price by roughly half in dollar terms before factoring in the upgrade to a linen-TENCEL blend.
- Le 31 is Simon's private label, described as 'an exclusive designed in Canada'; the absence of a third-party brand markup frees up budget for material innovation, evidenced by the TENCEL Lyocell content that rarely appears in cargo shorts priced under $50 CAD—a structural cost advantage that directly benefits the buyer at the sale price.
- L.L.Bean's classic 10-inch cargo short relies on 100% cotton for breathability, yet even on sale it is priced at $40.99 USD; the Le 31 pair, at a lower CAD dollar amount, substitutes cotton with a linen-TENCEL Lyocell blend that offers better moisture management and a softer hand—an upgrade in fiber quality that reverses the usual price premium for technical or natural premium fabrics.
- Carhartt's 10-inch Force Ripstop Cargo Short, engineered with 95% nylon ripstop and Rugged Flex stretch, costs $59.99–$64.99 USD—roughly $82 CAD; for less than half that cost, the Le 31 short replaces workwear-grade synthetic with a warm-weather urban fabric blend, making it the clear choice for casual summer use where abrasion resistance is not the priority.
Breathability and comfort in warm weather
- The presence of TENCEL Lyocell in the twill gives the fabric a silky, smooth surface that glides against the skin without the scratchiness sometimes associated with pure linen, elevating the comfort of these shorts beyond typical utility wear.
- Linen fibers have an irregular, hollow structure that creates natural air channels in the fabric, so even with polyester in the blend, the shorts remain breathable—the linen component helps circulate air and reduce heat buildup on hot days.

Q&A
1 answered- How do these shorts fit compared to standard chino shorts—are they true to size, or do they run small/large?
- The product description notes that these shorts hit above the knee with a 10-inch inseam, which is typical for modern bermuda shorts. No specific sizing feedback (e.g., true-to-size or run small/large) is provided in the available data, so we recommend checking the size chart or trying your usual size.
