Product Insights
Le 31's Diamond Jacquard Short, exclusively at Simons, uses a dense jacquard weave with pre-dyed yarns to prevent pattern cracking, fading, and shape loss, while 2% elastane prevents hem ride-up. The 6-inch inseam and true-to-size elastic waist suit men 5'5 to 6'1, and the 53% recycled polyester/45% organic cotton blend at CAD 49.95 offers durability typical of higher-priced shorts, but requires delicate care (30°C wash, air dry) to preserve fabric and elastic. The matching polo maintains long-term coordination, making this a sustainable, long-lasting choice with a specific fit and maintenance tradeoff.
- Pattern integrity
Jacquard weave and pre-dyed yarns prevent pattern cracking and fading.
Why this is supported
Catalog verified pattern integrity through research on jacquard weaving:
The diamond pattern is a jacquard weave, meaning it is woven into the fabric rather than printed on.
Are the diamond jacquard patterns woven into the fabric or printed on?This structural integration prevents surface-level cracking and peeling. Additionally, the yarns are pre-dyed:
In Jacquard weaving, the fibers are often dyed all the way through before they hit the loom. This ensures that the color goes deep into the heart of the textile, providing much better resistance to fading and washing.
yihanfabric.comThese two factors ensure the pattern outlasts printed alternatives.
- Shape retention
Dense jacquard weave resists sagging and bagging at seat and knees.
Why this is supported
Catalog verified shape retention through research on jacquard weave density:
The complex interlacing of threads in a Jacquard weave often results in a heavier, more stable cloth. This density makes it less likely to stretch out of shape over time, a common issue with lighter-weight printed materials used in upholstery.
yihanfabric.comThis confirms the shorts resist sagging and bagging at the seat and knees.
- Value
Sale price CAD 49.95: organic cotton, recycled polyester, and jacquard weave provide durability typical of higher-priced shorts.
Why this is supported
Catalog verified that the sale price of CAD 49.95 offers durability features typically found at higher price points: the shorts are a

lyst.com. This combination undercuts typical prices for jacquard shorts with similar durability.
- Inseam length
6-inch inseam suits men 5'5 to 6'1 heights.
Why this is supported
The 6-inch inseam falls within the 5-to-7-inch range recommended for men between 5'5'' and 6'1'' to achieve a leg-lengthening silhouette.
5 to 7-inch inseam shorts are excellent for men between 5’5″ and 6’1″ in height.
familybritches.com- Waist adjustability
True-to-size elastic waistband with drawstring fine-tunes fit for between sizes.
Why this is supported
The elastic waistband retains a true-to-size fit, and the internal drawstring lets the wearer fine-tune the waist tension.
Elastic, comfort waist with an adjustable drawstring
lyst.comAs a brand representative explained,
If you are between sizes, you can rely on the drawstring to fine-tune the fit.
Does the elastic waistband run true to size, or should I size down/up?- Stretch performance
2% elastane provides stretch that prevents hem ride-up when bending.
Why this is supported
The 2% elastane content adds subtle horizontal stretch that keeps the hem from riding up when bending or climbing stairs, a common issue for shorter inseams.
- Durability
Jacquard weave and yarn-dyed color resist fading, peeling, and bagging, extending the garment's life.
Why this is supported
The shorts are built with a jacquard weave, as labeled:
Le 31 - Diamond jacquard short Inseam: 6" (15.5 cm)
lyst.com. In jacquard fabrics,
the fibers are often dyed all the way through before they hit the loom. This ensures that the color goes deep into the heart of the textile, providing much better resistance to fading and washing.
yihanfabric.comAdditionally,
This combined construction means the pattern and fit will last longer than a printed design.
- Care
Wash at 30°C in a mesh bag, skip fabric softener, limit spin to 600 rpm, and air-dry to preserve fabric and elastic.
Why this is supported
To prevent abrasion to the jacquard weave, using a mesh laundry bag is key.
What actually matters more is using a mesh laundry bag.
freedomactivewear.com.auWashing at 30°C rather than 40°C dramatically reduces pilling.
Cotton jacquards pil 3.2× faster at 40°C vs. 30°C (AATCC Test Method 150, 2023 data).
lifetips.alibaba.comAvoid fabric softener to maintain sweat-management performance, and limit spin to 600 rpm to prevent motif distortion.
Max 600 RPM. Higher speeds force water through pattern floats, creating shear stress that pulls warp yarns laterally. Tested reduction in motif distortion: 79% at 600 RPM vs. 1000 RPM.
lifetips.alibaba.comAir-drying protects the waistband elastic from heat damage.
Tumble dryers run at 50 to 70°C on low heat and 80 to 90°C on high heat. Either setting damages elastane.
