Product Insights
The Le 31 Floral Jacquard Short (9-inch inseam, 23 cm) is in stock at CAD 59.95 sale price, undercutting luxury floral jacquard shorts like Etro by roughly 85% while delivering woven-in durability that won't peel, crack, or fade. Its elastic waist accommodates a 2–4 inch range without a drawstring, providing a full-circumference comfort fit, and the above-knee relaxed cut suits average builds while preventing a too-short look on tall frames. The fabric—60% reprocessed cotton and 40% linen—feels soft, lightweight, and dry with a raised floral pattern, and the unlined construction enhances breathability to avoid the sweatiness of synthetics. Care involves machine washing cold, gentle spin, and low tumble drying; the 9-inch inseam shrinks 3-5% in the first wash, effectively wearing like a 7-inch on taller wearers. Matching shirt and pants are available for a coordinated set or summer suit.
- Durability
The floral jacquard pattern is woven in, so it won't peel, crack, or fade even after washing.
Why this is supported
The jacquard pattern is woven directly into the textile structure, so it cannot peel or crack even after repeated washing.
jacquard shorts are distinguished by woven patterns integrated directly into the textile structure.
dailiclothing.comTo maintain the pattern, experts recommend washing inside out, using a max spin of 600 RPM, water temperature of 30°C, and flat drying:
Wash delicate or raised jacquards inside out to help protect the surface.
nooteboomtextiles.comSpin Speed: Max 600 RPM. Higher speeds force water through pattern floats, creating shear stress that pulls warp yarns laterally.
lifetips.alibaba.comWater Temperature: 30°C maximum.
lifetips.alibaba.comWhen air drying jacquard, lay it flat on a clean towel to prevent stretching or distortion.
fandafabrics.comThese steps ensure the pattern stays crisp.

mfgmerch.comThis forgiveness suits fluctuating midsections. Unlike the Diamond and Abstract jacquard shorts,
this Floral Jacquard Short relies solely on the full-circumference elastic and a button closure — eliminating front hardware and keeping the waistband clean, but removing the on-body custom tensioning that a drawstring provides if the elastic loosens with wear.

Soft, lightweight cotton-linen jacquard with a dry texture and raised floral pattern.
Why this is supported

slightly rough texture

- Breathability
Breathable, unlined cotton-linen jacquard stays cool and avoids the sweatiness of synthetic alternatives.
Why this is supported
The fabric is described as
Lightweight Jacquard fabrics, such as those made from thin cotton or silk, are ideal for summer. They allow air to flow through the fabric, which helps to keep the body cool and comfortable.
jestextile.comThe shorts are unlined, as per the manufacturer:
The shorts are not lined. The fabric is a jacquard weave in a cotton-linen blend, which is typically opaque and not sheer, so lining is unnecessary.
Is the short lined, or is the fabric sheer enough to require lining?Compared to synthetic jacquard shorts, the cotton-linen blend offers a cooler, more breathable feel in warm weather. The recycled content also does not hinder breathability:
Lightweight, breathable blend of recycled cotton and linen
