Why this is supported
Brand materials confirm a straight, untapered cut:
Our comfort fit features a straight cut with room to move in the shoulders and sleeves
lyst.com. Businesshemden.com adds that the Comfort Fit is a
straight cut shirt (wide model)
businesshemden.comwhile the Modern Fit is a
slightly waisted fit (fits most)
businesshemden.com. Buyer Q&A corroborates the roominess, noting the shirt is
noticeably more relaxed than a slim fit or even a standard regular fit from most other brands
How does the comfort fit compare to other brands' 'slim fit' or 'regular fit'? Is it truly roomy in the waist and shoulders as described?. The cut is consistent across sizes; sizing research notes the silhouette stays equally relaxed from neck 160 to 180. Furthermore, the extra room comes from cut volume, not fabric stretch, as the 100% cotton fabric has no elastane. This design philosophy is rooted in classic North American cuts: Le 31 is described as a

Under ASTM D737, cotton woven fabric achieves an air permeability of 159.58 cc/s/cm², compared to 139.85 cc/s/cm² for polyester at equivalent construction (Akter et al., 2024). That represents a 14% advantage for cotton.

provides extra space in the waist, shoulders, and sleeves
How does the comfort fit compare to other brands' 'slim fit' or 'regular fit'?

natuclothes.com— a 14% breathability edge over polyester. Additionally, cotton manages moisture better:
