Product Insights
Le 31's Pleated Chinos in Reykjavik Fit offer a tapered silhouette with collapsible flat pleats that provide expandable room, balanced by a stretch twill of recycled cotton, TENCEL Lyocell, and spandex for a silky, breathable, and moisture-wicking feel. The tradeoff is a specific care routine—wash cold, air dry, hang to store, and steam to restore pleats—to preserve the fit and softness, while the closed-loop TENCEL production and recycled cotton lower environmental impact.
Verified claims
- Fit
- Regular rise, collapsible pleats, and stretch twill create a roomy yet tapered silhouette.
- Care
- Wash cold, air dry, hang to store, and steam to restore pleats for best fit.
- Handfeel
- The recycled cotton/TENCEL Lyocell twill feels silky and softer than standard cotton chinos.
- Stretch
- The 2% spandex provides a gentle stretch that moves with the body and lets pleats collapse when standing.
- Moisture management
- TENCEL Lyocell fibers wick moisture and keep the fabric breathable, cooler than cotton.
- Washing
- Wash inside out at 30°C max with mild eco-detergent; avoid softener and bleach; first wash stabilizes fit.
- Drying
- Air dry flat or hanging; do not tumble dry to preserve fit and softness.
- Steaming
- Lightly steam after washing to restore softness and pleat shape.
- Storage
- Store on a hanger to maintain pleats and tailored shape.
- Lifecycle impact
- TENCEL Lyocell reduces water consumption by up to 69%.
- Production process
- Closed-loop process recovers 99.8% of solvent with near-zero waste.
- Certifications
- EU Ecolabel, FSC/PEFC wood, TÜV biodegradable certification.
- Materials sourcing
- 66% recycled cotton lowers biodiversity footprint vs virgin fibers.
- Pleat function
- Anti-fit flat pleats with belt loops provide expandable room that collapses, keeping a tapered silhouette.
- Comfort
- The stretch twill (recycled cotton, TENCEL Lyocell, spandex) keeps the generous cut comfortable and breathable.
- Design philosophy
- Positioned as an anti-fit pant bridging slim and wide-leg trends.
- Pleat design
- Collapsible flat pleats provide fullness, balanced by a tapered ankle.
