Product Insights
The Le 31 Mixed Stripe Rugby Polo in comfort fit offers a generously roomy silhouette from 100% organic cotton with knit-in stripes that resist fading and washing out, though chlorine bleach can alter colors; sizing down is recommended for a trimmer look, and cold water washing prevents up to half a size of shrinkage.
- Sizing
Sizing down is recommended for a trimmer silhouette in this roomy true-to-size comfort fit.
Why this is supported
The brand's Q&A guidance confirms:
This rugby polo has a 'Comfort fit,' which is a relaxed, roomy cut. If you prefer a more traditional trim silhouette, you may want to size down, but the natural fit is already generous and true to size for most.

- Stripes

Is the stripe pattern knitted into the fabric or printed on? Will the stripes fade over time?- Care
Cold water washing prevents up to half a size of shrinkage.
Why this is supported
The brand's care research confirms that
Washing in cold water prevents thermal shrinkage that can tighten the comfort fit by up to half a size over repeated hot cycles
How to wash and maintain the thick organic cotton — cold_water_30_c, and it recommends air drying flat to prevent stretching:
air drying the rugby polo flat retains the three-dimensional thickness and the generous, relaxed silhouette, and prevents the heavy wet jersey from stretching under its own weight if hung
How to wash and maintain the thick organic cotton — air_dry_flatIt also advises using a gentle cycle:
The gentle cycle reduces the tumbling abrasion that roughens the thick jersey surface; less friction means the shirt stays softer and resists pilling for significantly longer than if washed on a normal cotton cycle.
