Product Insights
The Le 31 Sports Team Soccer Polo comfort Fit reinterprets 1950s–60s leisurewear with a relaxed, dropped-shoulder silhouette and a vintage buttonless Johnny collar, delivering a smooth, crisp athletic hand feel from 100% recycled polyester mesh. Micro-perforations provide passive cooling, while the fabric matches virgin polyester in tensile strength and abrasion resistance. Sourcing and production save 59% energy and divert about 60 bottles per kilogram. At $59, it undercuts comparable third-party styles through house-brand efficiencies, exclusive to Simons and designed in Canada. The trade-off: a looser fit than classic or regular cuts, and care requires cold washing, air-drying, a mesh bag, and no bleach to protect the fibers.

Deep Research
Wash care and lifespan for recycled polyester
- Placing the polo in a fine-mesh laundry bag before washing shields the micro-perforated surface from snags against zippers, hooks, or rough fabrics, dramatically reducing pilling and elongation of the perforations — a habit linked to multi-year durability in similar recycled-polyester sportswear.
- Tumble drying exposes the lightweight jersey to heat that can permanently set wrinkles and stretch the fabric; air drying indoors is the only safe drying method for this style, preserving the micro-perforations' shape and avoiding the shrinkage that sustained high heat can cause in recycled polyester.
- The micro-perforated recycled polyester should be washed at 30°C or below to prevent heat from weakening the fiber structure and potentially deforming the perforations; higher washing temperatures can also trigger dye bleeding, fading deep black or vibrant accent colors more quickly.
- Bleach and strong stain removers degrade the recycled polyester fibers and can eat into the fine edges of the micro-perforations; a mild synthetic-specific detergent preserves the shirt's hand feel and keeps the perforations crisp, while an occasional white-vinegar rinse resets odor-causing buildup without coating the threads.
The Johnny collar and its sporty roots
- The Johnny collar's return in the 2020s is tied to the rise of minimalist aesthetics and the revival of vintage menswear, so wearing this polo signals an awareness of current fashion's shift toward unfussy, heritage-leaning sportswear.
- The Johnny collar design was popularized as a staple of mid-century leisurewear and European summer style, so this soccer polo inherits a retro, Riviera-informed silhouette that reads as vintage-inspired rather than purely athletic.
- With no buttons and a fixed open placket, the Johnny collar creates a cleaner, more natural V-shaped neckline that visually lengthens the neck — a contrast to the adjustable 2–3 button placket of a classic polo, giving this comfort-fit shirt a softer, less regimented drape.
Le 31 and Simons: an exclusive design
- Le 31 spans from $29 CAD for a jersey tank to $150 CAD for a jacquard shirt, with this polo at $59 CAD — putting the brand in the affordable-to-mid bracket, where you're buying house-designed fashion without the premium markup of a boutique label or the quality compromise of basic fast fashion.
- The pointed Johnny collar appears across Le 31's polo and jersey range — described as 'rib-knit open pointed Johnny collar' on the Chevron Weft Soccer Jersey and 'striped, ribbed knit Johnny collar' on the Sporty Johnny Collar Polo — giving the brand a consistent sporty-retro aesthetic that ties the assortment together, so this polo reads as part of a deliberate design language rather than an isolated piece.
- Le 31 is developed and sourced directly by La Maison Simons, the Canadian department store — unlike third-party brands, that vertical integration gives Simons control over design, quality, and pricing, which typically translates to better value and a curated aesthetic rather than off-the-rack generic sportswear.
- Recycled polyester from plastic bottles is not just this polo's fabric — the Le 31 line uses reprocessed and mixed recycled fibers in other items, including a solid long-sleeve T-shirt made from a blend of reprocessed cotton and recycled polyester, establishing sustainability as a consistent house value rather than a single-product marketing play.
How it compares to similar soccer polos
- Le 31 is a Simons-only brand developed in Canada, so this polo carries an exclusive, local-design story that mass-market fan gear and offshore wholesale alternatives cannot claim — a subtle differentiator for buyers who prefer their kit to have regional provenance.
- The micro-perforated structure creates passive airflow channels through the fabric, giving it a mechanical cooling advantage over solid-knit polyester polos — useful for on-pitch mobility or warm-weather match viewing where a standard polo might trap heat.
- Unlike the blended cotton-pique polos common at this price tier, the Le 31 is built entirely from recycled plastic bottles (micro-perforated jersey), making it a 100% post-consumer textile that wraps an environmental story into a game-day staple.
Performance and impact of recycled polyester
- Producing recycled polyester (rPET) requires roughly 59% less energy and generates 71% lower carbon dioxide emissions per ton than virgin polyester, so this shirt carries a meaningfully smaller climate impact before it ever reaches the field.
- Recycled polyester fibers deliver tensile strength of 35–85 cN/tex, identical to virgin polyester, so this polo resists stretching and tearing under active play just as capably as a conventional sport jersey.
- Each kilogram of recycled polyester jersey diverts approximately 60 post-consumer plastic bottles from the waste stream, giving every polo a direct, quantifiable link to reducing ocean and landfill plastic.
- Side-by-side fabric testing at Heriot-Watt University found recycled polyester delivered very positive abrasion-resistance results, meaning this polo will withstand the friction of backpacks, gear bags, or diving on turf without premature pilling or surface wear.

Q&A
3 answered- How does the 'comfort fit' compare to a classic or regular fit in terms of chest and shoulder measurements?
- This comfort fit is looser and more relaxed than a classic or regular fit, with extra room in the chest and torso and slightly dropped shoulders [1][2]. Regular fits have more shape and follow the body more closely, while classic fits are a straight, comfortable cut [2][9].
- Is the micro-perforated polyester jersey soft to the touch, or does it have a typical athletic polyester feel?
- Micro-perforated polyester jersey typically has a smooth, slightly crisp athletic feel rather than a soft, cotton-like hand. The recycled polyester content does not significantly change the texture.
- How do the accent prints and embroidery hold up after multiple washes (e.g., do they fade or crack)?
- Embroidery is extremely durable and shows no degradation after 50+ washes [3][4]. The longevity of accent prints depends on the printing method; screen printing can last 50–100 washes, while heat-transfer vinyl may crack or peel after 30–50 washes [3][4].
