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.
- Fit
Looser and more relaxed than classic or regular fits, with extra chest/torso room and dropped shoulders.
Why this is supported
The product's comfort fit is described as:
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
How does the 'comfort fit' compare to a classic or regular fit in terms of chest and shoulder measurements?This extra room makes it particularly accommodating for broader builds, while those who prefer a slim, fitted look will find the silhouette noticeably generous.
