Product Insights

The Embroidered Johnny Collar Polo by Le 31 is a smart-casual shirt rooted in 1950s golf and tennis shirt heritage, featuring a flat Johnny collar with a V-neck that emphasizes exclusive colorful embroidery and layers cleanly under blazers for resort-style versatility. Its herringbone-textured organic cotton jersey drapes fluidly, feels soft on skin, and offers breathability for humid days, while the comfort fit sits between slim and relaxed. The fabric resists pilling and shape loss thanks to longer fibers, though it may shrink 3–5% on first wash, mitigated by cold gentle washing and air drying. Environmentally, it eliminates synthetic pesticides and uses significantly less water, and its organic construction is free from harsh chemicals for skin comfort.
