Product Insights
The Herringbone-Knit Collar Jersey Polo by Le 31 combines the relaxed comfort fit of a tee with the crisp structure of a polo, using stretch organic cotton jersey that drapes softly, breathes in warm weather, resists pilling, and recovers shape to keep the collar and front panel crisp. Its jacquard-knitted herringbone collar won't crack, peel, or fade, and the five curated colors treat the polo as an outfit anchor. This is from Simons' contemporary in-house brand with a 180-year family-run heritage.
