Le 31
Twisted Cable Jacquard Polo
This is a men's short-sleeve knit polo from the Le 31 by Simons line, designed in Canada as a Simons exclusive, featuring an all-over textured jacquard knit with twisted cables and a two-button polo collar. It is made from 100% mercerized organic cotton and is suited for casual or smart-casual wear; it is available in colours such as Slate Blue, Black, Taupe, Green, Mauve, and Ochre Yellow in sizes Small to XX-Large. This polo qualifies for Simons' Vision program due to its reduced-impact material production, and its care instructions are machine washable, do not bleach, tumble dry, and iron with or without steam.

Product Insights
The Twisted Cable Jacquard Polo from Le 31, Simons' own in-house Canadian-designed line sold only through Simons, is a CA$59 flat-priced knit whose core promise is permanent twisted-cable jacquard texture, mercerized silk-like sheen that survives repeated washing, and deep, durable color in a structured drape that holds shape and stands slightly off the body; the cables are knit into the cloth rather than printed, the jacquard runs 30–50% thicker than a plain knit of the same yarn, and mercerization lifts tensile strength 10–25% over standard cotton under ASTM D2256 while deep shades absorb 20–30% more dye and stay saturated through roughly 20 washes, with organic cotton grown to minimize pesticide and synthetic-fertilizer use and a Vision program meeting circular production or at least 50% reduced-impact materials. It carries the same twisted-cable design as Le 31's $275 cashmere version, all 30 color-size variants including XX-Large are in stock at one CA$59 price with no XX-Large upcharge, and care is ordinary machine wash, tumble dry and iron. The main tradeoff is that the denser knit wears hotter and breathes less than flat cotton jersey; the two-button front gives a shallower, more open, laid-back neckline with no midpoint and is the least jacket-friendly placket compared with a four-button dress-shirt-style placket; and shrinkage is best kept minimal with cold water and low tumble or air dry. Colorways are Black, Taupe, Green, Slate Blue, Mauve, and Ochre Yellow, though only Black is shown by default.
Verified claims
- Knit weight
- The jacquard runs 30-50% thicker than a plain knit of the same yarn
- Warmth
- The denser jacquard cable knit wears warmer and breathes less than a standard piqué polo.
- Texture
- All-over textured jacquard knit with twisted cables knitted into the cloth, not printed, so the raised relief is tactile and permanent.
- Neckline
- A two-button polo collar gives a shallower, more open, laid-back neckline with no midpoint.
- Jacket layering
- A two-button front is the least jacket-friendly placket; a four-button placket layers like a dress shirt
- Sheen
- Mercerized sheen is locked into the fibre, so it persists through repeated washing rather than dulling like a surface finish.
- Color longevity
- Deep shades absorb 20–30% more dye and hold their saturation through laundering better than un-mercerized cotton.
- Durability
- Mercerization smooths and strengthens the cotton yarn, so the knit resists pilling and holds its shape better than standard cotton.
- Sustainability
- Qualifies for Simons' Vision program because the 100% organic cotton build clears the program's 50% reduced-impact materials threshold.
- Organic sourcing
- The organic cotton is grown to minimize pesticide and synthetic-fertilizer use.
- Brand identity
- Le 31 is Simons' own in-house line, designed in Canada and sold only through Simons
- Design lineage
- Le 31's $59 polo carries the same twisted-cable design as its $275 cashmere version
- Mercerization
- Mercerization permanently restructures the cotton fibre, so the deep colour and sheen are locked in rather than a surface finish.
- Drape
- Cabled bands add structure, so the polo holds its shape and stands slightly off the body.
- Pricing
- One flat CA$59 for all 30 color-size combinations, no XX-Large upcharge
- Size availability
- All 30 color-size variants are in stock, with XX-Large available in every colorway
- Care
- Ordinary machine wash, tumble dry and iron — no dry cleaning or hand washing
- Shrinkage
- Cold water and a low tumble or air dry keep shrinkage to a minimum
- Colorway
- Six colorways — Black, Taupe, Green, Slate Blue, Mauve, Ochre Yellow — with only Black shown by default
- Colour and size range
- Comes in six colours — Slate Blue, Black, Taupe, Green, Mauve, and Ochre Yellow — in sizes Small through XX-Large.
- Shrinkage expectation
- The listing does not state a pre-shrunk treatment, so expect typical organic-cotton first-wash shrinkage of about 3–5%; cold wash and air dry keep the fit stable.
- Breathability/moisture management
- The 100% cotton knit is breathable and absorbs moisture but is not technical moisture-wicking; the denser jacquard adds weight, so hot, humid days or heavy activity will feel less dry than a performance fabric.
- Style
- Suited for casual and smart-casual wear; the two-button front and cable-jacquard texture place it in a classic, unfussy lane rather than a trend-driven or performance-sport one.

Compared within this brand.
| Twisted Cable Jacquard Polo: Choose this if you want a short-sleeve polo with a distinctive look: its all-over raised jacquard knit with a twisted cable motif gives the matte, 100% mercerized organic cotton fabric visible texture and stitch definition, and it has a knit polo collar, short button placket, and straight hem with side vents. The fit appears relaxed on the model, and the Le 31 exclusive is designed in Canada, offered in five sizes from small to XX-large and six colors including Black and Ochre Yellow. Note that the comfort claim is the brand's own phrasing, and the hem and fit are based on how the shirt drapes on the model rather than stated measurements.[1,2,3,4] | Diamond Jacquard Polo Comfort Fit: Choose this if you want a relaxed, comfort-fit polo with a distinctive raised diamond jacquard knit in an all-over lattice pattern. It is a Le 31 by Simons exclusive designed in Canada, made from a blend of 53% recycled-polyester, 45% organic cotton, and 2% elastane, with an open pointed Johnny collar and a single-button placket. It comes in Sand, Blue, and Navy/Midnight Blue across small through XX-large in most listings, though the listing's variant data for Sand does not include an X-LARGE entry.[5,6,7] | Zip-Neck Jacquard Knit Polo Comfort Fit: Choose this if you want an exclusive Le 31 polo designed in Canada with a distinctive vertical jacquard knit and a comfort fit. It pairs a zippered polo collar and ribbed edging with an organic cotton-blend knit (57% organic cotton, 28% polyester, 15% viscose), and comes in Black, Brown, and Red from Small to X-Large—though Brown skips the Small size. Its short centered zipper and solid trim details make it a polished knit option when a plain polo feels too basic.[8,9] |
