Product Insights
The Waffled Johnny Collar Polo by Le 31 at $50 CAD channels 1950s Italian leisurewear with a fixed V-neckline that visually lengthens the neck, a regular fit suitable for layering under an unstructured blazer, and a micro-waffle fine grid offering refined depth and enhanced color. Its moderate drape resists clinging while honeycomb cells trap warmth without bulk, and the material—71% organic cotton, 25% recycled polyester, 4% spandex—prevents sagging and bagging, though the pointed collar softens over time (preserved by laying flat to dry) and lighter colors may vary on screen. This exclusive Canadian waffle-knit Johnny collar undercuts comparable options from Madewell, J.Crew, and Eton by 50% to 80%.
