Product Insights
The 100% European Linen Zipped Overshirt from Le 31, a Simons private label, is a breathable summer-weight garment made from certified Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ linen sourced from the European flax belt, with long-staple flax delivering a smooth hand, subtle slubs, and a subdued sheen that softens after a handful of gentle washes while resisting pilling. Its clean drape and balanced silhouette over a tee hold best when the chest and shoulders have room, because this pure-linen weave lacks stretch — unlike a spandex-blended alternative — so a snug fit can strain the zipper or pull the center front. Offered in S through XX-L at one price and designed to pair with matching shorts and pants, it is currently out of stock in every size and asks for cold, gentle machine washing and line drying.
Verified claims
- Certification
- Certified 100% Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ linen from Europe's flax belt.
- Hand
- 50–90 cm European flax staple makes this linen smooth, with natural slubs and a subdued sheen.
- Drape
- Non-stretch linen drapes cleanly only with enough room through the chest and shoulders.
- Seasonal adaptability
- Roughly 120–160 GSM summer-weight linen with more airflow than cotton, viscose, or polyester.
- Breathability
- 100% linen outscored cotton, viscose and polyester on airflow, moisture and vapour permeability (CETELOR, 2014).
- Ageing
- Softens after 5–10 washes, gains unique wrinkles, resists pilling and weakening with age.
- Care
- Recommended care is a cold gentle wash, air-drying flat, and steam-ironing while damp.
- Brand heritage
- Le 31 is one of Simons' private labels, and Simons is Canada's oldest private, family-owned retailer.
- Origin fibre quality
- European-origin long-staple flax makes this linen smoother and slower to pill than short-fibre linen.
- Stretch
- Simons' houndstooth zipped overshirt adds 2% spandex; this 100% linen zip front can't give with chest movement.
- Silhouette
- Linen weave falls naturally, keeping a clean balanced silhouette over a tee.
- Matching set
- Matching shorts 6772-212313 and pants 6772-212309 are sold in the same linen.
- Texture
- Visible linen slubs are a signature of long-staple European flax, not defects.
- Fit tradeoff
- 100% linen gives no stretch, so snug sizing strains along the zipper; leave chest and shoulder ease.
- Stock status
- All sizes SMALL through XX-LARGE are currently out of stock at the same price.
- Layering fit
- 100% linen gives no stretch when zipped over a T-shirt; check chest and shoulder fit.
- Size options
- SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE, X-LARGE and XX-LARGE share one price and each maps to a stable item ID.
- Lining / layering
- Unlined and designed as a light summer outer layer; it can be worn over a T-shirt or tank without added warmth.
- Certification
- Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ is an origin-and-traceability certification for European flax, verified by independent third-party audits through Bureau Veritas.
- Zipper construction
- The full-length metallic zipper is exposed, with no fabric placket or chin guard specified, so it sits directly at the neckline when fully zipped.
- Fit type
- The listing does not specify a fitted or relaxed cut, but similar Le 31 shirts are described as having a modern fit that hugs the body with fitted shoulders and narrow sleeves.

Audiences, workflows, and fit — coordinated_linen_set
For shoppers building a matching summer outfit, the product record identifies specific companion pieces — matching short 6772-212313 and pant 6772-212309 — that pair with this overshirt, which lets a coordinated linen set be assembled from the same Le 31 range rather than guessing at a compatible shade or weight.[1]
