At $39.95 CAD, it costs roughly one-third of a Wirecutter-recommended organic button-up, balancing affordability with eco-friendly materials and a fit that anticipates shrinkage.

Deep Research
Benefits of organic cotton fabric
- Organic cotton farming eliminates synthetic pesticides, conserves water, and builds soil health—choosing this Le 31 shirt over a conventional plaid alternative directly supports farming practices with a measurably smaller environmental footprint.
- Because organic cotton is cultivated without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, the fabric carries minimal chemical residues—wearers with sensitive skin or contact dermatitis typically experience less irritation than with conventionally grown cotton shirts, making this a practical choice for all-day comfort.
- Organic cotton fibers are not chemically degraded during growth or processing, so the fabric retains its natural tensile strength—this shirt is less prone to premature pilling and shape loss after repeated washes than many conventional cotton casual shirts, extending its wearable life.
- Cotton’s cellulosic fiber structure can absorb up to 27% of its weight in moisture, and organic cotton’s untreated fibers maintain full air circulation—this shirt will feel cooler and drier through a warm commute or layered under a jacket than a polyester-blend casual shirt would.
How the price compares to similar organic cotton plaids
- Being a Simons-exclusive in-house brand designed in Canada means Le 31 cuts out the licensing and wholesale markups that inflate third-party brand pricing, allowing a $39.95 CAD sale price that lands in the range of direct-to-consumer cost structures and giving this plaid shirt a structural price advantage over comparable mall-brand organic cotton shirts.
- Wirecutter’s top casual button-up pick, the J.Crew Broken-In Organic Cotton Oxford, retails for $98 USD (~$133 CAD) — more than double Le 31’s full $59 CAD and over 3x the sale price, which positions this plaid shirt as an accessible alternative to the well-regarded mainstream standard for organic cotton shirting.

Q&A
2 answered- How does the modern fit compare to a standard slim fit in terms of chest and waist measurements?
- Our modern fit is tailored to hug the body with fitted shoulders and narrow sleeves, but it's slightly roomier than a typical slim fit. For reference, in standard dress shirt sizing, a modern fit in size M has a chest measurement of about 114 cm and a waist of about 104 cm, while a slim fit in the same size measures approximately 110 cm chest and 99 cm waist [1][2].
- Does this shirt shrink after washing, and if so, should buyers size up?
- Because this shirt is 100% organic cotton, some shrinkage can occur, especially in the first wash. To minimize shrinkage, we recommend washing in cold water and air drying or using a low heat setting. If you're concerned about fit, sticking with your usual size is generally fine, but if you prefer a more relaxed fit after washes, sizing up could be an option.
