Product Insights
The Etched Stripe Linen Shirt in boxy fit from Le 31 is a value-driven alternative to typical hundred-dollar shirts, at $79 (often on sale for $39.95). It uses certified European flax and organic cotton—rain-fed, field-retted, independently audited for European origin—which eliminates the scratchiness of new linen and reduces wrinkling. The boxy silhouette functions as an active chimney, pulling air over the skin for cooling on still, hot days. However, the cotton-linen blend shrinks 3-5% on first wash; to preserve the intended fit and breathability, buyers must wash cold and air dry.
Verified claims
- Cultivation
- Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ requires field retting and rain-fed cultivation.
- Certification integrity
- Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ guarantees European origin and independent audits.
- Cooling
- The boxy fit acts as an active chimney, pulling air over the skin on still, hot days.
- Shrinkage
- Linen blends typically shrink 3–5% in length and 2–4% in width on the first wash; size up if between sizes and wash cold, air dry to minimize shrinkage.
- Material
- Certified European flax and organic cotton blend - softer, cooler, less wrinkled.
- Fit
- Soft drape fits various shapes; expect 3-5% shrinkage on first wash.
- Sourcing quality
- Masters of FLAX FIBRE linen made from rain-fed European flax grown without irrigation.
- Care instructions
- Wash cold (30°C max) on a gentle cycle, turn inside out, and air dry flat or on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight; avoid the dryer to prevent permanent shrinkage; iron medium heat with steam while slightly damp. The cotton blend also reduces creasing.
- Break-in
- Organic cotton eliminates the scratchiness of new linen, requiring no break-in.
- Hand feel
- Cotton blend makes linen soft and fluid without losing its crisp texture.
- Design exclusivity
- Exclusive etched stripe design from Simons' house brand avoids the wholesale markup of imported boutique shirts.
- Certified fiber content
- The linen in this shirt is Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ certified European flax from France, Belgium, or the Netherlands, and the blend includes organic cotton for a softer hand.
- Pre-shrunk status
- The product does not specify that it is pre-shrunk; if in between sizes, size up and use cold water plus air drying to minimize shrinkage.
- Breathability
- The linen-cotton blend circulates air more freely than an all-cotton shirt, with less cling and a noticeable cooling effect above 25°C.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Etched Stripe Linen Shirt Boxy Fit: Choose this if you want a lightweight, breathable short-sleeve shirt in a relaxed boxy cut, made of 55% Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ linen and 45% organic cotton, with thin vertical pinstripes, a camp-style spread collar, and a straight cropped hem that sits above the hips. Its loose dropped-shoulder silhouette and wide sleeves suit wear as an open layering piece over a tee or tank. It comes in Pink and Light Blue, though the Light Blue color is listed only in X-LARGE and XX-LARGE sizes.[1,2,3] | Vertical-Stripe Linen Shirt Comfort Fit: Choose this if you want a relaxed, straight-cut long-sleeve shirt with room to move in the shoulders and sleeves, made from a lightweight, breathable blend of 55% Masters of FLAX FIBRE linen and 45% organic cotton. It suits warm-weather or layering wardrobes with its vertical multicolor stripes, spread collar, single-button cuffs, and curved hem that extends below the hips on the model. Note that the woven fabric is semi-sheer in places where layers overlap, which may matter if you prefer more opacity.[4,5,6] | Vertical Twin-Stripe Linen Shirt Modern Fit: Choose this if you want a lightweight, breathable warm-weather shirt: it is made of 55% Masters of FLAX FIBRE linen and 45% organic cotton, with short sleeves that end above the elbow and a simple turned hem with no cuff. Its modern fit is cut to hug the body with fitted shoulders and narrow sleeves, while a center back box pleat adds ease and the curved hem extends below the waistline. The lilac-toned vertical twin-stripe pattern is offered in Medium, Large, and X-Large; one image analysis instead describes the upper front as showing long sleeves, though the listing specifies short sleeves.[7,8,9,10] |
