Product Insights
Le 31's Exotic Flower Linen Shirt (comfort fit) combines 55% Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ linen (European, rain-fed, GMO-free, zero-waste) with 45% organic cotton for immediate softness that deepens with each wash, resists wrinkles, and holds shape over time. The breathable camp-collar cut and straight fit allow airflow and reduce cling, while the exclusive brown floral print, designed in-house for Simons, develops a muted vintage patina with age—a tradeoff that can be tempered by styling with a French tuck or layering. Private-label pricing (consistently marked down to $39.95) delivers certified fabric and 1950s heritage at accessible cost.
- Fit
Comfort fit has room in shoulders and sleeves and a straight cut; modern fit is fitted and narrow.
Why this is supported
The comfort fit is explicitly described as a straight cut with room to move in the shoulders and sleeves.
Our comfort fit features a straight cut with room to move in the shoulders and sleeves
modesens.com. This provides unrestricted movement for activities like driving or reaching. In contrast, the modern fit
is cut to hug the body with fitted shoulders and narrow sleeves
lyst.com. The looser silhouette also minimizes fabric contact, amplifying the linen-cotton blend's breathability in warm weather. The relaxed cut naturally lends itself to casual, resort styling, while the modern fit yields a sharper line. Le 31 consistently defines these two fits across their shirt range, so the difference is predictable.

The blend of 45% organic cotton provides immediate softness against the skin,
You get immediate comfort from the cotton in the very first wear, while linen adds strength, airflow, and character.
allnicethings.inThis initial comfort is enhanced by the linen's progressive softening:
With every wash, the fibers loosen gently, making the fabric noticeably softer without losing strength.
allnicethings.inThe combination achieves a soft hand feel while preserving breathability:
Blending linen with softer, more supple fibers like cotton, viscose, or modal makes the fabric feel less coarse while maintaining a good degree of breathability.
fabricmaterialguide.comThus the shirt offers both immediate and long-term comfort.
- Performance
Breathable linen-cotton blend gives first-wear comfort, then softens and holds shape while resisting wrinkles.
Why this is supported
The cotton-linen blend balances immediate and long-term comfort:
You get immediate comfort from the cotton in the very first wear, while linen adds strength, airflow, and character.

- Adoption
Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ certified by 1,595 companies in 37 countries.
Why this is supported
The Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ program has substantial market backing:
demand for Masters of FLAX-FIBRE™ certification has risen significantly by +807% in five years, bringing the number of certified companies to 1,595 in 37 countries by September 2025.
allianceflaxlinenhemp.euThis rapid growth means the badge is far from obscure.
- Value
Private-label pricing delivers certified linen with organic cotton at $39.95.
Why this is supported
Because Le 31 is Simons’s private-label brand, it bypasses wholesale margins. This allows the shirt to combine certified linen and organic cotton at its sale price of $39.95—a quality that would cost significantly more from a traditional brand.
- Fabric feel
Starts soft from first wear and becomes softer with each wash.
Why this is supported
Material research confirms the 45% organic cotton provides immediate softness out of the package:
You get immediate comfort from the cotton in the very first wear, while linen adds strength, airflow, and character.
allnicethings.inThe Masters of FLAX linen then softens progressively with each wash.
With every wash, the fibers loosen gently, making the fabric noticeably softer without losing strength.
allnicethings.inOver months, this process allows the fabric to mold to the wearer's body, creating a personalized drape.
- Shape retention
Cotton content prevents the shirt from stretching out of shape over time.
Why this is supported
The cotton content provides structural integrity that preserves the comfort-fit silhouette as the linen softens:
Linen-cotton shirts follow the same path, where cotton helps preserve the shape, while linen continues to soften over time.
allnicethings.inThis prevents the shirt from stretching out or losing its intended cut through repeated washes.
- Color patina
Brown floral print develops a muted vintage patina with age.
Why this is supported
Linen's natural color softening will gradually mute the brown floral print over time.
Over time, linen shirts become softer in color and more fluid in texture.
allnicethings.inThe dark brown base of the Exotic Flower print is particularly well-suited to this aging process, creating a vintage patina that reinforces the shirt's resort aesthetic.
Start with dark backgrounds — navy, charcoal, or black bases make any floral pattern more sophisticated and easier to style than bright or white backgrounds.
outfittrends.comThis ensures the shirt develops character rather than looking faded.
- Styling
French tuck or open-over-tee layering reduces the floral print's visual impact.
Why this is supported
The shirt's pyjama-style collar creates a V-neck opening:
Yes, the pyjama-style open collar is a camp collar with a V-neck opening. The shirt features a button front closure, typical of camp collar shirts.
Is the pyjama-style collar a camp collar with a V-neck opening, and does it have a button closure?This invites layering with simple tees, and
Tip: Wear floral shirts open over plain tees to reduce the pattern’s impact while still getting the style benefits.
outfittrends.comTo further reduce the print's presence, a French tuck adds a polished touch:
Try a simple French tuck. It’s the insouciant detail that nails styling while also showing off your belt.

One statement piece per outfit is the rule that never fails.

The floral print is exclusive to Simons, designed in-house in Canada.
Why this is supported
The exotic flower print is not a mass-market pattern:

lyst.comThis means the shirt's print is unique to Simons and cannot be found elsewhere.
- Heritage
Camp collar, a 1950s leisurewear staple adopted by style icons, is recreated in this shirt's straight cut.
Why this is supported
The pyjama-style open collar is a direct continuation of the camp collar design that originated in 1950s leisurewear. As noted,
A style staple of the 1950’s, camp collar shirts are characterized by their lack of collar band (making the collar a little floppy), short sleeves, and a loose, straight-cut fit.
