Product Insights
The Le 31 Geometric Mini-Pattern Shirt in modern fit offers a tailored yet relaxed silhouette with looser waist and roomier chest, fitted shoulders, and tapered waist, made from breathable 100% organic cotton that retains softness and is ideal for warm-weather wear. Its mini geometric pattern adds deliberate sophistication, pairing well with casual bottoms for untucked styling. The main tradeoff is first-wash shrinkage of 3-5%, requiring sizing down for a slim fit. At a sale price of 39.95 CAD, it undercuts comparable options like Quince's organic cotton shirt.
- Fit
Modern fit: 4 in looser waist, 1 in roomier chest than slim fit, fitted shoulders, tapered waist.
Why this is supported
The brand's Q&A explains that a slim fit is typically 4 inches tighter in the waist, while the modern fit offers a slightly tapered but more relaxed waistline.

- Shrinkage
First-wash shrinkage of 3-5% means sizing down may be needed for a slim fit.
Why this is supported
According to the brand's Q&A, untreated organic cotton typically shrinks 3–5% linearly on the first wash.
For untreated 100% organic cotton, typical shrinkage on the first wash is 3–5% linear
Is the organic cotton pre-shrunk, and what is the expected shrinkage after washing?Since a slim fit is already 4 inches tighter in the waist, this shrinkage could make the shirt even tighter in a slim fit, so sizing down is a consideration for those who prefer a slim fit.
