Product Insights
Le 31's Outdoor Mini-Pattern Shirt modern Fit offers a slim, true-to-size fit for those preferring a modern silhouette, with the option to size up for a looser feel. Made from chemical-free organic cotton that softens and becomes more breathable with each wash, the shirt resists pilling and avoids brittle aging. Available in black, white, green, and navy with the same mini-pattern, the patterned black variant helps camouflage collar staining. Priced at CA$39.95 on sale, it costs more than Quince's $34.90 USD alternative but provides a modern fit and printed pattern. Not pre-shrunk (shrinks ~1%), it requires cold water washing with mild detergent, no softener, and low spin, along with pre-treating the collar for stains. Canadian-designed in Montreal.
