Product Insights

Bouclé-Like Check Shirt Seoul Collection 100% cotton weave, not a cotton-poly blend. Pulled threads are worked through the fabric to create an all-over bouclé-like check, not an appliqué or isolated patch texture. True regular fit; most shoppers take their normal size, but sizing up is safer if wearing it open over a long-sleeve tee. Raised bouclé loops can catch on seatbelts, bags, jewelry and watch clasps; cuffs, pocket edges and inner forearms are first friction points. Machine wash; do not bleach; do not tumble dry; dry flat or hang.

Bouclé-Like Check Shirt Seoul Collection: Choose this if you want a long-sleeve button-up in 100% cotton with a distinctive pulled-thread, bouclé-like texture and a black-and-white check plaid. The regular-fit shirt features a point collar with topstitching, round pearlescent buttons, buttoned barrel cuffs, and a curved hem that extends below the waist, offered in Black in sizes SMALL, MEDIUM, and LARGE. Note that the texture is bouclé-like by design rather than actual bouclé fabric, and on the model shown the hem sits mid-thigh, partially covering the hips.^[1,2,3,4]	Windowpane Check Lightweight Shirt Imported From Seoul: Choose this if you want a featherweight, cotton-blend shirt (80% cotton, 20% polyester) with a windowpane check on a dark base, a regular fit, and a curved shirttail hem, styled as imported from Seoul and offered exclusively by Le 31. It has long sleeves with single-button cuffs, a point collar, a back yoke with a center pleat, and comes in black in small, medium, and large. Note that the listed color option is black only, and its crinkled, lightweight drape suits a relaxed, layered look rather than a crisp pressed finish.^[5,6,7,8,9]	Lightweight Mini-Check Shirt Imported From Seoul: Choose this if you want a lightweight, loose-fit short-sleeve shirt for warm-weather layering: it is made of an 80% cotton, 20% polyester woven fabric with a soft drape, cut boxy with sleeves ending above the elbow and a hem that falls below the waist, so it works worn open over a tee. It suits shoppers drawn to a small-scale mini-check pattern across the whole shirt, a point collar, and small dark buttons, in a Navy/Midnight Blue colorway imported from Seoul exclusively for Le 31. Note it is only offered in small, medium, and large, and the same-brand Corn/Vanilla Yellow color is not listed in a small size if you were considering that option instead.^{[10,11,12,13]}

Discussion of polyester jacquard jacket quality and price
I'm just saying in this case polyester isn't even a poor choice because it's jacquard, it's actually durable and holds shape well (assuming it was made properly that is). And compared to other similar brands the price isn't even outlandish for what it is.
