Product Insights
Le 31's modern fit shirt blends 65% recycled polyester from bottles with 35% organic cotton, offering wrinkle resistance, moisture wicking, and shape retention that softens with washes. The fit is snug through the chest and shoulders but loose at the waist, which can cause a muffin-top when tucked, making it best for untucked casual wear; athletic builds may need to size up, trading shoulder comfort for extra waist fullness.

Deep Research
Organic cotton and recycled polyester blend performance
- The organic cotton component — grown without synthetic pesticides — brings a noticeably softer, more breathable hand-feel than conventional cotton, and because organic fibers aren't weakened by chemical processing, the shirt gets even more comfortable with every wash cycle.
- The polyester in this shirt is made from post-consumer plastic bottles — a standard garment repurposes roughly 6–8 bottles — and the rPET production process cuts energy consumption roughly in half compared to virgin polyester, making the shirt a direct plastic waste diverter with a lower carbon load.
- Because the recycled polyester content elevates the blend's wrinkle resistance and quick-drying ability, the shirt emerges from a dryer or line-dry cycle with a naturally crisp look — no mandatory ironing, and no special care instructions needed for the stretch to survive.
- Recycled polyester/organic cotton blends of this type are characterized by moderate-to-high breathability and high moisture-wicking, so the shirt actively pulls sweat away from the body and dries quickly — a significant advantage over 100% cotton shirts in humid or active settings.
- The recycled polyester's dimensional stability, combined with the absence of elastane, keeps the shirt from distorting — it resists the collar-curl, cuff-bagging, and body-stretching that shorten the life of pure-cotton or spandex-blend shirts, especially when worn frequently through summer.

Nouvel coupe horrible
Avant cette chemise était offerte en coupe Semi fit, elle était parfait maintenant cette coupe les classe avec les chemise normale
Confortable
Légère et très agréable à porter
The shirt muffins when tucked in, not slim fit
Chest was snug but there was too much fabric around the belly and waist which made it muffin when tucked in. Does not flatter a slim body type.
Q&A
1 answered- How does the modern fit work for men with broader shoulders or athletic builds—is there enough room in the shoulders and chest without being baggy elsewhere?
- This modern fit is designed to hug the body with fitted shoulders and narrow sleeves [2], so it may feel snug in the shoulders and chest for those with broader builds. If you have an athletic build, you might want to size up for a more comfortable fit.
