Velvet Shirt Modern Fit
The Velvet Shirt Modern Fit is a men's long-sleeve button-up shirt from Le 31 by Simons, designed in Canada for wear as a dress or smart-casual top. It features a classic pointed collar, a center-front button placket, single-button barrel cuffs, and a rounded hem, cut in a modern fit with fitted shoulders and narrow sleeves. The fabric is a soft, stretch velvet in a recycled-polyester blend, finished with a directional nap that produces low-sheen highlights; the inner placket and collar lining use a smoother, slightly shinier fabric in a contrasting charcoal tone.

De-wrinkling your velvet shirt
When your velvet shirt gets creased from wear or storage, avoid ironing it directly — direct ironing can crush the pile permanently. A handheld steamer passed over the reverse side of the fabric gently lifts the wrinkles instead.[2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Velvet Shirt Modern Fit: Choose this if you want an exclusive Le 31 shirt designed in Canada, made of soft stretch velvet (95% recycled polyester, 5% spandex) with a body-hugging modern fit, fitted shoulders and narrow sleeves. It suits those drawn to its plush low-sheen pile with subtle glossy highlights, pointed collar, button placket and buttoned cuffs. Note that velvet should never be ironed directly, as this can crush the pile permanently—use a handheld steamer on the reverse side to lift creases.[1,2,3,4] | Tone-On-Tone Jacquard Shirt Modern Fit: Choose this if you want a Le 31 exclusive designed in Canada: a long-sleeve white dress shirt in a modern fit cut to hug the body with fitted shoulders and narrow sleeves, in a smooth woven poly-cotton blend (53% cotton, 47% polyester) with a subtle tone-on-tone jacquard texture, forward-pointing spread collar, and single-button barrel cuffs. It suits tucked-in styling, with a curved hem that dips lower at the center back, and comes in White, Green, and Navy/Midnight Blue in sizes Small through XX-Large. Note that in the product photos minor pulling lines are visible near the placket and underarm on the worn shirt, and the listed Navy/Midnight Blue variants only go up to Large.[5,6,7,8] | Soft Stretch Shirt Modern Fit: Choose this if you want a minimalist, exclusive Le 31 dress-casual shirt with soft stretch for all-day office wear and neat layering under sweaters or blazers. It's cut in a modern fit that hugs the body with fitted shoulders and narrow sleeves, made of 65 percent recycled polyester, 33 percent organic cotton, and 2 percent spandex, and reviewers report a true-to-size body fit when following the size chart. Note that some reviewers found the sleeves run longer than other brands, so consider sizing down or planning alterations if you prefer standard sleeve lengths.[9] |
