Product Insights
The Le 31 Stretch Piqué Suit Berlin Fit - Regular ($395, in stock) offers a recycled polyester that matches virgin in strength, wrinkle-resistance, and drying speed while using 50% less energy and emitting 33% less CO2, though the claim is self-declared and not GRS-certified but strengthened by Simons' oversight. The piqué knit enhances breathability for warm-weather comfort, and the fabric feels like a traditional woven suit with a slight give, not a knit-like stretch. The trousers have an unfinished hem for custom break (none, half, full), a detail typical of premium suits, and complimentary in-store hemming saves $20–$40 on tailoring, lowering effective cost below $395; however, hemming requires an in-store visit.

Deep Research
Unfinished hem: why it matters and how to tailor
- With the unfinished hem, the buyer can specify a clean no‑break crop, a subtle half break, or a full break — a decision that influences the suit’s silhouette and formality, and one that pre‑finished pants cannot accommodate without re‑hemming an existing seam, which risks an imperfect line.
- Simons offers complimentary in‑store hemming for the Berlin suit trousers, meaning the cost of professional tailoring — typically $20 to $40 at an outside alterationist — is absorbed into the purchase price, effectively upgrading the suit to a custom‑fit garment without extra spend.
- Unfinished hems are standard in better suiting because they allow a tailor to fine‑tune the pant length to the wearer's exact leg and preferred shoe break — a practice that separates tailored trousers from mass‑market, pre‑hemmed pants where the break is a one‑size compromise.
Recycled polyester from bottles: the material story
- The piqué knit — characterized by its textured, dimpled surface — naturally increases airflow compared to flat-woven polyester, so even though the base material is synthetic, the suit breathes better in warm conditions than most entry-level polyester suits; it becomes a practical choice for warm-weather formal events where breathability is valued alongside recycled credentials.
- Because Le 31 is an exclusive Simons-designed brand, the recycled polyester claim falls under the retailer's own product development mandate rather than a third-party vendor's label; this internal oversight typically aligns with greater supply chain transparency and a vested interest in upholding sustainability claims, giving the suit's eco-positioning a layer of accountability beyond unbranded market alternatives.
- Using recycled PET instead of virgin polyester reduces energy consumption by approximately 50% and lowers carbon dioxide emissions by roughly one-third, largely because it avoids crude oil extraction and the energy-heavy polymerization step; for a suit at this price, that positions it as a more climate-conscious choice within the polyester category.
- The fiber begins as discarded plastic bottles that are washed, ground into flakes, and remelted into chips before being extruded into continuous filaments — a process that does not chemically alter the polyester polymer, so the resulting yarn has the same intrinsic strength, moisture resistance, and dye affinity as virgin polyester, ensuring the suit's black color stays rich and the fabric resists sagging over time.
- Unlike some natural fiber alternatives, recycled polyester from bottles matches virgin polyester's performance metrics — it resists wrinkles, holds a crease, and dries quickly, making the suit a low-maintenance, travel-friendly option that competes on performance with conventional polyester suits while carrying a sustainability story.

Q&A
3 answered- Does the stretch fabric have a noticeable give like a knit, or does it feel like a traditional woven suit with slight stretch?
- The fabric is a stretch woven piqué, so it has a traditional suit hand feel with a bit of give, not a knit-like stretch.
- Is the unfinished hem on the pants only, or does the jacket also have an unfinished hem?
- The product description mentions an 'unfinished hem' without specifying, but in suit terminology this almost always refers to the pants. Jacket sleeve hems are typically finished.
- Is the recycled polyester certified by a third-party (e.g., GRS) or is it self-declared?
- There is no mention of a third-party certification such as GRS on the product page; the recycled content claim appears to be self-declared by the brand.
