Product Insights
The Minimalist Soft Twill Shacket from Selected is a relaxed blazer alternative in a recycled polyester-blend twill that resists wrinkles, sheds light rain and wind, and provides stretch and partial lining for ease of movement. Designed as part of a two-piece set with matching pants, it drapes like a lightweight coat and maintains shape throughout the day. Its core tradeoff is temperature versatility: it functions well as a light jacket in 10–15°C or as a midlayer under a heavy coat, but is not sufficient for freezing temperatures alone. The Indigo/Dark Blue shade reads as deep navy, coordinating exactly with the pant for a cohesive, practical ensemble.

Deep Research
The story behind 'Selected at Le 31'
- The 'Selected at Le 31' designation signals a joint effort where the Danish brand Selected, known for functional minimalism, creates pieces exclusively for Simons' Le 31 line, giving this shacket a dual heritage of Scandinavian utility and Canadian retail curation — a point of differentiation that a generic Selected piece lacks.
- Le 31 is Simons' own premium private label, conceived to offer refined, contemporary wardrobe staples with a focus on quality materials and modern cuts — so this shacket is underpinned by a design mandate that goes beyond basic high-street production, targeting the shopper who expects a more considered garment.
- Le 31 designed this shacket to function as a jacket in a two-piece set, complete with a matching pant, positioning it within the suit separates category rather than as a lone outerwear piece — for the buyer, that means it's intended to be worn as a relaxed alternative to a blazer, with proportions and details (like the partial lining for movement) calibrated for that role.
How recycled polyester twill feels and wears
- Recycled polyester fibers are more pill-resistant than cotton blends, so the soft-drape finish should remain smooth through repeated wear and washing, though high-contact zones like the inner collar and cuffs may eventually develop a subtle sheen that adds to the piece's lived-in urban character rather than reading as worn-out.
- Because polyester fibers are hydrophobic, the heavy twill sheds light rain and dries noticeably faster than cotton flannel — if you're caught in a drizzle between the train and the office, the shacket won't cling cold and wet, and the dense weave acts as a practical windbreaker on cool, breezy days.
- The polyester-blend twill naturally resists the elbow creases and shoulder rumpling that cotton shackets develop after a few hours of wear, so it maintains its structured collar and crisp placket through a full workday, making it a stronger candidate for ‘dress-down Friday’ than a standard cotton counterpart.
- The twill construction — with its diagonal ribs — gives the fabric enough heft that it falls in clean, modulated folds rather than crumpling, which is why the ‘soft drape’ descriptor is more than marketing: even as an unlined body, it hangs like a lightweight coat and avoids the boxy stiffness of cheaper flat-woven polyester shells.
- The partial lining — likely in the sleeves — paired with the fabric's inherent slipperiness removes the grab that would otherwise cause the shacket to hitch up when reaching forward or wrapping an arm around a chair back; the result is a midlayer that moves with you while keeping the outer shell from bunching.
- Where a cotton twill shacket typically has a brushed, matte, flannel-like nap that reads workwear, recycled polyester twill in a soft-drape finish has a smoother, slightly silken hand with a subtle sheen — this gives the shacket a more city-appropriate, minimal-tech aesthetic that can sit under a coat without friction and over a merino knit without looking slouchy.

Q&A
4 answered- How does the sizing compare to a standard men's suit jacket? Should I size up if I intend to layer a sweater underneath?
- This shacket has a more relaxed fit than a typical suit jacket. If you plan to layer a sweater underneath, we recommend sizing up — experts suggest adding 5–8 cm of ease across the chest for layering [2].
- What is the fabric weight (grams per square meter)? Is it suitable for temperatures around freezing?
- The exact GSM isn't listed, but the fabric is described as a thick, stretch recycled polyester-blend twill. For reference, quality shackets typically range from 200 to 350 g/m² [3]. As a midweight layer, it's not designed for freezing temperatures alone — it works best as a light jacket in cool weather or as a midlayer under a heavier coat.
- Is the 'Indigo/Dark Blue' color similar to a traditional denim indigo, or is it a more solid darker shade?
- The 'Indigo/Dark Blue' color is a solid, darker shade — it's not a washed or variegated denim indigo. It reads as a deep blue similar to a dark navy, with a consistent finish across the fabric.
- How much stretch does the fabric have? Is it comfortable for active movement?
- The fabric is a stretch recycled polyester-blend twill that offers good give, and the partial lining is designed to allow greater ease of movement. It will be comfortable for active wear like bending or reaching, but it's not a performance athletic piece.
