Product Insights
Le 31's Minimalist Crew-Neck Sweater is an affordable ($39.95 CAD), designed-in-Canada capsule essential made from 100% recycled cotton that softens with washing and layers cleanly under blazers, but its sustainability comes at the cost of inconsistent sizing across batches and colors, requiring returns or ordering two sizes, and high-maintenance care—cold water hand wash, inside-out, and lay-flat drying—to prevent shrinkage, fading, pilling, and a wavy hem, with reduced durability compared to virgin cotton and potential warmth in heated offices.
Verified claims
- Sizing consistency
- Buyers report the same tagged size can fit differently between batches, and repeat purchases sometimes require returns.
- Shrinkage
- Buyers report the sweater can shrink or lose its shape after washing, even when washed in cold water and laid flat.
- Care
- Hand wash in cold water and lay flat to dry; avoid the dryer and high heat to minimize shrinkage and pilling.
- Color fading
- Some buyers report the color fades after washing.
- Pilling
- Washing inside-out reduces surface friction and helps minimize pilling.
- Texture
- The recycled cotton becomes softer with washing and wear rather than breaking down into pills.
- Breathability
- Lightweight and breathable for all-day wear and layering under jackets.
- Fit
- Soft, lightweight knit layers cleanly under blazers and resists wrinkling.
- Thermal comfort
- Buyers describe the sweater as warm, and one notes it can feel hot under a blazer.
- Material
- 100% reprocessed cotton breathes, ages without synthetic sheen, and softens with washing
- Durability
- Softer than virgin cotton but less durable; cold hand wash to preserve shape.
- Brand & design
- Le 31 is Simons' designed-in-Canada private label; this sweater is the entry-level capsule essential.
- Color palette
- Eight curated shades (including vibrant green and navy) for modular wardrobing.
- Sizing strategy
- Between-size buyers can size down for a closer fit or stick with their usual size for the intended drape.
- Fit details
- On the size Medium model, the shoulder seams sit slightly dropped, the sleeves reach beyond the wrist, and the hem falls at the upper hip.
- Sustainability
- The recycled cotton is reclaimed from existing fabric, so it requires essentially no agricultural water and bypasses the chemical cycle of virgin cotton.

While visiting Montreal, did some “window shopping” for Christmas gifts. Really liked the store and figured my husband loves thin sweaters, so why not buy something from a store that cares for the environment.

Perfect packaging for gifts!
Ordered 6 shirts and sweaters for my husband's Christmas gift and they arrived yesterday. Everything was packed nicely - with the price portion of the tags removed- in a green Simons box, inside a cardboard shipping box. The card with my message was tucked in, too. All I had to do was add a ribbon!

The sweater looks good and fits well. I like that it's all cotton with no synthetic materials. The price point is excellent. Only downside is the texture - surprisingly it's not as soft as I expected for 100% cotton.
