Product Insights
The Slub Knit Polo-Collar Cardigan from Le 31, an exclusive Simons house label designed in Canada, is a cropped, button-down cardigan made from 100% recycled cotton slub knit that feels soft and breathable. Its intentionally textured fabric camouflages initial pilling and softens with wear, while the silhouette—which may relax over the course of a day—is restored with a cold machine wash, though the first wash may cause slight shrinkage typical of pure cotton knits. Priced originally at $125 CAD, it offers value at a sale price of $39.95, beating comparable styles from Joe Fresh and Le 31's own cardigan, and serves as a structured top or a cropped layer that creates visual depth and contrast with smooth fabrics.
Verified claims
- Texture aging
- Slub texture hides pilling and recycled cotton softens with wear.
- Shape recovery
- Wear relaxation is reversed with a cold machine wash and low tumble dry.
- Care
- First wash may cause slight shrinkage, typical of pure cotton knits.
- Value
- Sale price $39.95 beats Joe Fresh's $49 polo and Le 31's $79 cardigan.
- Brand origin
- Exclusive Simons house label; designed in Canada, originally $125.
- Design
- Cropped, button-front cardigan with a point collar and ribbed edging.
- Hand feel
- Intentionally textured slub knit feels soft and breathable against the skin.
- Wear over time
- Initial pilling is camouflaged; softens with wear; wash restores shape.
- Layering
- Worn alone as a structured top or cropped layer over tees or button-downs.
- Textural styling
- The slub texture is an intentional, raw-like irregular surface that gives the cardigan a distinctive hand-feel and subtle uneven visual character rather than looking like a defect.
- Fabric
- 100% recycled cotton slub knit: soft, breathable, and shape-retentive with proper care.
- Brand story
- Exclusive Le 31 label designed in Canada, with 100% recycled cotton and versatile cropped silhouette.
- Fit
- Fits true to size with a relaxed, not oversized feel; the cropped length hits above the hip.
- Customer fit note
- One reviewer found the cardigan a little too roomy, with the shoulders dropping down onto the arms, though he notes recent weight loss may be a factor.
- Value
- At $39.95, the cardigan undercuts Le 31's own $79 Rib-Jersey Polo-Collar Cardigan by about 50%, making it the most accessible entry into the brand's polo-collar cardigan family.

| Slub Knit Polo-Collar Cardigan: Choose this if you want a cropped, boxy cardigan with a relaxed fit and a pointed polo-style collar, cut from a soft 100% recycled (reprocessed) cotton slub knit with an irregular, nubby texture. It buttons down the front with five dark buttons and finishes with ribbed cuffs and a wide ribbed hem band in the same yarn and color as the body. Note the variant list shows sizes unevenly across colors — for example, Medium appears only in Coral and Ecru/Linen is listed only in X-Large — so check which size and color pair you need.[1,2,3] | Fuzzy Knit Polo-Collar Cardigan: Choose this if you want a soft, fuzzy knit cardigan with a small polo collar, full button front, and ribbed hem and cuffs, available in Charcoal, Brown, or Mint from size small to x-large. It has a slightly relaxed fit, long sleeves, and a lightweight feel, and is listed by the merchant as 60% reprocessed nylon and 40% acrylic, though one listing describes the knit as 100% recycled cotton, so confirm the composition if that matters to you.[4,5,6,7,8,9] | Zipped Polo-Collar Waffled Jersey Cardigan Standard Fit: Choose this if you want a short-sleeve layering piece with a polo collar and an exposed full-length metal zipper, made from a stretchy waffle-textured jersey of 75% organic cotton, 20% polyester, and 5% LYCRA® elastane with striped rib-knit trim at the collar and cuffs. It comes in a standard fit that sits at the waist, in Off White or Mossy Green across sizes SMALL through XX-LARGE, and customer reviewers (as reported by a reviews analysis) praised the fabric quality and called the zipper easy to wear and layer. Note that the sleeves are short, ending above the elbow, so it suits warm-weather or indoor wear rather than a full-length cardigan.[10,11,12,13] |
