Product Insights
Exclusive to Les Deux and Simons’ Le 31, the Esmay Two-Tone Jacquard Knit Polo delivers a durable, breathable loose fit through a woven jacquard pattern that resists fading, stretching, and sagging, with a raised 3D wave texture and ribbed trims that taper the silhouette. The 80% cotton, 20% polyamide blend offers shape retention and breathability but requires hand washing to preserve the knit structure.
- Construction
Jacquard weave prevents pattern wear and shape loss.
Why this is supported
The jacquard pattern is woven directly into the fabric, making it intrinsic.
The Jacquard loom weaves pattern directly into the fabric structure — no prints, no embellishments — just an intrinsic texture that looks premium from every angle.
promindgarments.comThis intrinsic construction means the pattern cannot crack, peel, or fade, and the denser weave stabilizes the fabric so it holds its shape:

- Care
Hand washing recommended to preserve knit structure.
Why this is supported
Les Deux recommends a specific care routine to maintain the jacquard texture and shape:
Care instructions recommend hand washing, do not tumble dry, low iron, do not dry clean, and dry flat in the shade
