Product Insights
The Le 31 Ribbed Responsible Merino Wool Polo is a dress polo made from 100% responsibly sourced merino wool with third-party audited animal welfare and land management. Its fine 1x1 rib knit provides natural stretch, shape recovery, and a smooth, non-prickly feel, making it suitable for three-season wear. Priced at $39.95 CAD, it undercuts rivals and offers odor resistance (tested 15 wears in 60 days with no odor), easy care (wear 15+ times between washes), and minimal shrinkage. Designed in Canada and exclusive to Simons, it serves as a breathable, low-bulk layering piece for business-casual looks year-round.
Verified claims
- Rib knit structure
- 1x1 rib knit provides natural stretch, shape recovery, and a smooth, non-prickly feel.
- Shape retention
- 1×1 rib knit: 2–3× jersey stretch recovery, zero-curl edges.
- Fit
- 1×1 rib knit stretches crosswise for a fitted shape, no elastane.
- Texture
- Fine rib knit reduces prickling and gives a polished micro-texture.
- Knit construction
- Fine rib knit has 2-3x better stretch recovery than jersey and suits warm weather.
- Sourcing & design
- Designed in Canada; sourced from certified responsible farms with third-party animal welfare and land audits comparable to the Responsible Wool Standard.
- Certification
- 100% responsible merino wool: farms are third-party audited for animal welfare (mulesing ban), land management, and social standards.
- Styling range
- The four-button placket and fine knit make this a dress polo for business-casual layering under a sport coat.
- Price value
- At $39.95 CAD, this dress polo is cheaper than any other 100% merino polo.
- Odor resistance
- Merino naturally resists odor; a 60-day wear test of a 100% merino garment produced no odor after 15 wears.
- Seasonal range
- Breathable in summer, insulating in fall—three-season wear.
- Care
- Merino naturally resists odor, so the polo can often be worn multiple times between washes; cool water, gentle cycle, and air drying flat minimize shrinkage, and turning it inside out before washing reduces pilling.
- Pilling
- Electric fabric shaver removes any pills without damaging the knit.
- Storage
- Store folded with cedar or lavender to prevent moth damage.
- Sizing
- True to size with minimal shrinkage, stretch recovery, and no prickling.
- Layering
- Breathable, low-bulk layering piece for wearing under a sport coat.
- Exclusivity
- Exclusive Simons house-brand, designed in Canada, from responsible wool collection; at its sale price it undercuts the next-cheapest 100% merino polo by a wide margin.
- Design quality
- Dress-polo four-button collar, fine ribbed knit provides 2-3x stretch recovery and natural odor resistance for multiple wears.
- Skin sensitivity
- A fine merino polo like this one is safe for wearers who typically avoid wool due to skin sensitivity or eczema concerns.
- Animal welfare
- The certified-farm sourcing prohibits mulesing and adheres to the Five Freedoms of animal welfare.
- Land stewardship
- The certified responsible farms protect soil health, conserve water, and maintain biodiversity.
- Moisture management
- Merino's hygroscopic property wicks moisture away from the skin, preventing damp cling so the polo stays dry and soft through temperature swings.
- Customer reception
- Buyers describe the polo as light, comfortable, and well-tailored with great ribbed detailing.
- Fabric softener caution
- Avoid fabric softener to preserve the polo's breathability and springy hand.
