Product Insights
Jack & Jones' Johnny-collar polo, exclusive to Simons' Le 31 line, combines 1950s sportswear heritage with 2020s minimalist revival, featuring a buttonless V-neck that lengthens the neck and showcases its structured flat-knit texture. The 100% cotton knit is breathable, biodegradable, and hypoallergenic, absorbing 25-27x its weight in moisture and regulating temperature for seasonal versatility. Its soft touch is preferred by 84% of consumers, but the relaxed fit may require sizing down compared to similar Jack & Jones knits, and gentle washing is necessary to prevent shrinkage. At $45 CAD, it offers an accessible price point for a curated, Canadian-designed piece.

Deep Research
The Johnny collar: style and origins
- Without buttons to interrupt the front, the collar forms a clean V that reads as more architectural and modern than a traditional polo — this is the design move that lets the knit texture take center stage and makes the polo versatile enough to dress up or down without appearing either sloppy or overly sporty.
- As of 2024, the Johnny collar is central to a broader menswear revival of '80s and '90s polo silhouettes — its return is fueled by minimalist aesthetics and a renewed appetite for vintage menswear, so choosing this now reads as current but informed, not trend-chasing.
- The fixed open V flatters by visually lengthening the neck and balancing broader shoulders, which means this polo tends to look proportionally better on a wider range of builds than either a crew-neck or a fully fastened classic polo.
- Referred to interchangeably as the Italian collar, this design draws from Mediterranean tailoring — the open, unbuttoned neckline carries an inherent ease that aligns the polo with the sprezzatura of Italian style, giving it a more refined, less preppy personality than a button-down collar.
- The Johnny collar first gained popularity in the 1950s and '60s as a feature of golf and tennis shirts before becoming a signature of European summer style, so wearing it today channels a Riviera-informed, vintage sophistication that moves this polo beyond a simple sports top.
Why 100% cotton matters in a knit polo
- Whereas synthetic fibers cling to body oils and odor-causing bacteria even through a wash cycle, 100% cotton naturally releases dirt and odor molecules during laundering, so the polo stays genuinely fresher between wears — a real-world advantage for commutes and all-day shifts.
- A 100% cotton garment fully biodegrades in just a few months at end-of-life, returning to the earth instead of shedding microplastics for centuries like polyester blends — for anyone weighing the environmental footprint of their wardrobe, this alone draws a hard line between the two.
- 100% cotton can absorb 25–27 times its own weight in moisture and release it quickly, actively pulling sweat off the skin and drying noticeably faster than a typical cotton read — a behavior polyester blends undermine by trapping moisture and leaving a clinging, sticky sensation.
- Over 84% of consumers choose cotton for its plush texture, and this lightweight knit amplifies that inherent gentleness, delivering a next-to-skin experience that even the best cotton-poly blend can’t replicate because synthetic fibers always add a subtle coarseness.
- Cotton’s dermatologist-recommended status for sensitive skin comes from its inability to build static electricity, attracting less dust and cutting skin friction — for anyone who has experienced itching or irritation from synthetic-blend polos, this is the safer, more comfortable choice.
The Le 31 connection
- Le 31 is the in-house menswear label of Canadian retailer Simons, built around exclusive, modern designs with a focus on movement and a flawless look — the 'Jack & Jones at Le 31' tag on this polo signals that it was selected to sit within that style-conscious, contemporary platform, giving it a fashion-forward credibility beyond a standard Jack & Jones piece.
