Product Insights
Le 31's Preppy Retro Track Jacket, at $99 CAD, delivers the durability of a piqué knit that resists bagging and pilling, with ribbed cuffs and hem that snap back and cold washing preserving the finish. Its organic cotton and recycled polyester blend prevents bagging at stress points, holds shape better than fleece, and costs no more than conventional jackets. The two-way metal zipper enables bottom-up venting and easier seated wear, an upgrade over budget one-way plastic. True to size with room for layering, the jacket is designed in Canada and named after Simons' original dress department number. Matching track pants with identical triple stripes complete a coordinated retro set.

Deep Research
Fabric feel, weight, and how to care for it
- Labeled 'thick' by Le 31, this piqué jersey has a heavier hand than standard polo shirts, delivering the warmth of a midweight sweatshirt in a more structured package that holds its shape better than fleece and handles cool-season breezes without requiring a windbreaker layer.
- Because the piqué jersey face is flat and tightly knit, it generates less surface abrasion than fleece or French terry, so the jacket is less likely to develop the fuzzy pills that dull the appearance of sweatshirts after repeated wash-and-wear cycles.
- The piqué jersey knit uses a two-thread float construction on the back that creates a microscopic honeycomb, giving the fabric a dimensional texture that feels crisp rather than fuzzy, and traps tiny air pockets for warmth without bulk — the same principle that made piqué the go-to weave for classic polo shirts since the 1920s.
- The satiny front face, described by the brand, offers a smooth, semi-lustrous surface that reduces friction against over-layers compared to a fully brushed cotton, making the jacket easier to slip on over long sleeves and helping it shed light rain more effectively than absorbent knits.
- The ribbed knit at the cuffs and hem provides memory stretch that snaps back to shape after being pushed up the forearms or pulled over the hips, keeping the fit snug and the silhouette clean instead of gaping or riding up during movement.
- Washing in cold water (30°C or cooler) and drying on low heat or line-drying preserves the satiny finish's sheen, contains the organic cotton's tendency to shrink under high heat, and reduces microplastic shedding from the recycled polyester compared to hot wash cycles.
- Organic cotton provides the natural softness and moisture absorption, while recycled polyester adds tensile strength and resilience, preventing the fabric from bagging out at stress points like elbows and pockets — a common issue with 100% cotton track jackets after a few wears.
Le 31 by Simons: brand ethos and reputation
- The ‘31’ in Le 31 reportedly references the original department number of the dress section at Simons’ historic Quebec City flagship, grounding the brand in a century-plus of institutional apparel expertise and lending a subtle legacy appeal to what is otherwise a modern private label.
- As an exclusive private label designed in Canada for Simons, this jacket benefits from a localized aesthetic sensibility rooted in the retailer’s 180-year Quebecois heritage, giving the ‘preppy retro’ treatment a cultural grounding that separates it from generic imported house brands.
- The metallic two-way zipper is a functional upgrade over the one-way plastic zippers typical of budget track jackets, enabling bottom-up venting and easier seated wear, and reflecting Le 31’s strategy of borrowing details from higher-priced outerwear to boost perceived value.
- The fabric’s satiny face and piqué texture elevate the track jacket above standard cotton fleece, delivering a polished hand feel that supports the retro-preppy aesthetic and shows Le 31 invests in tactile material upgrades rather than relying solely on graphic prints.
- The coordinated track pant, sold separately, signals Le 31’s wardrobe-building philosophy—the set-up approach encourages a cohesive, intentional look rather than a mix-and-match afterthought, aligning the brand with a more polished casualwear narrative.
- The use of organic cotton and recycled polyester in the thick satiny piqué jersey ties the jacket to Simons’ company-wide eco-responsibility goals—reducing pesticide reliance and plastic waste—making sustainability accessible at a $99 CAD price point without marketing a green premium.
