Deep Research
Fit and sizing compared to standard brands
- The waffle jersey incorporates stretch fibers, which adds give to the fabric and ensures the loose silhouette drapes naturally rather than feeling stiff — this means you can comfortably wear your true size without the fabric pulling or bunching.
Scissor-cut and distressed hem longevity
- The hems are built on a 1×1 rib knit, a construction that distributes stress across vertical ridges and delivers superior stretch recovery compared to flat knit. This dense rib structure can maintain its shape for roughly 1,500 wash cycles, so the distressed finish will hold its integrity without sagging—the lived-in look stays intentional, not worn-out.
- Because the fabric is a knit—not a woven—the raw scissor-cut hem will not fray; knit fabrics resist unraveling due to their interlooped structure. After a few washes, the edge curls inward to form a soft rolled finish that deepens the vintage character without generating loose threads.
- The inclusion of spandex in the cotton blend gives the waffle-textured fabric a snap-back elasticity that works in tandem with the ribbed hem's own recovery. This prevents the hems from bagging out or losing definition over time, so the shirt's vintage silhouette remains crisp despite the raw finishes.
How the stretch cotton blend feels and performs
- The characteristic waffle-knit weave gives the jersey a three-dimensional honeycomb surface that is both breathable and softly textured — the raised pattern creates micro-air pockets that aid ventilation, so the shirt feels airier and less prone to sticking to the skin than a smooth flat knit.
How it compares to other waffle-knit long-sleeves
- Mass-market waffle knit long sleeves from Fruit of the Loom retail for $20 USD, setting the category floor — at CAD 79 (≈$55 USD) this Le 31 shirt is positioned as a fashion-driven design purchase, not a multi-pack stocking stuffer.
- Le 31's Micro-waffle T-shirt Comfort fit sells for CAD 39, making this 'Imported from Seoul' piece the brand's premium tier at double the price — the upcharge goes into a heavier-distressed finish, a scissor-cut hem, and an import-specific waffle jersey that the basic micro-waffle skips.
- At the high end, the Peloton Cotton-Blend Waffle Knit Long-Sleeve Shirt retails for $98 USD (sale $69) and the Lululemon Engineered Warmth Long Sleeve Crew reaches $148 USD — those invest in technical stretch and moisture-wicking blends, whereas Le 31's price-point offers a raw-hem, vintage aesthetic without charging for athletic performance.
- Contemporary DTC staples like the Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Waffle Crew ($46 USD) and the Everlane Waffle Long-Sleeve Henley ($65 USD) anchor the $45–$65 bracket — converted, Le 31's CAD 79 places it squarely among these minimal styles but replaces clean uniformity with a deliberately destroyed, Seoul-import character.

Q&A
1 answered- Can the scissor-cut hem and distressed hems be machine washed without further fraying or unraveling?
- While the scissor-cut and distressed ribbed hems are designed to have a lived-in look, the waffle jersey knit structure helps resist excessive fraying. For best longevity, we recommend machine washing on a gentle cycle and air drying, as harsh agitation may accelerate fraying.
