Product Insights
This T-shirt is made from 70% reprocessed cotton from Le 31's own scraps and 30% recycled polyester, yielding a soft, color-consistent fabric. Mechanical recycling reduces tensile strength by 10–50%, making it ideal for casual wear. Care requires washing inside out in cold water and air drying, avoiding heat, fabric softener, and bleach. The 200–250 gsm jersey works as a summer standalone or layering piece. Pre-consumer recycled cotton retains softness but lowers durability, best for everyday use. Organic cotton jersey may shrink 3–5% on first wash, but the comfort fit accommodates this. The fit runs roomy; order one size down for a tailored or trim fit after washing.

Deep Research
Print durability and care for the botanical design
- Heat is the number-one aggressor against screen print ink, so air drying this organic cotton tee is the safest way to avoid the thermal exposure that softens the ink layer and can eventually crack the extensive floral design.
- Fabric softener deposits a waxy film on the organic cotton fibers that compromises the print's grip, so skipping it entirely prevents the flaking and peeling that often appear on large-area prints after repeated washes.
- Chlorine bleach and optical brighteners in laundry products chemically degrade both the printed pigments and the organic cotton base, making a mild detergent without these additives essential to maintain the crisp botanical colors and the shirt's off-white backdrop.
- Since the botanical design covers both entire sides of this organic cotton tee, washing it inside-out is the most effective step to protect the extensive ink surface from the friction and drum contact that cause micro-cracking and premature fading over time.
How recycled cotton jersey feels and wears over time
- The T-shirt's circular manufacturing uses cutting scraps from Le 31's own organic cotton tees, resulting in recycled fibers that are essentially uncontaminated, color-consistent, and free from the degradation of post-consumer waste — characteristics that help the fabric retain more of the original organic jersey's softness and strength.
- Mechanically recycled cotton fibers have 10–50% lower tensile strength than virgin cotton because shredding shortens staple length, so the fabric is best suited for everyday casual wear rather than high-stress activities — a natural match for the T-shirt's comfort fit and relaxed styling.

Q&A
3 answered- How does the comfort fit compare to standard t-shirt sizing—does it run loose or true to size?
- This T-shirt has a comfort fit, which is a loose style with slightly dropped shoulders, similar to other Le 31 comfort-fit tees. It runs slightly roomier than standard sizing, so if you prefer a more tailored look, you may want to size down.
- What are the care instructions, and does the organic cotton shrink after washing?
- Care instructions are not listed on this product page. For organic cotton tees, we generally recommend washing in cold water and air drying to minimize shrinkage. Organic cotton can shrink 3–5% on the first wash if not pre-shrunk, similar to conventional cotton.
- What is the fabric weight or thickness of the jersey—is it lightweight for summer or medium-weight for year-round wear?
- The fabric weight is not specified for this T‑shirt. However, other Le 31 comfort‑fit tees range from 200 gsm (Pima cotton) to 250 gsm (thick jersey), so this one likely falls in a light‑to‑medium weight range suitable for year‑round wear.
