Product Insights
The Tone-On-Tone Stripe Tee from Le 31 Studio Capsule is a Canadian-designed piece featuring an intentional sheer stripe achieved through a premium 70% TENCEL lyocell and 30% linen blend, which typically costs CAD 50–100 but is priced at CAD 19.99. The deliberate sheerness requires an undershirt unless you are comfortable with the reveal; this tradeoff is part of the design’s Studio Capsule exclusivity. TENCEL lyocell’s closed-loop production adds a sustainability layer rarely seen at this price point. Originally CAD 79, the 75% markdown signals final-phase clearance for a limited-edition capsule now out of stock.
- Sheerness
Undershirt likely needed unless you are comfortable with the reveal.
Why this is supported
The product Q&A states:
The fabric is described as sheer — it's a lightweight, semi-transparent jersey, so you'll likely want to wear an undershirt unless you're comfortable with the skin showing through.
How sheer is the fabric? Will an undershirt be needed?- Fabric blend
70% TENCEL lyocell, 30% linen — premium fibers yielding the sheer look.
Why this is supported
A cost analysis explains:
the inclusion of linen — a more costly natural fiber to cultivate and spin — and TENCEL Lyocell, a botanic fiber with a silky drape and closed-loop production, normally pushes even unbranded basics into the $50–100+ CAD range
What $20 gets you in a designer-blend long-sleeve tee — linen_tencel_lyocell_blend_cost_contextThis confirms the blend's premium nature, which complements the intentional sheerness.

How sheer is the fabric? Will an undershirt be needed?, meaning it requires an undershirt for coverage but delivers the capsule's cutting-edge visual effect.
- Value
70% TENCEL lyocell/30% linen at CAD 19.99 — a blend normally costing CAD 50–100
Why this is supported
The research notes that long-sleeve tees in this price range are almost always cotton or cotton-polyester blends, making this linen-TENCEL combination an outlier:
the inclusion of linen — a more costly natural fiber to cultivate and spin — and TENCEL Lyocell, a botanic fiber with a silky drape and closed-loop production, normally pushes even unbranded basics into the $50–100+ CAD range
What $20 gets you in a designer-blend long-sleeve tee — linen_tencel_lyocell_blend_cost_contextThis confirms the blend's value surpasses typical sub-$20 tees.
- Design provenance
Originally CAD 79 from Simons' Le 31 Studio Capsule, designed in-house in Canada
Why this is supported
The tee belongs to Simons' Studio Capsule collection, a higher-design tier:
Le 31 Studio Capsule is Simons' higher-design tier, distinct from the house brand's everyday essentials, so this tee carries a deliberate aesthetic — the sheer, tone-on-tone stripe effect on a fine-gauge jersey — that would typically command a 2-3x multiple over a basic long-sleeve layering piece at retail.
What $20 gets you in a designer-blend long-sleeve tee — studio_capsule_design_premiumAdditionally, it was designed in Canada by Simons' in-house team rather than sourced as an import blank:
Designed in Canada by Simons' in-house team, Le 31 pieces are not generic import blanks — the creative direction and domestic design investment built into the original $79 CAD price are delivered at $19.99, giving the buyer a garment with a more intentional concept than most tees in the budget bracket.

TENCEL Lyocell uses closed-loop production, rare in sub-$20 tees

What $20 gets you in a designer-blend long-sleeve tee — linen_tencel_lyocell_blend_cost_context- Markdown lifecycle
The 75% price drop from $79 to $19.99 is a final-phase clearance for a limited-edition capsule.
Why this is supported
The markdown depth is characteristic of a final-phase clearance:
The jump from $79 to $19.99 represents a 75% discount, the kind of clearance markdown reserved for the final phase of a capsule's lifecycle rather than an everyday promotion
What $20 gets you in a designer-blend long-sleeve tee — 75_markdown_from_original_79_cadThis indicates the tee is end-of-life inventory for the limited-edition Studio Capsule.
