Product Insights
Le 31, Simons' in-house brand with over 180 years of family retail and knitwear tradition, offers this 5-inch stretch ribbed boxer brief as a designed-in-Canada, premium everyday essential. Blending 65% recycled polyester with 35% reprocessed organic cotton, it reduces waste and carbon footprint while delivering a compressive, stay-put fit thanks to ribbed knit that recovers 92% after stretching and stretches 40-50%. Priced at $20—double the per-pair cost of a 3-pack basics but below premium eco-brands—it justifies its cost with exclusive design and sustainable materials. The tradeoff lies in its care and use: cold wash and air dry are needed to preserve shape and elasticity, and while it wicks moisture and breathes, it's best for everyday wear and light exercise, not high-intensity activities where cotton absorbs sweat. Buyers confirm solid build quality and a long-lasting waistband, making it a durable, eco-conscious choice for those willing to pay more for a single pair that combines heritage, fit, and reduced environmental impact.
Verified claims
- Fit
- The ribbed knit recovers about 92% after stretching, stretches 40–50%, and creates a compressive stay-put fit that, with the 5-inch inseam, keeps the legs from shifting or rolling up.
- Care
- Cold wash below 30°C and air dry preserve shape recovery; avoid fabric softener.
- Use case
- Best for everyday wear; less suited for high-intensity sweaty activities.
- Value
- This single pair is ~$20, about double the 3-pack's per-pair price.
- Brand lineage
- Le 31 was founded in the 1960s as a Simons in-house brand, and Simons has been family-owned since 1840.
- Knitwear tradition
- This ribbed jersey continues Simons' knitwear tradition rooted in the founder's over 70 transatlantic voyages to source Scottish and Irish knitwear.
- Canadian design
- Le 31 is an exclusive designed-in-Canada line controlled by Simons' Quebec team.
- Positioning
- At $20, this ribbed brief is double Le 31's basics but undercuts premium eco-brands, justified by its recycled blend and exclusive design.
- Pricing consistency
- The $20 price is the same across all cuts and colors in the ribbed stretch collection.
- Materials
- Blend of 65% recycled polyester and 35% reprocessed organic cotton cuts waste and carbon footprint.
- Durability
- Ribbed knit resists sagging with 92% shape recovery, and proper care preserves elasticity.
- Brand heritage
- Simons-owned Le 31 brings 180+ years of family retail and knitwear expertise.
- Activity use
- Designed for everyday wear and light exercise, not high-intensity athletics.
- Breathability
- The recycled polyester wicks moisture, the organic cotton's open fiber structure breathes, and the ribbed knit improves airflow, so the brief stays comfortable for all-day everyday wear and light exercise rather than high-intensity workouts.
- Quality
- Buyers note solid build quality and long-lasting waistband.
- Sustainability
- The organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and the recycled polyester is typically sourced from post-consumer PET bottles, reducing landfill waste and energy use compared with virgin polyester.
