Product Insights
The Sailor Stripe Linen Knit Sweater by Roberto Collina (CAD 375) offers a regular, relaxed fit with dropped shoulders and a straight hem. Its 90/10 linen-cotton knit leverages linen's 20% wet strength to resist sagging and tearing, while yarn-dyed stripes retain sharpness and warm into a vintage patina with sun exposure. The sweater softens and develops slub texture with repeated hand washes, shrinking 3-5% initially but recovering shape when laid flat. The tradeoff: achieving these aging benefits requires hand washing and flat drying.
Verified claims
- Fit
- Designed with a regular, relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, and straight hem.
- Aging character
- The sweater softens with washing and the colors develop a vintage patina with sun exposure.

- Washing instructions
- Hand wash or dry clean; do not bleach, tumble dry, or high heat iron.
- Shrinkage and shape recovery
- The knit shrinks 3-5% on first wash, then recovers shape when laid flat to dry.
- Visual aging

- Care
- Hand wash and flat dry to achieve the described aging benefits.
- Fabric feel
- Linen-cotton knit resists pilling, develops slub texture, and softens with washes.
- Stripe pattern
- Yarn-dyed stripes won't crack or fade unevenly; with sun exposure the navy mellows and the ecru warms into a vintage patina.
- Texture evolution
- Long-staple fibers resist pilling and the linen-cotton blend grows softer with each wash, becoming drapey while staying breathable and durable.
- Color aging
- Yarn-dyed stripes stay sharp; the ecru warms and navy mellows under sun, creating a vintage patina without fading unevenly.
- Value
- The 'at Le 31' designation and the finely ribbed linen-cotton construction place this sweater in a curated designer tier at a high-street price.
- Build quality
- Linen-cotton (90/10) knit with ribbed edging: wet strength up 20%, resists pilling and sagging.
- Aging behavior
- Relaxed fit; first wash shrinks 3-5%, then the knit softens and develops patina.
- Breathability and weight
- The linen-cotton knit is breathable and lightweight, and the ribbed edging helps the lightweight fabric keep its structure.
- Style
- The yarn-dyed navy-and-ecru stripes preserve a nautical sharpness, and the knit keeps a structured sailor silhouette as it softens.
