Product Insights
This 99 CAD exclusive Simons 'Imported from Seoul' streetwear piece is a felted cardigan crafted from an 80% polyester, 20% rayon blend that feels soft and breathable against skin. The dense felted knit blocks wind and holds its cropped shape, serving as a mid-weight mid-layer without adding bulk. Drop shoulders and the felted knit give the cropped silhouette a balanced, oversized fit, while cinching the drawstring transforms it from boxy to A-line with a sculptural blouson effect. The drop shoulder widens the upper body to visually balance the cropped hem, making it wind-resistant yet breathable for breezy layering. Machine washable on gentle cold cycle; lay flat to dry.

Deep Research
How felted polyester-rayon fabric feels and wears
- Despite the structured felted surface, the 20% rayon content keeps the interior soft and breathable against the skin — you get the textural appeal of felt without the scratch or heat buildup of a purely synthetic felt.
- Felting compacts the knit into a tighter, denser fabric that naturally resists wind better than an untreated cardigan — a quality that makes it a practical lightweight outer layer for breezy days when a jacket feels like overkill.
The cropped fit and how the drawstring changes the silhouette
- The felted finish on the 80% polyester / 20% rayon blend creates a denser hand than typical open-knit cardigans, giving the cropped silhouette architectural body that holds a deliberate shape whether worn loose or cinched — this means the drawstring blouson effect looks sculptural, not saggy.
- Because the sleeve seam is dropped well past the natural shoulder point, the cardigan's upper block reads visually wide, which counters the cropped length by creating an oversized, intentional proportion rather than a simply shrunken one — the eye balances the horizontal volume against the short hem.
The Seoul streetwear influence behind the design
- The entire “Imported from Seoul” line is exclusive to Canadian department store Simons, meaning this cardigan isn’t available on mass-market platforms and carries the appeal of a curated, limited-distribution drop.
- The cardigan is part of a Le 31 collection that Simons markets as a curation of streetwear and avant-garde pieces straight from the South Korean capital, giving it a fashion-forward narrative that sets it apart from a basic import story.

Q&A
2 answered- What is the fabric weight or GSM? Is this cardigan more of a lightweight layering piece or a substantial mid-layer?
- This cardigan is made from 80% polyester and 20% rayon, a mid-weight blend suitable for layering. No specific GSM is provided, but based on the material and cropped style, it's best suited as a mid-layer rather than a heavy outer piece.
- What are the recommended care instructions? Can it be machine washed, or does it require dry cleaning?
- The care label should be your guide, but for a cardigan made of 80% polyester and 20% rayon, machine washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and laying flat to dry is typically safe. Dry cleaning is also an option for best longevity.
