Product Insights
Icône's Vertical Stripe Wool-Blend Cardigan (79 CAD; in stock; 24 reviews) is a mild-weather, oversized slouch layer cut in a 68% recycled polyester, 20% polyamide, 10% wool, 2% spandex house knit whose soft, non-itchy brushed-synthetic hand carries a plush fuzzy halo rather than wool warmth; vertical rust-orange stripes run shoulder to hem over the navy body and onto the sleeves, with ribbed cuffs, hem, neckline and placket kept close by spandex recovery, dropped shoulders, and imitation-pearl buttons that flex. It is styled over a tee for work-from-home, errands and relaxed weekends, typically with jeans and boots, and buyers report unsolicited compliments. The tradeoff is a fit and construction profile that asks tolerance: sizing only covers Size 1 for XS–S and Size 2 for M–L with nothing between or beyond, buyers say it runs large—Size 2 gives the intended oversized slouch, Size 1 a closer line—while sleeves run past the wrist and bunch for shorter arms, the oversized body cinches at a tight bottom hem, and button threads loosen after one wash and seams can come undone after a day of wear or one cold delicate wash; full price reads budget rather than premium against Icône's 59 and 69 CAD cardigan siblings, though the 29.95 sale undercuts both, and care is cold machine wash only—no bleach, no professional cleaning, no tumble drying.
Verified claims
- Sizing
- Size 1 fits XS–S and Size 2 M–L, and no band covers shoppers between or beyond them.
- Fit
- Buyers report it runs large — Size 2 gives the intended oversized slouch, Size 1 a closer line.
- Drop shoulder
- Dropped shoulder seams give every size a slouchy drape; most shoppers can take their usual size.
- Sleeve length
- Sleeves run long past the wrist, so shorter arms push or bunch the cuffs.
- Hem
- The bottom hem is cut tight against the oversized body, drawing in at the hip.
- Button attachment
- Buyers report buttons loosening after one wash, even on a delicate cycle
- Seam durability
- Buyers report seams coming undone after a single day of wear or one cold delicate wash
- Care
- Cold machine wash only: no bleach, no professional cleaning, no tumble drying
- Shape retention
- Ribbed cuffs, hem, and neckline resist curling, and 2% spandex resists bagging at elbows.
- Hand feel
- Soft, non-itchy knit whose plush fuzzy halo comes from the brushed synthetic majority, not the 10% wool
- Warmth
- A mild-weather mid-layer, not a winter sweater — the fuzzy hand feels warmer than it insulates.
- Stripes
- Vertical rust-orange stripes run shoulder to hem across the navy body and onto the sleeves.
- Compliments
- Buyers report unsolicited compliments whenever they wear it.
- Styling advice
- Pair with jeans and boots for a polished-yet-relaxed casual look.
- Silhouette
- Intentionally oversized and slouchy, but the tight bottom hem cinches at the hip.
- Buttons
- Imitation-pearl buttons flex rather than crack, though their threads can loosen after a wash.
- Placket
- The ribbed button placket keeps its close fit through 2% spandex recovery.
- Layering
- A light layer worn over a tee for work-from-home and errands, and a relaxed weekend piece.
- Drape
- 2% spandex is a recovery fiber, so the drape springs back instead of bagging.
- Price positioning
- 79 CAD list sits above Icône's 59 and 69 CAD cardigan siblings, and the 29.95 sale undercuts both.
- Full-price value
- At full price the 68% recycled polyester, 10% wool knit reads budget, not premium.
- Stripe design
- Buyers report the vertical stripe reads as an original statement piece that draws compliments.
- Material
- 68% recycled polyester, 20% polyamide, 10% wool, 2% spandex — a recurring Icône house knit, not a one-off eco SKU.

Everyday layering for work-from-home days and errands
Per a synthesis of customer reviews, this cardigan works as a casual layer for work-from-home days or running errands, with a soft wool-blend knit that reportedly doesn't itch and is easy to wear all day without irritation. Some reviewers note the blend is polyester-heavy with a lower wool content than expected, so those wanting a more premium feel may be disappointed.[1]
A polished layer for weekend outfits with jeans
For casual weekend looks, this cardigan pairs well with jeans and boots — reviewers note its vertical stripes and nice drape create a relaxed yet put-together style. Some customers report receiving compliments when wearing it, and the product photo shows it styled with light-wash denim.[1,2]
For an intentionally oversized, slouchy cardigan look
If you want a deliberately baggy, slouchy silhouette, shoppers report this cardigan delivers, since it runs very large overall. Be aware it's only offered in two sizes, so petite and mid-sized buyers may not get a true fit, and some find the tight bottom hem unflattering. Those who prefer a more tailored silhouette may find the oversized cut overwhelming.[1]
Best for gentle, low-frequency wear and care
Shoppers drawn to this wool-blend cardigan for everyday layering should note the reported upkeep concerns: review summaries describe buttons coming off after the first wash, even on a delicate cycle, and seams unraveling after minimal wear, including one report of a bottom seam undone after a single day. Based on these customer reviews, it is not suited to a frequent machine-washing or easy-care routine, so it works better for occasional wear with careful handling.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Vertical Stripe Wool-Blend Cardigan: Choose this if you want a soft, non-itchy wool-blend layer with a relaxed, slightly boxy fit and vertical rust-orange stripes on navy that reviewers say works well for casual errand or weekend outfits. It runs very large and suits those who intentionally want an oversized, slouchy look, though sizing is limited to two ranges (size 1 fits x-small/small, size 2 fits medium/large) and the tight bottom hem may not flatter everyone. Note that reviewers report durability problems: buttons may detach after washing even on a delicate cycle and seams can unravel with minimal wear, and the polyester-dominant fabric may pill and feels less premium than a wool-blend suggests.[1,3] | Touch Of Wool Ribbed Boxy-Fit Cardigan: Choose this if you want a soft, cozy wool-blend layer for all-day lounge or mild-weather wear, with a slightly oversized, on-trend cropped silhouette, deep ribbing, and a button-front crew-neck design that works open over casual outfits. Be aware it runs notably large with long sleeves and a short body, so petite shoppers and those between sizes should size down at least one, and even then the crop may still feel extreme rather than a traditional length. Some reviewers also report early pilling, so a fabric shaver or adjusted longevity expectations may be needed.[4,5] | Touch Of Alpaca Boat-Neck Fuzzy Cardigan: Choose this if you want a soft, fuzzy alpaca-and-mohair blend cardigan for lightweight, cozy layering over a tee or turtleneck in cool spring or fall weather. It's made in Italy with a classic boat neck, regular fit with slight drop shoulders, full-length buttons, and easy-to-coordinate colorways like Honey/Camel, Green, Navy/Midnight Blue, and Red. Note that the wool content can feel prickly on bare skin, so a base layer is recommended for many wearers.[6] |

Exactly as I hoped for
C'est un indispensable!
Chandail souple et doux.
Satisfaite!
Vraiment un beau cardigan, très original, chaud et confortable. Pour celles qui aiment l'over size.
Meh
Coupe serrée au bas, ce qui donne une drôle de silouhette. Manque d’inclusivité dans les tailles
Good
Soft and cozy
So soft
Beautifully detailed and hangs so nicely
Je l’adore!
Il est vraiment beau! Doux au toucher. J’ai pris la taille 2 et il est grand. Ce que je voulais. Tout le monde me complimente lorsque je le porte. :)
Stripped sweater
I love the style of the sweater and it looks great with denim and boots. I do wish that the wool content was higher.
La taille ne donne pas
La taille ne donne pas la bonne grandeur, J’avais commandé #1 qui devait être petit ou xtra petit A lieu de ça c’était inscrit p et m Dommage
Cute but buttons almost falling off
Super cute but the buttons are already almost falling off after one wash. The sleeves are very long, which I like though
gilet
J’aime bien.
Couleurs magnifiques
Le camaïeu de mauve est vraiment bien. Toutefois on veut tellement ratisser large dans les tailles (2 tailles seulement pour touts les grandeurs et formats de femme), que le MEDIUM fugure nul part. :( Pour moi c’est bien trop grand.

A little big as I am usually an xs but I am in love with it!

I was not happy with the material makeup and the feel of the sweater. It would not last a wash. Returned.

Love it!
So happy with my purchase. True to colour and size. Lovely quality. Really soft, comfortable and pretty.
Chandail
Très confortable et doux
Worn once
I washed the sweater on "delicate" in cold water before wearing it. I wore it for the first time December 28th and putting it away December 29th, I noticed that the seam on the bottom on the right side was undone. Therefore I am returning it. Very disappointing. 😞
Warm and fuzzy
Had to really hunt for this one:) First time my order was cancelled. Now I think I have received a wrong size. I've ordered size 1,but it says m-l on the label. It should be s-m, so I gave it to my daughter. Overall it is very cute gingerbread-Christmasy, warm and soft. Let' s see if it will be pilling, cause it's mainly poliester.
The Perfect North Vancouver Winter Sweater
Right for the budget winter sweater that is casual and very comfortable to wear
