Product Insights
This private-label cable-knit sweater, exclusive to Simons, uses 80% reprocessed viscose and 20% nylon for a soft, cool handfeel that drapes without bulk, while the nylon blend resists pilling and maintains shape over time. Its cable-knit traps air for warmth yet stays breathable, making it suitable for multi-season wear. The tradeoff: to preserve the insulating air pockets when layering, buyers size up, and the sweater requires hand washing and laying flat to dry to avoid deterioration.
Verified claims
- Material
- 80% reprocessed viscose, 20% nylon — same as $59 sweater, with recycled fibers and pill‑resistant nylon.
- Value
- Contemporaine private‑label design at $19.99, vs normal $29–$69 range.
- Versatility
- Cable‑knit with cool viscose handfeel and air‑trapping insulation for multi‑season wear.
- Design origin
- Designed in Canada, exclusive to Contemporaine by Simons.
- Durability
- Nylon content reduces shedding and helps prevent the cable pattern and shoulders from stretching over time.
- Care
- Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry to maintain shape and minimize pilling.
- Sizing
- The seller recommends choosing your usual size for a regular fit and sizing up only if you prefer a looser look.
- Fit integrity
- Hand washing cold and laying flat to dry helps preserve the sweater's fit and shape; the nylon content adds stretch resistance.
- Fit feel
- The blend gives the sweater a soft, drapey fit that feels cool against the skin.
- Thermal comfort
- Cable-knit traps air for warmth while viscose stays cool against the skin.
- Handfeel
- Soft, draping hand that feels cool to the touch and layers without bulk.
- Shape retention
- Nylon content prevents the cable pattern and shoulders from stretching over time.
- Breathability
- Cable-knit traps air for insulation while still allowing airflow, so the sweater feels breathable rather than stifling.
- Private label
- Contemporaine is an exclusive Simons private label designed in Canada.
- Sustainability
- Made with 80% reprocessed viscose, this sweater uses recycled fiber that diverts textile waste from incineration.
- Sleeve consistency
- Buyers have reported inconsistent sleeve lengths: one Off White sweater's sleeves were 6 cm longer than the Fuchsia version, and another buyer received a sweater with one sleeve significantly longer than the other.

Excellente qualité
The sleeves are super long
I bought this sweater in Off White and Fuchsia. The sleeves on the Off White were ridiculously long, 6 cms longer than the Fuchsia. I couldn't return the Off White because I needed it for a family photoshoot and there wasn't enough time to find something else.
Quality control issue. . .
Awesome sweater. Gorgeous color. But one arm was significantly longer than the other ;) Sent back.
