Product Insights
Contemporaine's Fine-Knit Johnny Collar Sweater, at $49 CAD undercutting comparable styles by $50-$100, offers a sustainable, recycled blend of 78% reprocessed viscose and 22% nylon that feels cool against the skin and wicks moisture, extending wear across seasons. Its smooth, fluid drape maintains a polished shape without clinging, while nylon reinforcement prevents elbow bagging and pilling, keeping the relaxed silhouette sharp. The tradeoff: it requires cold wash on delicate cycle and flat drying to preserve its condition.
