Product Insights
Contemporaine's Pure Cotton Overlaid Vest, priced at 69 CAD and currently out of stock, is a boxy-fit garment made from 100% reprocessed cotton sourced from pre-consumer fabric scraps, which saves up to 20,000 litres of water per kg and avoids chemical pesticides. Its hollow fibers ensure breathability, and the knit softens and stretches with each wash, though this may cause a looser drape and light pilling at friction points. The front buttons are purely decorative, while the boxy cut and stretch allow layering. Cold-water washing and line-drying are recommended to extend its life and reduce energy use.
Verified claims
- Boxy fit
- Boxy fit is looser than standard; sizing down still gives a relaxed silhouette.
- Fit over time
- The cotton knit softens with washes and may drape more loosely as it relaxes.
- Sourcing origin
- Reprocessed cotton in this vest generally means fibers mechanically recycled from pre-consumer production waste such as fabric scraps, rather than post-consumer garments; the brand does not specify the exact source.
- Water conservation
- Producing 1 kg of virgin cotton can consume up to 20,000 liters of water, while reprocessed cotton bypasses agriculture.
- Texture
- May pill due to shortened fibers, but softens with washing.
- Breathability
- Hollow fibers of the reprocessed cotton keep the vest breathable.
- Environmental impact
- 100% reprocessed cotton from pre-consumer waste saves up to 20,000 litres of water and avoids chemical pesticides per kg.
- Patina

- Washing and drying
- Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry; avoid hot water, high heat drying, and wringing to maintain shape and prevent shrinkage.
- Wear characteristics
- Softens with washing and may light pill at friction points.
- Hand feel
- Softens with every wash and develops a gentle halo from recycled fibers.
- Stretch
- The stretch 100% reprocessed cotton knit has some give for a forgiving, roomy fit.
- Layering
- Boxy fit and stretch knit allow layering over long sleeves or standalone wear.
- Decorative buttons
- The front buttons are purely decorative and cannot fasten the vest.

Overlaid vest
Missed the word overlaid in the description. It's a shirt with a vest. Not what I wanted.
