Compared within this brand.
| Pure Wool Jacquard Zip-Collar Sweater: Choose this if you seek a warm, stylish sweater featuring a distinctive all-over jacquard knit and a zip-collar. The pure wool knit is noted for its ability to trap heat, which reviewers compare to a jacket in cold weather. Choose a long-sleeve base layer underneath to help offset reports that the wool texture can feel uncomfortably scratchily itchy against bare skin.[1] | Patterned Soft Boxy-Fit Sweater: Choose this if you want a soft, stretchy 100% polyester knit with a boxy, slightly cropped cut and short sleeves that end above the elbow, finished with ribbed crew neck, cuffs, and hem. Choose it for its all-over small floral print—pink blossoms with blue accents and green foliage on a light cream base—offered in Patterned White, Patterned Brown, and Patterned Blue, each in one size only. Note that the cropped hem sits above the waist and can roll slightly at the front, so the one-size, short-sleeve fit may not suit everyone.[2,3,4,5] | Soft Two-Tone Stripe Sweater: Choose this if you want a soft, non-itchy crewneck sweater in a two-tone stripe for office or weekend wear — its LENZING ECOVERO viscose blend knit is light enough for spring layering yet warm on cool fall days, and petite shoppers often find the fit perfect off the rack. Note that it runs short and slim: if you're over 5 feet 5 inches or want length, you'll likely need to size up (which can compromise the slim silhouette), and actual shades can appear greyer than the product images, so the warm white stripe may not match true white.[6,7] |

Parfait
Le médium comme toujours était la bonne grandeur Belle laine chaude faut juste porter un mérinos en dessous pour empêcher que ça pic
Jacquard zip sweater
The wool it’s a bit rough on my skin, have to wear something underneath. Overall it’s a beautiful sweater.
Un incontournable de l'automne !
Le chandail est d'un très beau bleu, fidèle aux photos. Il est 100 % laine, remarquablement chaud et extrêmement confortable, surtout porté par-dessus un col roulé. J'ai un vrai coup de cœur pour les chandails en pure laine de Simons, et j'attends toujours l'arrivée de l'automne avec impatience pour m'en procurer un nouveau. Côté grandeur, j'ai acheté ma taille habituelle ,large, et la coupe est tout simplement parfaite. Je le recommande sans hésiter !
Beautiful
Nice sweater. Fits true to size. Love the colour.

Jacquard sweater
Love the pattern and fit a little scratchy but will wear a light layer underneath
So itchy
Such a cute design I want to love it but its so scratchy and uncomfortable
Doux et confortable
Taille juste. Sera parfait pour l'automne et l'hive au chalet. Très bon achat.
Beau mais grand
Belle qualité, mais faut très grand . Je dois malheureusement le retourner
Gorgeous pattern (black&cream) and good value
Very happy with my purchase…very practical, attractive and warm lambswool. Texture is quite nice-it’s not cashmere soft but not steelwool rough either, comfortable against bare skin, but it will not be worn without an underlayer, anyway. Because of boxy shape, I was able to size down from my usual M to S for a sleeker look.
Classic
Beautiful colour, and classic pattern. Wonderful value for a pure wool sweater. It is a sweater that I can put on and feel comfortable that it looks good!
beau et chaud
Beau chandail. Un peu foncé à mon goût. J'aurais aimé un peu plus de blanc dans le tricot.
Pretty
The sweater is pretty, but fits small and is very very scratchy. Returned.
Bel qualité
Un peu trop large
Great sweater
Great fit - I am a size 10 (38D) and the medium fit well. Sweater is like many pure wool sweaters- a bit scratchy- but it is lovely and warm. Collar is too stiff to fold down but it looks great with the collar up.
Beautiful sweater
Perfect fit, stylish and cozy
Confortable!
Ce chandail est confortable et se porte en toute occasion.

Chandail de laine
Très beau tricot et très confortable. J’aime qu’il ne soit pas trop serré et ni trop court.
Tenue sport ŵlégante
Chaleur, douceur, parfait pour les jours froids.
Love this sweater!
Great style. Love the fit. Had compliments from complete strangers the first time I wore it. Haven’t washed it yet but instructions seem straightforward. Excellent sweater for the price!
Laine chaude et un air d'élégance
Je suis très heureuse d'avoir pu offrir un chandail de pure laine tissée aussi serrée à ma mère qui, avec l'âge, n'arrivait plus à se réchauffer. Elle l'a adopté tout de suite. Avec sa belle couleur marine et son ajustement parfait, il lui donne une très belle allure. J'espère que vous continuerez d'offrir des chandails d'aussi belle qualité.
Love this sweater
Not knowing which size since I’m medium -large, I bought the large. Medium would have maybe been better but I just rolled up the cuff which is nicely finished. It doesn’t cling to my curves, so I’m keeping it. Love Simon’s quality on this sweater.
Excellent
Beau chandail
Chandail pure laine
Fait à merveille.
MAGNIFIQUE
Chic chandail 100% laine. Très confortable, ne pique pas du tout. Prix alléchant vu la qualité! Je recommande sans hésiter. J’ai pris un point plus grand au cas où.
Magnifique chandail pour les temps froid
Parfait pour l'hiver en vraie laine. Vraiment beau!
Super beau chandail de laine!
J’adore mon nouveau chandail de laine. Il tombe vraiment bien et le motif est très joli. Il est un peu grand mais j’aime ça car je mettrai probablement autre chose en-dessous.
Tres beau
