Product Insights
The Reprocessed Linen Striped Sweater by Contemporaine is a recycled-fiber sweater priced at $19.99 CAD, offering lower environmental impact than virgin flax. It requires specific care: machine wash gentle cold, lay flat to dry, use a mild pH-neutral detergent, and avoid wringing. Pilling should be removed with a manual comb. After washing, the rolled hem restores with steam and fingertip rolling while damp. The tradeoff is that maintaining its relaxed shape and rolled hem demands careful handling and storage folded, but the sustainable material and low price make it an accessible eco-conscious choice.
Verified claims
- Sustainability
- Recycled-fiber sweater with lower environmental impact than virgin flax, priced at $19.99 CAD.
- Washing
- Machine wash gentle cold, lay flat to dry; do not wring.
- Detergents
- Use a mild pH-neutral wool wash or delicate detergent.
- Pilling
- Remove pills with a manual comb, not an electric shaver.
- Rolled hem revival
- After washing, the rolled hem restores with steam and fingertip rolling while damp.
- Care
- Machine wash cold, lay flat to dry, and store folded rather than on a hanger to prevent shoulder drag lines and neckline warping over seasons.
- Fit and sizing
- Several buyers say the relaxed fit runs large and boxy through the body with slim sleeves, and at least one buyer chose a size down.
- Skin feel
- Skin feel is mixed: some buyers describe the knit as supple and comfortable, while one buyer reports it feels prickly on the skin.
- Shape retention after washing
- Post-wash shape retention is inconsistent: one buyer reports seams twisted after following wash and flat-dry instructions, while another says the blend neither wrinkles nor shrinks in the wash.

Joli, confortable et j'aime comment il tombe.
Pratique
Un beau chandail qui va bien avec des pantalons blancs ou des jeans. Pratique à avoir avec soi lorsque le temps rafraîchi. Pas trop lourd.

Fait assez grand. Tour de poitrine du XS = 101 cm (40 po). Coupe « box ». Donc, corps large mais manche étroite.
Confortable
Je l'adore!
Disappointed
Followed washing instructions and to lay flat to dry. Seams are not true and straight, giving a warped appearance of garment. I like the colour and how it looked when I first got it. I am hoping that my adjustment while wet will improve the structure. Otherwise, overpriced for the quality.

Chandail rayé en lin
Chandail mince et très confortable. Coupe ample, j'ai choisi une taille plus petite, comme j'avais fait lors de l'achat dans la couleur bleue. Problème avec la couleur. On la décrit comme verte mais il y a autant de brun que de vert olive foncé, sinon plus. À porter avec du vert kaki, olive ou du brun, évidemment.
Tricot souple et confortable.

Excellent
C'est la 2e fois que j'achète cet article. Le tissu est très confortable son mélange de lin et viscose est tout confort. Vivement d'autres vêtements utilisant ce mélange(ne froisse ni ne rapetisse au lavage). Ce chandail donne une allure sport-chic. La livraison est incomparable.
