Deep Research
How it compares to similar turtlenecks under $50
- At CAD $39, this is one of the most affordable Contemporaine sweaters with a special design detail — the brand's Solid Turtleneck Tunic Sweater, a basic ribbed tunic, lists at $79 CAD, so the buttoned-sleeve version comes in at half the price of other non-basic styles from the same label, making it the budget-friendly standout in the collection.
- With 78% reprocessed viscose, this sweater undercuts many sustainably marketed basics — the Organic Basics Everyday Turtleneck (organic cotton/TENCEL Modal) is €32.90 (~CAD 47) without button detailing, while Quince's organic cotton rib turtleneck is $24.90 USD (~CAD 33) but lacks both the recycled fiber and the design element, positioning this as a high-value entry in the sustainability-conscious segment.
- Sweaters with buttoned-sleeve detailing typically sit in the $50–100 USD range — Ann Taylor's Button Turtleneck retails at $98 USD and Parallel's Button Accent Turtleneck at $68 USD — making this Contemporaine sweater's CAD $39 price an unusually low entry point for the design feature, especially given its recycled content.
Care and maintenance for long-lasting wear
- Washing this sweater in cold water — no warmer than 30°C / 86°F — with a mild detergent formulated for synthetics prevents the reprocessed viscose from shrinking and weakening when wet, which would otherwise distort the regular-fit silhouette and shorten the garment permanently.
- The regular fit depends on the shoulder seams sitting correctly; hanging the sweater stretches those seams over time, creating permanent droops in the turtleneck and body that cannot be steamed out.
- Wringing breaks down the knit and leaves hard creases — gently press excess water out between towels, reshape the sweater while damp, and let it dry flat on a clean towel away from direct heat to preserve the drape and the ribbed edging’s definition.
- The knit’s stitch structure and long buttoned sleeves are vulnerable to snagging and abrasion; turning the sweater inside out and washing it in a mesh bag on a delicate cycle shields the surface from friction that creates pills and pulls.
- Even though the 22% nylon adds abrasion resistance, the dominant reprocessed viscose is still susceptible to pilling from the friction of a normal spin cycle or rough fabrics, making a delicate cycle and washing with like items the best defense against fuzz.
- Viscose scorches and nylon can melt at high temperatures, so any necessary crease removal must be done on the reverse side with an iron set to low/synthetic heat and a clean cotton cloth between the iron and the fabric.
The sustainability of reprocessed viscose
- Manufacturing reprocessed viscose requires about one tonne of recycled textile waste to yield as much fiber as three tonnes of virgin wood pulp would for conventional viscose, so this knit directly reduces forestry demand.
- Nylon in the blend boosts tensile strength and abrasion resistance, which cuts pilling and helps the sweater maintain its shape through repeated wear — because a garment that stays in rotation longer carries a lower per-use environmental burden than one that pills early and gets discarded.
- One major fiber producer now runs a 35,000 ton-per-year recycled viscose line, which means the supply chain already supports mass-market fashion — not just experimental capsules — enabling pieces like this $39 sweater to exist at scale.

Wardrobe basic
I have 5 of these turtlenecks now and wear them all winter long. They wash easily, never pill, hold their shape, and fit well. My only wish is that they were an inch or two longer in the waist, to tuck in and stay put more reliably.
Nice sweater
I love the colour, and the details. The knit is very nice as well.

Navy turtleneck
Material is soft and feels cozy when you wear. Snug fit. Looks very stylish.
Classic, polished-look turtleneck
The viscose/nylon material makes it drape well, and it is very soft. Three gold buttons on the sleeves adds an element of interest. I bought four classic colors that are very versatile: camel, burgundy, brown and black. The price is very affordable. After Christmas it was on sale, and Simons will do a price adjustment on my recent purchase. Simons & Customer Service truly values clients.

My third colour
If you like a turtleneck that is neither super tight nor boxy and voluminous, this sweater is for you. The colour range is fantastic. The buttons at the wrist elevate it to work appropriate.

A perfect Fall staple!
I have this sweater in multiple colours - it's the perfect Fall/Winter staple for your wardrobe and can be dressed up or down. The neck is not too tight and the sizing is spot on. Note, the Contemporarie line of turtlenecks fit a big bigger than the Twik line, which seem to fit a bit more snug :)

Sizing
I wear a large in every other brand of sweater. This sweater, size large, was so small, I could barely get it on.
Beautiful Color & Unique Details, Just Wish It Was Longer
Lovely vibrant colour with the buttons adding a unique detail. I would have liked a little more length through the torso area, especially with this being winter apparel. I was surprised how soft it felt for upcycled material.
So comfortable
Beautiful dark blue, very comfortable and the neck is not too tight. The 3 buttons at the wrist is a nice detail. Will buy again in other colours.

Nice fabric, nice fit
It's surprisingly difficult to find a thin knit turtleneck in a comfortable fabric so I was pleased to find this one in a silky viscose knit. And so many colours to choose from! Love the gold button detail on the sleeves. I purchased in off-white and can wear without a nude bra showing through. The sweater wears regular and drapes in places, as shown, which I don't mind. But if you're looking for a more fitted look, maybe size down.

Q&A
3 answered- How does the regular fit compare to other Contemporaine sweaters? Does it run true to size, or is it oversized/undersized?
- This sweater has a regular fit, which is true to size — it's neither oversized nor undersized. Compared to other Contemporaine sweaters, it follows the same standard sizing as their regular-fit styles.
- How does the reprocessed viscose material feel compared to standard viscose? Is it more prone to pilling?
- Reprocessed viscose offers a silky, smooth feel similar to standard viscose, though it may have a slightly more textured hand due to the recycling process. Pilling can occur with any viscose, but the 22% nylon content adds strength and helps reduce pilling compared to 100% viscose knits.
- Is the turtleneck lined or has any extra layer? Does it feel soft against the neck?
- The turtleneck is not separately lined — it's constructed from the same knit fabric as the body. The silky reprocessed viscose and nylon blend feels soft and smooth against the neck, with no scratchiness reported by reviewers.
