eco-vest alternatives cannot claim — for a basic layering piece, that domestic creative origin adds a point of distinction and pride for buyers who favour Canadian design over anonymous global sourcing.","fine_viscose_hand_vs_brushed_fleece_interior":"The fine LENZING ECOVERO viscose knit creates a smooth, silky drape that contrasts sharply with the brushed fleece interior and abrasion-resistant armholes of the Quince recycled-polyester vest — the Le 31 wears like a lightweight sweater rather than technical outerwear, sliding under a jacket with zero bulk.","price_advantage_vs_dtc_recycled_polyester_vest":"At $50 CAD (approximately $36 USD), the Le 31 Soft Knit Vest undercuts the $39.90 USD Quince Sweater-Knit Fleece Vest while exchanging recycled polyester for LENZING ECOVERO viscose — a premium, wood-based fiber that brings a softer hand and lower-impact sourcing, making it the more wallet-friendly entry into eco-conscious layering.","pullover_v_neck_silhouette_for_smart_casual_layering":"A clean pullover V-neck without zippered pockets or a full-zip front — unlike the Quince vest’s hardware-heavy design — allows the Le
