Product Insights
Le 31's Honeycomb Knit Sweater ($59) delivers a refined, expensive-looking three-dimensional texture that draws compliments in smart-casual and office settings, while the honeycomb knit resists stretching and retains shape. Its micro air pockets provide breathability, insulation, and moisture wicking within 2-3% of virgin polyester, making it seasonally versatile. Made from 65% recycled polyester (repurposing ~10 bottles, using 59% less energy), the knit feels soft and mimics virgin polyester. Buyers report pilling from friction (preventable by washing inside out) and occasional defects like pulled threads, so inspection is advised. Despite these tradeoffs, the sweater is comfortable, gifted, and repurchased, offering high-end aesthetics at a low price.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Honeycomb Knit Sweater: Choose this if you want a lightweight crew-neck knit with a refined honeycomb texture for daily wear, office or smart-casual settings — summarized customer reviews describe it as soft and comfortable, and some who wore out a previous unit bought it again. Its contrasting rolled crew neck is designed for a layered look, it comes in four sizes and five colors, and the fabric is 65% recycled-polyester and 35% cotton. Note that the knit is reported to pill when rubbed against other garments or bags, and one unit arrived with a pulled thread, so inspect it on delivery and wash inside out.[1] | Waffle Knit Sweater: Choose this if you want a long-sleeve crewneck pullover with an embossed waffle texture, raglan shoulder seams, and ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem, in a relaxed straight fit that layers well over a collared shirt. It is made of 70 percent reprocessed cotton and 30 percent polyester and is a Le 31 design from Simons, offered in Black, Oxford, and Pine/Bottle Green. Note that the listing shows only a SMALL size available, so it suits you only if that size works.[2,3,4,5] | Diamond-Textured Sweater: Choose this if you want an understated crew-neck pullover with visual interest: reviewers praise the small diamond-knit texture as a tactile, visual upgrade on a basic sweater, and it comes in a soft LENZING ECOVERO viscose blend in six colors from Black to Pink, sizes Small to X-Large. It is a Simons-exclusive Le 31 design made in Canada, logo-free, with ribbed neck, cuffs, and hem, and reviewers report it fits true to size — one noting generous arm length in their usual size — and is comfortable enough to be a go-to for lounging at home.[6,7,8] |

Satisfait!
Tissus confortable et doux au toucher. Par contre, laver à l'envers car les mailles peuvent mousser légèrement au frottement avec d'autres vêtements.
Beau
Tissus impeccable
Not the best quality
A thread on the center front of the sweater was pulled. It's clear that no one did any quality control.
Fits well
Its a nice piece of clothing. I damaged my last one so I bought 2!
