It is made from 100% recycled cotton with a thick, textured vertical pattern in cream, blue, teal, and brown tones. Designed in Canada, this sweater is inspired by vintage COOGI knitwear and offers a relaxed, oversized fit.

Product Insights
Djab's Oversized Mixed-Knit Sweater pays explicit homage to COOGI, the brand immortalized by Biggie, for $89 CAD — far less than new or vintage COOGI. It captures the oversized fit and mixed-knit texture but simplifies to a front-only knit, trading some authenticity for accessibility. The 100% reprocessed cotton is initially firm and matte, softening with washing and draping architecturally; it's more prone to pilling than virgin cotton, though thick knit masks loose fibers. Sustainability is a strength: 87% lower carbon emissions than conventional cotton, no dyeing required. At this price and in five sizes, it's the easier, cheaper entry into the COOGI aesthetic, with a deliberate oversized structure that stands away from the body.

Trop grand pour un Small
Trop grand ! Il m’aurait fallu un XS. La légende pour la grandeur Small ne correspond pas à une taille normale pour un homme de petite taille. Il faudrait tenir compte qu’il y a des hommes de petite taille.
Très beau desing

Sweater in style of Australian Coogi design
This sweater is reminiscent of the expensive Coogi sweaters popularized by hip hop artists. It is very striking and classy. There are similar Italian 3-d knits. This sweater is much more affordable than either the Coogi or Italian versions.
