Product Insights
Le 31's Waffle Knit Sweater (89 CAD, in stock) is a relaxed raglan crew built as a low-bulk, smart-casual mid-layer: dead-air waffle cells trap warmth without weight, the raised grid spreads sweat and keeps knit off skin, and the structured silhouette skims rather than clings, so it layers over collared shirts without bunching. Its 70% reprocessed cotton (traced to Simons' Vision, though not third-party certified) plus 30% polyester scaffold delays pilling and prevents elbow/hem bagging, while texture reads more defined in person for a tactile, premium feel. The tradeoff sits in care and color: waffle loops snag on jewelry or straps — requiring lay-flat drying — and sizing relies on the body-measurement chart, not garment specs. Colorways differentiate sharply: Black is the achromatic, no-undertone match for dark outerwear with the longest color retention; Pine/Bottle Green is the sole earth-tone choice, but black and green both soften gradually with laundering, while Oxford remains the other neutral; all three share the same size, price, and stock availability, varying only by color.
Verified claims
- Insulation
- Dead-air waffle cells deliver heavier-knit warmth without bulk and resist outside heat when it's warm.
- Moisture handling
- Waffle grid spreads sweat across the fabric to dry faster while the raised knit stays off the skin.
- Layering
- Relaxed waffle crew layers over a collared shirt without clinging for smart-casual wear.
- Care instructions
- The care instructions call for hand washing: do not bleach, soak, or wring, and reshape and lay flat to dry. It is not designed for the dryer; if machine washing at all, use a cold gentle cycle and still lay flat rather than tumble drying. Iron with or without steam.
- Cotton provenance
- Recycled cotton comes from reclaimed clothing and fabric scraps under Simons' Vision program, not third-party certified.
- Durability
- Polyester scaffold delays pilling and resists elbow and hem bagging vs pure recycled cotton.
- Waffle texture
- Embossed waffle texture stays sharp and insulates, but may snag on jewelry or straps.
- Comfort & warmth
- Air pockets add natural insulation without weight; buyers call it cozy and light.
- Drape
- Waffle knit skims rather than clings for a structured silhouette that layers well.
- Texture appearance
- Texture appears more defined in person, giving a tactile premium feel.
- Snagging risk
- Raised waffle texture can snag on bag straps or jewelry.
- Sizing
- To size this waffle sweater a shopper uses the published body-measurement chart, not finished garment measurements.
- Fit & styling
- Relaxed raglan waffle knit layers over collared shirts as a low-bulk mid-layer.
- Material
- 70% reprocessed cotton, 30% polyester; the poly limits pilling and shape loss, and recycled fiber traces to Simons' Vision.
- Variant parity
- All three colorways share the SMALL size, 89 CAD price, and stock status — only the color differs.
- Colorway roles
- Black is the neutral colorway with a quieter waffle texture; Pine/Bottle Green is the earthy option.
- Black colorway
- Black is the only achromatic colorway, making it the no-undertone-matching option for dark outerwear.
- Green colorway
- Pine/Bottle Green is the only explicitly green colorway, so buying it chooses an earth-tone piece rather than a neutral base.
- Shrinkage
- The 30% polyester blend minimizes shrinkage compared with 100% cotton knits; high-heat machine drying can still cause about 1-2% shrinkage, so wash cold and lay flat to dry rather than sizing up.
- Warmth range
- This is a medium-weight knit suited to layering under a jacket or coat in mild winter; as a standalone piece it works best around 10-15°C (50-60°F) or for indoor wear in cooler settings.
- Fit
- The sweater has a classic crew neck cut and fits true to size; the recycled cotton-blend knit gives it a bit of structure so it follows the body without being tight. Size up for a more relaxed look.
