Product Insights

Le 31's Minimalist Zip-Neck Sweater delivers a sustainable, logo-free design in tonal hues for a sleek, elongated silhouette, using 100% recycled cotton knit that breathes naturally but has a slightly textured hand—a tradeoff for its eco-friendly credentials. At $89, it undercuts comparable eco zip-necks, works as a mid-layer or standalone, and is designed in Canada exclusively for Simons, reinforcing the brand's commitment to recycled materials.

Verified claims

Material
100% recycled cotton knit breathes naturally and has a slightly textured hand.
Value
At $89, this sweater undercuts comparable eco zip-necks like RADMOR's Chappie ($150).
Environmental impact
Knit from 100% recycled cotton (post-industrial), so it significantly reduces water and carbon footprint versus virgin cotton and avoids virgin raw materials.
Design origin
Designed in Canada and exclusive to Simons.
Curated minimalism
Logo-free design in tonal hues for a minimalist wardrobe.
Tonal dressing
Charcoal and navy variants worn tonally create sleek elongated silhouette.
Hem
Tuck hem between top and middle of fly for leg-lengthening effect.
Mid-layer
A warm layering piece for everyday use that works as a mid-layer under a jacket and standalone in mild weather.
Collar
Smooth for layering under jackets; soft, cozy and structured for standalone wear.
Sustainability
Le 31 frequently uses recycled cotton and offers LENZING ECOVERO viscose in selected styles.
Knit thickness
The sweater is made in a medium-gauge heathered knit that is substantial enough to layer under a jacket without adding fleece-like bulk.
Hand feel
The recycled cotton gives the sweater a slightly more textured hand than extra-long staple virgin cotton, though it remains soft.
Fit
Buyers report the sweater runs true to size, with a fit that is neither too loose nor too fitted.
Breathability
As a 100% recycled cotton knit, it delivers natural-fiber breathability compared with recycled polyester blends.

Zip-Neck Embossed Knit Sweater

Le 31

simons.ca

Minimalist Zip-Neck Sweater: Choose this if you want a versatile, minimalist half-zip mock-neck sweater that works from chic to casual, with a zipped ribbed collar, ribbed cuffs and hem, and an ultra-comfortable knit made of 100% reprocessed (recycled) cotton. Reviewers report the sizing runs true to size with a tailored-but-not-tight fit, and the design comes in six colors — Charcoal, Off White, Hazelnut, Green, Navy/Midnight Blue, and Dark Red — in sizes SMALL through X-LARGE. Note that wash durability is unconfirmed, with no reported long-term results for colorfastness or shape retention after machine washing, so frequent machine washers may want to proceed with caution.[1]Zip-Neck Embossed Knit Sweater: Choose this for a mock-neck pullover with a short ribbed collar and central half-zip, finished with ribbed cuffs and hem and an all-over embossed knit texture. It is a fine knit in a LENZING ECOVERO viscose blend (50% viscose, 28% polyester, 22% nylon per the retailer), so it may suit you if you prefer that soft, lightweight feel over a wool or heavy cotton knit. It comes in five colors (Black, Beige, Brown, Mint, and Baby Blue) and four sizes from small to X-large.[2,3,4]Ribbed Zip-Neck Sweater Imported From Seoul: Choose this if you want a fitted, fine-ribbed knit sweater with an adjustable zipped mock neck — the short metal half-zip opens into a small V at the throat, and long raglan sleeves end in narrow ribbed cuffs. It is made of stretchy ribbed cotton-blend jersey (72% polyester, 24% rayon, 4% spandex) in black or white, in a Seoul-imported Le 31 style. The fit is close to the body with a hem that sits around the hips, and the listing shows only medium and large sizes.[5,6,7,8]
