Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Zip-Neck Waffle-Knit Sweater: Choose this if you want a polished half-zip sweater that works for both office and casual wear, with a short stand collar, metal half-zip, ribbed cuffs and hem, and a substantial embossed waffle knit in 70% reprocessed cotton and 30% polyester. Reviewers describe the fit as true to size and comfortable enough for all-day wear, and it comes in six colors from Black to Sage Green in sizes Small to X-Large. Note that one online buyer found the original size or color didn't suit and had to reorder, so it's worth double-checking your pick before ordering.[1,2,3] | Zip-Neck Embossed Knit Sweater: Choose this if you want a Le 31 mock-neck pullover with a short half-zip stand collar designed for easy layering, a soft textured knit in a LENZING ECOVERO viscose blend, and embossed knit texture with ribbed collar, cuffs and hem. It is listed in five colors from Black to Baby Blue in sizes SMALL through X-LARGE, though the image analysis was of the black variant. Note that reviews of the embossed texture technique describe excellent durability, but that durability claim refers to the technique generally, not to reported experiences with this sweater.[4,5,6,7] | Minimalist Zip-Neck Sweater: Choose this if you want a versatile mock-neck zip sweater with a sleek, tailored-but-not-tight fit that reviewers found runs true to size and pairs well with both jeans and tailored pants. It is made of 100% reprocessed (recycled) cotton knit with ribbed cuffs, hem, and collar, a centered metal half-zip, and comes in six colors—Charcoal, Off White, Hazelnut, Green, Navy/Midnight Blue, and Dark Red—in sizes SMALL through X-LARGE. One caution: long-term wash durability, colorfastness, and shape retention after machine washing are unconfirmed because no reviewer had laundered it yet, so frequent machine-washers may want to proceed with care.[8,9] |
