Product Insights
This fine-knit sweater adapts the button-free Johnny collar from 1950s sportswear, creating a sleek V-neck that elongates the neck. Its 50% LENZING ECOVERO viscose blend delivers a soft, flowing drape that layers under blazers without bunching, making it versatile from casual to business-casual. The comfort fit runs slightly roomier for natural drape, but maintaining the minimalist shape requires flat drying and avoiding fabric softener, and cold wash limits shrinkage to 4-8%. The ECOVERO viscose reduces water and carbon impact by at least 50% and includes a built-in authenticity marker.
