Product Insights
This 99 CAD exclusive Simons 'Imported from Seoul' streetwear piece is a felted cardigan crafted from an 80% polyester, 20% rayon blend that feels soft and breathable against skin. The dense felted knit blocks wind and holds its cropped shape, serving as a mid-weight mid-layer without adding bulk. Drop shoulders and the felted knit give the cropped silhouette a balanced, oversized fit, while cinching the drawstring transforms it from boxy to A-line with a sculptural blouson effect. The drop shoulder widens the upper body to visually balance the cropped hem, making it wind-resistant yet breathable for breezy layering. Machine washable on gentle cold cycle; lay flat to dry.

The felting process compacts the knit into a denser fabric; according to Knitting Paradise,
a felted sweater is even more wind resistant than a regular, knitted wool sweater.

This combination allows the cardigan to serve as a practical lightweight outer layer for breezy days.
The drop-shoulder construction creates a broad upper block that visually counters the cropped hem, resulting in an oversized proportion characteristic of Seoul streetwear. The felted knit's dense hand and body give the cropped silhouette a sculptural shape that holds when cinched, as described:

The drop shoulder construction places the seam past the natural shoulder, creating a wide upper block that counterbalances the short hem, resulting in an intentionally oversized proportion rather than a shrunken fit.
- Blouson effect
Cinching the drawstring transforms the silhouette from boxy to A-line with a sculptural blouson, without bulk.
Why this is supported
The felted knit's structural density ensures the drawstring blouson effect is sculptural, not saggy. As one analysis notes,
