Scoop-Neck Slim-Fit Tank

Verified claims

Stretch and shape

3% elastane allows sizing up or down while maintaining the slim silhouette after washing.

Care

Machine wash cold inside out and flat dry to prevent stretching and limit shrinkage.

Fabric feel

TENCEL modal resists wrinkling, wicks moisture faster than cotton, and limits odor.

Washing

Wash inside out in a mesh bag with cold water and a liquid enzyme-free detergent.

Drying

Flat dry to prevent stretching; avoid high heat from dryers or irons.

Value

Costs half of Organic Basics' comparable tank at $29 CAD.

Fabric performance

TENCEL modal moves moisture 30–50% faster than cotton.

Sustainable production

TENCEL modal's closed-loop process recovers over 99% of solvents.

Sheerness

Off White and Pink colorways can be see-through; darker shades are opaque.

Moisture

Moves moisture 30-50% faster than cotton and stays fresher longer.

Shape retention

Wrinkle resistance and 4-way stretch recovery maintain the fit; high heat risks shrinkage and loss of stretch.

Surface durability

Pilling-resistant modal; dark colors require gentle washing to avoid fibrillation.

Origins

Designed in Canada as a Simons private label, reducing supply chain distance.

Eco-materials

58% organic cotton, 39% TENCEL modal from closed-loop and organic farming.

Longevity

Anti-pilling, odor control, wrinkle resistance, and shape retention from modal and elastane.

Slim fit sizing and how it hugs the body

• The 3% elastane in the organic cotton–TENCEL™ modal jersey delivers enough elasticity for the tank to hug the body without losing shape after wear — the slim fit relies on this mechanical stretch to accommodate natural variation in bust and ribcage, so sizing up or down for personal preference is safe within one size.

How it compares to other tanks at this price

• Quince’s Cotton Modal Double Scoop Neck Tank sells for $16 USD (≈$22 CAD) but pairs conventional cotton with generic modal; the Contemporaine tank costs $29 CAD and upgrades to organic cotton and TENCEL™ modal — a $7 CAD difference that buys verified organic farming and a trademarked, responsibly sourced fiber.
• The Organic Basics Easy Tank uses a similar 47% organic cotton / 48% TENCEL modal blend and retails for £33 ($58 CAD); the Contemporaine tank, with a higher organic-cotton proportion and identical TENCEL-based modal, delivers a near-equivalent eco-material for $29 CAD — effectively stripping out the typical green-basics markup.
• Contemporaine is a private label of Simons, the 1840-founded Quebec department store, ensuring a direct-from-brand supply chain and a Canadian design heritage that distinguishes it from generic mass-market import tanks.
• The OAK + FORT Form Cami at $28 USD (≈$39 CAD) is made of 68% rayon / 27% nylon / 5% spandex, a synthetic-heavy blend that prioritizes shape retention over breathability; the Contemporaine tank at $29 CAD trades synthetics for a majority natural-fiber mix with just 3% elastane, offering skin-friendly, moisture-absorbing wear at a lower absolute cost.
• This jersey composition — typically found only in eco-premium basics priced above $40 CAD — combines certified organic farming with Lenzing's TENCEL™ modal; at $29 CAD, it undercuts the nearest like-for-like competitor, the Organic Basics Easy Tank (£33 / ~$58 CAD regular), by nearly half, making it one of the best-value TENCEL™-labeled tanks available.

What the organic cotton and TENCEL modal blend feels like

• Lenzing Modal's cylindrical fiber structure is inherently resistant to the surface fuzzing and bobbling that cause cotton tees to look tired — blends of this type are specified with strong anti-pilling performance, so the tank's smooth, pristine finish endures through repeated machine cycles.
• The 3% elastane content gives the jersey a gentle, lasting stretch that resists sagging after wash cycles — similar modal-cotton-spandex knits are praised for their 4-way stretch and incredible recovery, so this tank keeps its slim silhouette without bagging at the armholes or neckline.
• The addition of modal fibers dramatically reduces the creasing that plagues pure cotton jersey — the tank holds a crisp, fresh appearance straight off a hanger or out of a drawer, requiring little to no ironing for everyday wear.
• TENCEL modal is manufactured by Lenzing AG in a closed-loop process that recovers and recycles more than 99% of the non-toxic solvent, while organic cotton cultivation eliminates synthetic inputs — the blend matches the sustainability expectations of a contemporary wardrobe without the performance concessions of many eco-focused fabrics.
• TENCEL modal's smooth, less porous surface provides fewer crevices for odor bacteria to colonize compared to cotton's hollow infrastructure — in wear tests, modal tees consistently develop less odor than cotton equivalents, making this tank a stealthy choice for long commutes or warm days when you are away from a laundry.
• TENCEL modal fibers move moisture 30–50% faster than conventional cotton, actively channeling sweat away from the skin and across the fabric surface for rapid evaporation — with 39% modal content, this tank dries faster and clings less than a pure cotton cami, keeping you cooler whether you are commuting or working out.
