Product Insights
The Icône dense knit elongated vest cinches the waist with a hidden back strap for an hourglass or relaxed silhouette, doubles as a standalone top with moisture management, and layers comfortably over sweaters or blazers thanks to its stretchy knit, adjustable back strap, and satiny lining. The dense knit stretches and recovers its shape to prevent sagging, while 55% reprocessed polyester provides indistinguishable feel from virgin material and avoids crude oil use. At $69 CAD, it serves as a top, layering piece, and waist-defining tool, requiring folding and storage away from light to maintain integrity.

miolook.com, indicating it retains shape when layered.
- Moisture management
Knit absorbs 0.4% moisture, drying quickly under layers.
Why this is supported
Deep research into the fabric's properties confirms the
moisture absorption of just 0.4%
textiletuts.com, meaning sweat evaporates from the surface to keep the vest dry and comfortable under layers.
- Recycled polyester
Blind tests show this recycled polyester feels identical to virgin, and each kg avoids 1.5 kg crude oil.
Why this is supported
Blind touch tests confirm that recycled polyester can feel identical to virgin polyester:
In blind touch tests, most consumers can no longer tell the difference between a high-quality recycled polyester garment and a virgin one.
fashion.sustainability-directory.comFurthermore, each kilogram of recycled polyester used in the vest eliminates the need for about 1.5 kg of crude oil—
Crude oil input | ~1.5 kg/kg | 0 (post-consumer PET) | 100% lower
natuclothes.com—and the rPET's moisture absorption of just 0.4% means perspiration does not soak into the fiber:
rPET’s moisture absorption of just 0.4% means it does not wick perspiration into the fiber — instead, moisture travels through capillary action along the fiber surface
textiletuts.comso the vest stays dry-feeling even under layers.
- Longevity

Why this is supported

The dense knit stretches and recovers its shape, preventing sagging.
Why this is supported

- Value
At 69 CAD, works as top, layering piece, and waist-defining tool.
Why this is supported
The vest's adjustable cinch and covered buttons allow it to be worn as an evening top, over sweaters, or as a waist-defining layer. Its slit pockets sit flush for secure storage.
Successful layering is based on the principle of contrasting textures. If the bottom layer is smooth (cotton, silk, viscose), the top layer should be textured (chunky knit, bouclé, ribbed).
miolook.comThis principle supports the vest's use as a textured layer over smooth fabrics. At $69, it delivers the utility of multiple garments.
- Sustainability
55% reprocessed polyester avoids crude oil and passes blind touch parity.
Why this is supported
The vest's reprocessed polyester content avoids the environmental impact of virgin polyester:
Crude oil input | ~1.5 kg/kg | 0 (post-consumer PET) | 100% lower
natuclothes.comAnd the fabric quality is maintained:
In blind touch tests, most consumers can no longer tell the difference between a high-quality recycled polyester garment and a virgin one.
