- 100% responsible wool knit
- responsible_wool
- Responsible wool is Simons' own farm-level designation, not a named third-party standard like RWS
- fit
- Deliberately generous boxy fit with no waist shaping; one reviewer found it roughly 1.5x wider than another oversized sweater in the same size
- sizing
- Available in X-SMALL through LARGE, but Burgundy only comes in X-SMALL and LARGE

- Dropped shoulder seams sit well down the upper arm
- sleeves
- Long, roomy sleeves with a soft, slightly ballooned profile that tapers into ribbed cuffs
- hem
- Wide ribbed hem with a small side slit at the seam
- neckline
- Narrow ribbed crew neckline sits close to the base of the neck
- knit_construction
- Medium-gauge stockinette knit with a soft, slightly fuzzy wool texture
- drape
- Medium-gauge wool knit should have enough drape to keep the boxy shape flattering rather than stiff
- comfort
- Pure wool wicks moisture, breathes and resists odour; wool can absorb up to 35% of its own weight in moisture
- durability
- Wool is naturally resilient and elastic; a wool fibre can bend 20,000 times without breaking
- pilling
- Wool knit may pill; pilling is not automatically a sign of inferior wool, and softer, less-twisted yarns pill more easily
- pilling_care
- Remove pills by laying the sweater flat and cutting them with sharp scissors or a lint razor/wool comb—do not pluck them by hand
- care
- Hand wash only in cold water, separately; do not soak or bleach; reshape and lay flat to dry
- care_ironing
- Iron inside out on low if needed

| Boxy-Fit Pure Wool Sweater: Choose this if you want a 100% wool crewneck in a relaxed, slightly cropped boxy silhouette with dropped shoulders and roomy sleeves that taper to ribbed cuffs. It pairs the pure, responsibly sourced wool with ribbed trim at the neckline, cuffs, and wide hem band, in Off White or Burgundy across sizes X-Small to Large. Note that Burgundy is listed only in X-Small and Large, so mid-size shoppers are limited to Off White.[1,2,3] | Shaker-Rib Boxy-Fit Sweater: Choose this if you want a soft knit sweater with vertical shaker ribbing—a stitch that produces a very thick, airy fabric—made from a reprocessed cotton blend of 57% reprocessed cotton, 36% acrylic, and 7% polyester. Its boxy, cropped silhouette with raglan sleeves and wide ribbed edging at the collar, cuffs, and hem suits relaxed, casual styling, and it is a Simons-exclusive Contemporaine design made in Canada. It is offered in X-Small, Small, Medium, and Large, so it may not work for sizes beyond that range.[4,5] | Two-Tone Openwork Boxy-Fit Sweater: Choose this if you want a relaxed, boxy crew-neck sweater with a two-tone marled openwork knit: it is made of 60% reprocessed cotton and 40% acrylic, has a straight body that falls to the hip with a slightly cropped hem, and finishes with ribbed neckline, hem, and wide ribbed cuffs. It is offered in sizes X-Small through X-Large. Note that the openwork stitch pattern includes small visible holes as part of the design, and image descriptions differ on sleeve length, variously describing three-quarter sleeves or wide elbow-length sleeves.[6,7,8,9] |

Pilling already
Ordered this online and the fibre length is very short. It was pilling and looked well worn before I even put it on. Didn’t even try on the fit but I did order it at the same time as another oversized sweater in the same size and this is about 1.5X the width so boxy is an understatement
