Product Insights
This soft, fine-gauge reprocessed cotton cables sweater from Contemporaine feels broken-in and itch-free, offering light warmth ideal for 50–65°F as a solo piece or midlayer. Its cropped length hits at the hip, best suited for 5'4" and under (may gap on taller frames), and requires hand-wash and air-dry flat to maintain its shape and color, which buyers report stays vibrant. At $49.95 CAD, it undercuts alternatives by roughly $40, while its ribbed edging, even stitching, and regular fit—longer than comparable cropped styles—provide a reliable, versatile layer.

A light layer for spring and fall days
Customers report layering this lightweight cotton cable sweater over a tee in transitional weather, saying its open-knit cotton breathes well without trapping heat or adding bulk. Note the fit feedback: it runs short, cut to sit at the hip, so reviewers suggest sizing up if you're above 5 feet 6 inches or prefer more coverage.[2]
Smart-casual office wear
A classic cable knit in solid colours that's reported to dress up jeans for the office while staying soft and comfortable through the day. Keep in mind the cropped cut can leave a gap above the waistband, so it tends to pair best with high-rise bottoms.[2]
Cool summer evening layer
This cable-knit sweater works as a light layer for cool summer evenings, when it is reported to feel comfortable thanks to breathable cotton. Per an analysis of customer reviews, wearers have reached for it on occasions like a beach bonfire or a late dinner on the patio.[2]
Packing for a travel capsule wardrobe
According to an analysis of customer reviews, this cable sweater is reported to be light, foldable, and resistant to wrinkles, making it easy to tuck into a suitcase. Reviewers also report that its colour range, from a crisp white to a soft lavender, holds up wash after wash and makes it easy to match with multiple outfits while traveling.[2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Reprocessed Cotton Cables Sweater: Choose this for spring and fall layering: reviewers report this 100% reprocessed cotton cable-knit crewneck is lightweight, breathable, and unusually soft with no itchiness even on sensitive skin, making it a comfortable pick over a tee or for smart-casual office wear. It comes in a regular, relaxed fit with ribbed trims and a classic vertical cable pattern in several colors. Be aware that it runs short in the body — the cropped cut sits at the hip and pairs best with high-rise bottoms, so taller shoppers or those who dislike midriff-baring may want to size up — and it requires hand-washing and air-drying, since machine care risks shrinking, stretching, or pilling.[1,2,3] | Reprocessed Cotton Cable-Knit Sweater: Choose this if you want a relaxed, boxy crew-neck cable-knit made entirely of reprocessed cotton that the brand describes as ultra comfortable. Its cable-and-rib pattern runs down the body and long sleeves, finished with ribbed collar, hem and cuffs, and it comes in XS to XL across Ivory/Cream Beige, Mossy Green, and Navy/Midnight Blue. Note that the fit shown on the model is boxy and slightly oversized with dropped shoulders, so size expectations should account for that relaxed silhouette.[4,5,6] | Solid Cable-Knit Sweater: Choose this for a lightweight, soft-feeling crewneck with an all-over vertical cable pattern and ribbed neckline, cuffs and hem — reviewers describe warmth without bulk, comfortable all-day indoor wear, and easy pairing with jeans, skirts or dress pants. Note that reported sizing is inconsistent: sleeve lengths can vary by up to 6 cm between colors, and the short torso can fit crop-like on taller frames or long torsos, so sizing up or checking the length is advised.[7,8] |

It is a gift. It was a red sale item. Quality and a nice color. I am happy with my purchase
Beautiful colour, cotton is nice
This sweater is exactly as pictured. The blue is a lovely shade (just very subtly leaning towards teal), and the cotton is very nice. I got my regular size and it fits appropriately, which is a bit loosely. I could probably have gotten a size smaller if I'd wanted a tighter fit.
