Product Insights
Contemporaine's Fine-Knit Johnny Collar Sweater, at $49 CAD undercutting comparable styles by $50-$100, offers a sustainable, recycled blend of 78% reprocessed viscose and 22% nylon that feels cool against the skin and wicks moisture, extending wear across seasons. Its smooth, fluid drape maintains a polished shape without clinging, while nylon reinforcement prevents elbow bagging and pilling, keeping the relaxed silhouette sharp. The tradeoff: it requires cold wash on delicate cycle and flat drying to preserve its condition.
Verified claims
- Drape
- Fabric falls in soft, fluid folds that skim the body without clinging.
- Hand feel
- Smooth, compact surface that feels cool against the skin.
- Shape retention
- Nylon reinforcement reduces elbow bagging and pilling, helping the relaxed silhouette hold its shape through a full day.
- Recycled content
- 78% reprocessed viscose, 22% nylon from waste, lower environmental impact.
- Price comparison
- At $49 CAD, undercuts Madewell Johnny collars by $50-$100 and is Contemporaine's cheapest Johnny collar.
- Cooling effect
- Viscose's moisture regain creates a cooling effect, extending wear across seasons.
- Care
- Wash in cold water (≤30°C) on delicate cycle and dry flat.
- Cooling and breathability
- Viscose content provides a cooling sensation and wicks moisture for breathability.
- Fit and sizing
- This relaxed-fit sweater has extra room without being oversized; shoppers between sizes should size down for a closer fit.
- Collar care
- After washing, press water out gently instead of wringing and reshape the Johnny collar while damp to prevent a curled or misshapen neckline.
- Storage
- Store the sweater folded rather than hung to avoid stretching the shoulder seams and banded hem over time.
- Detergent and softener
- Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent formulated for delicates and avoid chlorine bleach and fabric softener to keep the knit soft and prevent premature aging.

| Fine-Knit Johnny Collar Sweater: Choose this if you want a long-sleeve pullover with a shallow V neckline and small folded Johnny collar, in a fine, supple, stretch knit made of 78% reprocessed viscose and 22% nylon. It has a relaxed fit through the torso with ribbed cuffs and hem, and comes in X-SMALL to X-LARGE across five colors including Black, Oxford, Pine/Bottle Green, Blue, and Grape/Dark Crimson. Note that the hem appears slightly cropped on the model, sitting above the hipline, so consider that length as worn.[1,2,3] | Scalloped Johnny Collar Openwork Sweater: Choose this for a relaxed, boxy short-sleeve pullover with a pointed open Johnny collar, scalloped white trim on the collar and sleeves, and a horizontal openwork knit that shows rows of small eyelets. It is made from a stretchy 60% reprocessed cotton and 40% acrylic blend with a wide ribbed hem, in a Contemporaine by Simons design exclusive made in Canada, offered in Pine/Bottle Green and Red in sizes SMALL and MEDIUM (Red listed in MEDIUM only). Note that it is described as slightly cropped, ending at the model's high hip, so it may sit shorter than a full-length sweater.[4,5] | Broad Stripes Johnny-Collar Sweater: Choose this if you want an ultra-comfortable, stretchy 100% reprocessed cotton pullover with broad horizontal stripes, a deep open V Johnny collar, long set-in sleeves, and ribbed cuffs and hem in a loose, boxy silhouette. Note that an analysis of customer reviews reports it runs significantly large, and even sizing down may not prevent a baggy, sloppy look for some body types. It is offered in sizes X-Small through X-Large.[6,7,8] |
