Product Insights
The Sewn-In Shirt Shaker-Rib Sweater Vest from Contemporaine delivers a reversible, plush shaker-rib knit that is airy, dense (using 20-30% more yarn than stockinette), and highly elastic, retaining shape after wear. Its permanent layered look comes from a sewn-in poplin collar and cuffs that stay crisp and can be fastened or rolled, making it tie-ready and suitable as a single layer in transitional weather. The durable, machine-washable knit resists pilling, but the cotton shirt may shrink 3–8% on first wash, altering fit. A relaxed fit allows sizing down for a sleeker line.
Verified claims
