Rugby Stripes Loose Polo-Collar Sweater
This is a long-sleeve, loose-fit rugby-striped polo-collar sweater from Simons' Icône line, designed in Canada. It is made from a soft, stretch knit of reprocessed cotton, with a contrasting white polo collar, hidden button placket, ribbed cuffs and hem, and a horizontal stripe pattern in desaturated navy, deep burgundy, and muted light blue. The sweater's relaxed, boxy silhouette with slightly dropped shoulders makes it suitable for casual everyday wear.

Product Insights
Icône’s Rugby Stripes Loose Polo-Collar Sweater offers a sustainable, affordable alternative at $69, using reprocessed cotton that saves up to 20,000 L water per kg and avoids chemical inputs compared to virgin cotton, while featuring a hidden-button collar and a shape-retaining polyester-rayon-spandex collar. The main tradeoff is that the reprocessed cotton is more prone to pilling and requires cold washing and flat drying to maintain its appearance.
Verified claims
- Environmental impact
- The reprocessed cotton body can save up to 20,000 L of water per kg of fiber compared with virgin cotton, and it avoids the pesticide and fertilizer inputs required for virgin cotton.
- Material
- Body made of reprocessed cotton instead of synthetic or acrylic.
- Pilling
- More prone to pilling than virgin cotton due to shorter fibers.
- Competitive price
- At $69, reprocessed-cotton sweater, $19 less than Oak+Fort's blend.
- Collar shape
- The contrast collar's 75% polyester, 20% rayon, 5% spandex blend resists curling and holds its shape better over time than a pure-cotton collar.
- Hidden button placket
- Hidden-button collar provides a streamlined, elevated look versus visible-button competitors.
- Care
- Wash in cold water on gentle cycle and air dry to minimize shrinkage and pilling.
- Fit and sizing
- Buyer fit reports are mixed: several reviewers describe the sweater as oversized or 'over size' and say they sized down, while one reviewer advises wearing a size larger than usual.
- Comfort and fabric weight
- Buyers describe the sweater as comfy and good-fitting, though one notes the knit is thinner than expected for a rugby-style sweater.
- Value vs similar rugby knits
- At $69, the sweater undercuts L.L.Bean’s $109 100% cotton rugby polo and uses a reprocessed cotton body for a natural-fiber feel at a lower price.

Casual dinners and brunch
A loose rugby-stripe sweater with a polo collar for dressed-down social occasions like casual dinners and brunch. Its eye-catching design draws frequent compliments, especially when paired with jeans. Keep in mind the fabric may snag or pill after minimal wear, so handle it with care.[1]
Light layering piece for in-between weather
Per a synthesis of customer reviews, this lightweight knit works well layered over a t-shirt or under a jacket when the weather is transitioning between seasons, adding a breathable layer without bulk. Keep in mind that some reviewers found the fabric thinner than expected for a rugby sweater, and it may not feel warm enough in cold weather on its own.[1]
For an oversized streetwear look
This Icône rugby-stripe sweater is designed with a deliberately relaxed fit, which reviewers highlight as well suited to an oversized streetwear look. Based on review analysis, if you prefer a closer fit, you could consider sizing down.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Rugby Stripes Loose Polo-Collar Sweater: Choose this if you want a deliberately relaxed, boxy sweater for an oversized streetwear look — most reviewers size down for a less exaggerated silhouette — with wide navy, burgundy, and blue stripes, a contrasting white polo collar, and a lightweight knit that layers over a t-shirt or under a jacket. Its eye-catching design draws frequent compliments, especially paired with jeans. Note that the fabric is thinner than a traditional rugby sweater, so it may not provide warmth in cold weather without layers, and reviewers report snagging and pulling after only a few wears, so handle it with care.[1,2] | Jewel-Button Rugby Stripes Polo Shirt: Choose this if you want a relaxed, boxy long-sleeve polo with wide horizontal rugby stripes in soft, stretchy sweater-knit fabric made with forest-conscious LENZING ECOVERO viscose. It features a contrasting white pointed collar, three decorative gold-tone jewel buttons on a short dark brown placket, ribbed cuffs, and a straight, slightly cropped hem that sits above the waist. It comes in X-Small through X-Large across three colorways (Brown, Navy/Midnight Blue, and Orange), so it works best for those who like a cropped silhouette.[3,4,5,6] | Textured Stripes Ultra-Soft Mock-Neck Sweater: Choose this if you want a relaxed, slightly boxy mock-neck sweater with a soft stretch knit, wide sleeves, and wide ribbed hem and cuffs. It features evenly spaced black horizontal stripes across the torso and sleeves on a cream-beige ground in the colorway shown, made from a blend of 50% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose, 28% polyester, and 22% nylon. It comes in four colorways (Ecru/Linen, Khaki/Sage/Olive, Slate Blue, and Grape/Dark Crimson), each listed in sizes X-Small through X-Large.[7,8,9] |
