| Striped Pure Merino Wool Boat-Neck Sweater: Choose this if you want a fine-knit sweater made entirely of responsibly sourced merino wool, in a standard fit with a ribbed boat neck, long fitted sleeves, and narrow alternating black-and-off-white stripes across the body and sleeves. It comes in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large in two colors (Patterned Black and Patterned Blue), and on the model shown it sits fitted through the torso with the hem at the hip, though fit may vary by body and size.[1,2,3] | Striped Soft Sweater: Choose this if you want a soft, stretchy knit layer for transitional fall and spring weather — reviewed customers describe lightweight warmth rather than the heft of a heavy winter knit. It has a relaxed-fit crew neck with ribbed collar, cuffs and hem, horizontal black and off-white stripes aligned across the seams, and a blend of 50% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose, 28% polyester and 22% nylon that reviewers found gentle on skin and suitable for those with wool allergies. It comes in sizes X-Small to X-Large across five colorways (Black, Grey, Hazelnut, Indigo/Dark Blue and Mauve), and the analyzed reviews report it fits true to size with a flattering, not-too-thick drape.[4,5] | Striped Fine-Knit Sweater: Choose this if you want a soft, lightweight fine-knit crewneck with a classic horizontal stripe pattern that dresses up with accessories or down with jeans, and that customer reviews describe as comfortable for all-day wear at work or home. It has a slim, straight fit that is generally true to size with ribbed neckline, cuffs and hem, and is reported to be well-constructed and shape-retaining. Skip it if you are tall or prefer a tunic-length fit, since some reviewers found the body runs slightly short, and note the actual color may differ from online photos, especially the raspberry shade.[6,7,8] |

Wonderful!
This has been my go to since it arrived, and it is so soft and warm while being delicate. The boat neck and stripes are very chic to boot! Bought medium so as to be a little loose to fit a tank top under.
Great, versatile top!
Very soft wool top that is perfect layer for fall days or by itself with dress pants (also from Simons!). The fit was spot on. This will be added to my wardrobe staples. Just a note, it is not white and black but off-white and black.
Très beau - il est fait petit -près du corps
Trop de carrure pour ce modèle
Confortable, ni trop chaud ni
Confortable, ni trop chaud ni trop froid.
Chandail rayé pure laine mérinos.
J’aime beaucoup mon chandail mais sur l’étiquette du chandail il n’est nullement mentionné que c’est de la laine responsable MÉRINOS comme sur mes chandails achetés dans une commande précédente. Il est seulement écrit laine responsable.
