Product Insights
The Overcast Ribbed Trim Loose Sweater delivers a hand-sewn aesthetic with contrasting overcast stitching that seals raw edges at the neck, cuffs, and hem to prevent fraying while retaining stretch for easy on/off. Its blend of 66% acrylic, 18% polyester, 8% wool, and 8% PBT offers breathability and shape retention, with PBT providing 15-25% stretch recovery and color retention through 200+ washes. At $69 CAD, it undercuts comparable styles like Lena by nearly 60% while adding wool relative to the Loose Mock. However, the acrylic content pills with friction and washing, requiring care; the loose, drop-shoulder fit layers well for moderate warmth.
Verified claims

- Competitive price
- $69 CAD — nearly 60% less than Lena ($128), adds wool vs Loose Mock ($59)
- Material quality
- 66% acrylic, 18% polyester, 8% wool, 8% PBT: wool for breathability, PBT for stretch and color retention
- Overcast stitch durability
- Overcast stitch prevents edge unraveling and retains stretch in knits
- Pilling
- 66% acrylic pills with friction and washing; wash inside out and use a fabric shaver to manage fuzz.
- PBT durability
- 8% PBT retains 90-95% color after 50 washes and holds shape for 200+ washes.
- Warmth
- Provides moderate warmth with wool-enhanced breathability, ideal for layering.
- Layering fit
- The loose, drop-shoulder fit and 8% wool make this a lightweight layering piece; PBT helps the knit recover its shape rather than stretching out.
- One-size fit
- A reviewer who usually wears a Contemporaine Large says the one-size sweater fits her very well, and the PBT blend helps the loose one-size fit adapt to different body shapes.

Winter layering for chilly outdoor days
Customers use this loose knit sweater as a winter layer for outdoor activities, relying on its wool content and thick knit to trap heat when it's cold out. Reviewers describe it as keeping them warm without feeling heavy or bulky, making it easy to wear under or over other layers.[1]
Your go-to casual everyday sweater
Customers report reaching for this oversized sweater as an easy, comfortable piece for relaxed everyday outfits, with soft, plush yarn that feels good to wear all day and colors that draw frequent compliments. The intentionally loose cut may feel too baggy if you prefer a tailored fit, and the fluffy yarn pills with friction, so expect some upkeep with a fabric shaver if you wear it often.[1]
Cozy evenings at home
A loose, soft sweater for unwinding on the couch. Customers describe it as supremely soft and comfortable for relaxed evenings in.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Overcast Ribbed Trim Loose Sweater: Choose this if you want a supremely soft, fuzzy wool-blend pullover for cozy everyday wear, winter layering, or relaxing at home — customers describe it as warm in chilly weather without feeling heavy, with a relaxed boxy silhouette and a non-excessive length. It has a mock neck with contrasting cream ribbed trim at the collar, cuffs, and hem, and comes in one size across Light Grey, Taupe, Indigo/Dark Blue, and Pink. Be aware the fluffy yarn is reported to pill with friction, so a fabric shaver may be needed for upkeep, and shoppers seeking a tailored fit may find the intentionally oversized cut too loose.[1,2] | Loose Mock-Neck Sweater: Choose this if you want a soft, brushed-knit layer for chilly days — reviewers describe it as cozy with lightweight warmth that works under a vest or jacket, and the relaxed, oversized fit is appreciated for layering. Note that it runs decidedly oversized (most reviewers suggest sizing down to avoid a shapeless look), and its 100% polyester knit lacks breathability, so it is best kept for cold days. Also be aware the body runs short — taller or long-torso wearers report midriff exposure when reaching — and the loose knit reportedly pills within the first few wears, especially under coat friction, so hand washing is advised.[3] | Mock Neck Solid Tunic Sweater: Choose this if you want a long, loose tunic with a short mock neck — the stretch knit comes in a relaxed silhouette that falls past the hips, with a slightly longer back hem, side vents, and wide ribbed bands at the hem, collar, and cuffs. It is described by the retailer as soft and ultra comfortable (a store characterization, not a reported customer experience), and is made of 80% reprocessed viscose and 20% nylon in four colors across sizes X-Small to X-Large. Note that the knit is smooth and matte with no patterning, and the hem's side slit is confirmed only on the photographed side.[4,5,6,7] |

Chandail original
Il est beau et chaud, je le trouve très confortable . J’aime beaucoup ce bleu.
Cozy
Definitely oversized but not too long. The yarn is very fluffy so I think it will pill quickly.
Magnifique - Service à la clientèle impeccable!
Super beau chandail. Malheureusement, lorsque je l'ai reçu, il y avait 2 trous sur l'épaule gauche. J'ai communiqué avec le service à la clientèle et j'ai obtenu un excellent service. On a pris soin de communiquer avec une boutique où il restait qu'un seul chandail et on me l'a fait parvenir. Il m'a été posté dès le lendemain. J'ai maintenant reçu le deuxième chandail et il est SUPER beau, j'adore :)
