Product Insights
The Solid Turtleneck Tunic Sweater by Contemporaine is a mid-weight, eco-conscious knit that combines verified LENZING ECOVERO viscose from responsible forests with a cool, smooth handfeel and flowing drape. Its core promise is a lower environmental impact — CO2 and water use at least 50% below generic viscose, with biodegradability — at a price ($79 CAD) that undercuts comparable eco-turtlenecks like FIG's Anaya while exceeding synthetic-heavy options like Old Navy's. The main tradeoff is delicate care (hand wash cold, lay flat) to preserve the fabric, but the design compensates with a ribbed turtleneck that stretches ~50% and recovers over 92%, resisting shape loss after 25 washes, plus long side vents for movement and a fit that layers without bulk.
Verified claims
- Eco credentials
- 50% LENZING ECOVERO viscose from FSC/PEFC forests, EU Ecolabel, with molecular traceability.
- Environmental impact
- The LENZING ECOVERO viscose component is produced with at least 50% lower CO2 and water use than generic viscose and is biodegradable.
- Eco value
- At $79 CAD, less than FIG's $100 eco-turtleneck and more than Old Navy's $60, with verified certifications.
- Handfeel
- LENZING ECOVERO viscose gives the sweater a cool, smooth handfeel and flowing drape; ribbed areas add texture contrast.
- Layering
- The mid-weight knit is substantial enough for standalone wear in mild weather and layers without bulk.
- Ribbed knit performance
- The ribbed turtleneck stretches about 50% and recovers in 60 seconds; the collar resists shape loss after 25 washes.
- Side vents
- Long side vents prevent fabric constriction during movement, maintaining smooth drape.
- Size translation
- XS-SMALL = US 0-4, MED-LARGE = US 6-10, XL-XXL fits proportionally; length increases ~1-2 inches per step.
- Turtleneck stretch
- Ribbed turtleneck stretches ~50% for easy on/off and recovers to snug fit.
- Care
- Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry; machine washing is not advised for this delicate viscose.
- Price comparison
- At $79, it is $21 less than FIG's Anaya and $19 more than Old Navy's synthetic-heavy tunic.
- Fit
- The sweater has a loose A-line silhouette with a longer back hem; its ribbed turtleneck recovers over 92% after stretching, and deep side vents allow movement.
- Turtleneck collar
- Ribbed turtleneck stretches up to 50%, recovers over 92%, and vertical ribs elongate the neck.
- Stretch and recovery
- Ribbed turtleneck stretches ~50% and recovers >92% in 60 seconds.
- Neck elongation
- Vertical ribs cast shadows that make the neckline appear longer.
- Collar shape retention
- Ribbed collar retains shape, while comparable jersey can lose up to 21% of its tightness after 25 washes.
- Third-party certifications
- The LENZING ECOVERO viscose in this sweater is backed by FSC- or PEFC-certified wood sourcing, an EU Ecolabel license, and TÜV AUSTRIA biodegradability certification.
- Stretch mechanism
- The sweater's stretch comes from the ribbed knit structure rather than elastane or spandex.
- Length by size
- Tunic length likely increases by about 1–2 inches per size, but exact measurements aren't provided.
