Product Insights
Contemporaine's boxy striped organic cotton slub T-shirt delivers a heathered, light-shadow depth through slub yarn, offering breathability and wrinkle resistance that conceals minor wear and eliminates ironing, while the loose drape pairs with high-waisted or half-tucked styling; however, its care demands cold washing and line drying to minimize 3-5% shrinkage, and white stripes may turn sheer when stretched, but at $39 CAD, it undercuts premium slub brands like James Perse and ATM, drawing on Simons' in-house design heritage since the 1960s.

Good T-shirt, wrong colour
I thought the stripes were blue. I gave it to m daughter, she loves it
Cute but
It is extremely box and fits large. So wanted to love it but have to return it
Cute but thin fabric
Loved the stripes and color, wish the fabric was heavier weight
Très large
T-shirt mince et agréable, mais la coupe est “boxy”, très large. Le fit est plus ou moins bon.
