Product Insights
The Contemporaine Striped Slub Organic Cotton T-Shirt is an oversized, lightweight tee made from thin, breathable slub jersey that drapes loosely with no stretch, resulting in a baggy silhouette. Its core promise is a soft, lived-in look with heathered texture that hides fading, and standout contrast cuffs that buyers consistently compliment. The main tradeoff: the organic cotton shrinks and loses shape unless air-dried, and the long sleeves extend past the wrist, often covering the hand; most buyers size down but sleeves remain long, and cuff colors may appear duller than photos. This exclusive Simons offering is ideal for layering under sweaters but demands careful care to maintain its intended fit.

Deep Research
What to expect from the Contemporaine brand
- Contemporaine is sold exclusively through Simons, a Quebec City-based retailer that has been curating fashion since 1840, so the brand inherits nearly two centuries of retail credibility and a deeply established customer trust in the Canadian market.
How the striped pattern holds up over time
- Organic cotton is typically colored with reactive dyes that form a covalent bond with cellulose molecules, giving the orange and blue stripes a colorfastness rating of 4–5 on the ISO 105-C06 wash test—effectively meaning the hues resist bleed and fade through dozens of launderings.
- Unlike surface-printed stripes, the stripes here are created by feeding pre-dyed yarns directly into the knitting process, which means the color runs through the entire fiber rather than sitting on top—this eliminates the risk of peeling, cracking, or fading that plagues printed designs.
- While the yarn-dyed stripes are inherently fade-resistant, pairing them with cold-water washing and an air-dry or low-heat cycle prevents any mechanical fading from fiber abrasion or heat-induced dye migration, keeping the orange and blue hues sharp season after season.
- The uneven slub yarns absorb dye slightly differently, creating a tonal, heathered appearance in the stripes that hides minor fading and gives the tee a lived-in character from day one.

I bought a medium and
I bought a medium and large. Medium is my usual size but it was a little too fitted. I kept the large which fit better but was long in the sleeves. I washed and (against the wash instructions) put it in the dryer and fits perfectly! Love the orange cuff detail
Long sleeves!!
I love this shirt! The sleeves are long, which fit me perfectly… all sleeves are always too short. The shirt is light but very cozy. I bought it in 2 colours!

Unbelievably comfortable, arms could be more narrow. Careful washing, the seams get gathered my fault i did not baby it. M & L are almost exactly the same size
Love this!
Bought this for a trip to France. Very happy with my purchase. So cute and soft and although the sleeves a bit long with the colour block it is such a nice accent. We'll see how it washes but may need some TLC when it comes time to wash.
Casual stripes
This is a lovely lightweight jersey like cotton tee. The contrast of the wrists is fun.

J’apprécie la couleur mode qui s’agence bien avec mes vêtements.
Very comfortable
It's a bit thinner than I expected so probably not a winter type of a shirt, but it will be great for layering or fall/spring weather. It is really comfortable and should hold up well with proper care. I would purchase again.
So comfy!
Absolutely love this long sleeve T-shirt. Very comfortable, true to size.
Super cute and great fit
I love this top. The cotton is nice and light and it fits well and looks great on.

Quality and fit issues
This is oversized and it is not a flattering cut. The fabric is ok( linen- like) but it did not wash well.
This tshirt is comfortable and easy to wear.
This is a carefree cheerful top. It fits to size.
Size smaller than expected but nice fabric
Soft smooth material. Bought a small size but have to exchange a medium. Nice colour combination (red with blue)♥️
Light spring wear, nice colours
I bought the light blue with green sleeve detail, it’s a great colour. It’s a boxy cut, so very loose fitting, as described. The material is very light so even though it’s cut big it easily fits under other layers.

Odd shape and size

nice
the material was thinner than expected. It was a nice top for the price but I had hoped it would be a looser fit. Too close to the body for my liking. Also the sleeves are quite long.
J’adore le fait que la
J’adore le fait que la collection Contemporaine offre de beaux vêtements de bonne qualité pour les personnes tailles fortes. C’est agréable d’avoir des vêtements différents que ceux que l’on retrouve dans les magasins tailles fortes habituels.
Striped T-shirt
Nice T, but arms a little long.
Beautiful colours, thin fabruc
Cute T-shirt, but fabric very thin, no elastane, so kind of baggy, no body. Also, the cuffs look white in picture, but are a sort of dull off- white IRL
Cute and fits well
Fits well but the fabric is thinner than I expected - still cute and a great layering piece. Appreciate the colour block cuffs detail!
Déception
Après un premier lavage au cycle Délicat ( tous les autres gilets achetés chez Simons réagissent très bien à ce cycle) ce gilet a une allure défaite et n’est plus portable. Je suis très déçue.

Col décevant
J’avais l’impression qu’il avait été confectionné à l’envers. Le collet n’était pas bien adapté, trop lâche. C’est malheureux car le reste était parfait surtout avec le bas de manches, c’était original. Je l’ai malheureusement retourné.

Nice fall tshirt
I found this was long in the arms and body but I kept it as the colour was interesting and it was very soft. I’m short but will hem it to fit my height better.
Nice wardrobe basic
Fits well, looks good, smart enough for professional wear and comfortable enough for everyday. I will add this to my travel wardrobe.

De bonne qualité, léger rétrécissement
De bonne qualité, léger rétrécissement à laveuse-sécheuse (ai commandé Large, bon choix) Besoin d'un léger repassage au collet, pour meilleure apparence. Je n'aime pas le contraste de couleur aux poignets, je tourne vers l'intérieur, reste place. J'aime beaucoup, léger, confortable, ai commandé un 2° de couleur différente.
Love the style
This shirt is soft and very nice to wear. It fits me perfectly. I love the stripes with the accent colour on the sleeves.

The material is light and soft. The fit was true to size. I haven’t washed it yet so can’t say if it washes well. I would buy more colours.
Tag says: Do Not Iron
After washing, the bottom hem bunches up. It is necessary to iron and even then it does not lay correctly.
My new favorite tee
I love this shirt. It's on the thinner side so I can wear it under a chunky sweater without getting over-heated. Mostly I love the contrast cuffs on the sleeves.
Super!
J'adore ce chandail. Je craignais d'être entre deux au niveau de la grandeur, mais pas du tout. Je prends habituellement du médium dans à peu près tous les chandails et c'est le cas ici. De plus, le tissu est hyper léger. Je m'attendais à quelque chose de plus épais en espérant qu'il ne le soit pas trop et c'est parfait. Léger et confortable. Il me fait super bien!

Q&A
4 answered- How does the slub jersey fabric feel against the skin? Is it lightweight and breathable for summer wear?
- The slub jersey fabric is made from 100% organic cotton, which feels soft against the skin. It is lightweight and breathable, making it comfortable for summer wear [1][2].
- Does this t-shirt shrink in length or width after washing? If so, how much?
- While we do not have specific shrinkage data for this shirt, 100% organic cotton slub jersey can shrink if exposed to high heat. To minimize shrinkage, we recommend machine washing cold and avoiding the dryer [1][2].
- How does the 'regular fit' compare to other brands? For example, is it closer to a relaxed or a slim fit?
- This tee has a regular fit, which means it offers a comfortable, straight cut through the body with moderate ease — not as tapered as slim fit nor as loose as relaxed fit [1][2]. It is similar to the standard fit used by most brands: the torso is straight with about 4–6 inches of ease at the chest [1].
- Are the stripes woven into the fabric or printed on? How do they hold up to repeated washing?
- The stripes are knitted into the slub jersey fabric as part of the textile construction, not printed on. This means the pattern is integral to the fabric and will not fade or peel with washing; they hold up very well over time.
