Product Insights
A lifestyle tee with a permanently bonded 3D texture that withstands washing up to 60°C, yet softens gradually with friction—gentle washing slows wear. Its 5% spandex provides stretch recovery to support the texture's structure, while 95% recycled polyester (repurposing 9–12 plastic bottles) cuts CO₂ by 71%, carrying Vision certification. Slightly sheer (black is most opaque), it works best under a jacket or with a cami for lighter shades, and pairs with high-rise bottoms, slip skirts, or tailored trousers. The tradeoff: texture softens over time and it's not for athletic use.
- Texture durability
Heat-set embossing bonds the texture permanently, wash-stable to 60°C.
Why this is supported
The 3D texture is formed by heat-set embossing on thermoplastic recycled polyester.
Brushedfabric.com confirms:
Because no chemical resins are used, the texture is impervious to humidity and sweat, eliminating moisture-induced degradation. Additionally, the heat-setting process gives the texture thermal memory that keeps it stable through washes up to 60°C, as fanxitex.com notes:
The recycled polyester also has the same tensile strength as virgin polyester, as per textiletuts.com:
- Wear pattern
Texture softens gradually from abrasion, not abruptly; gentle wash slows wear.
Why this is supported
Over heavy use, the raised texture peaks experience more friction than the valleys. Brushedfabric.com notes:
Aggressive agitation can also cause the raised peaks of the pattern to abrade faster than the recessed valleys.
brushedfabric.comThis means the texture softens gradually rather than failing abruptly. The recycled polyester fiber strength provides good pilling resistance, but the embossed texture may slightly change appearance over time if not washed gently and laid flat to dry.
- Shape retention
5% spandex provides stretch recovery that supports the texture's structure.
Why this is supported
The 5% spandex content gives the recycled polyester jersey a four-way stretch that actively rebounds, helping the boxy crop retain its shape and supporting the structure of the embossed texture throughout the day.
- Bottoms pairing
Pairs with high-rise bottoms, fluid slip skirts, and tailored trousers.
Why this is supported
The boxy crop's structured cut balances a slip skirt's sheen.
A boxy crop top with a slip skirt brings together soft shine and a modern shape.
fabricerie.comIt also pairs well with tailored trousers, contrasting volume with crisp lines. The cropped hem lands naturally at high-rise bottoms, avoiding an unintended gap.
The cut creates a clean silhouette. Because the hem typically hits around the high waist, it naturally pairs well with high-rise bottoms.
itsbusinessmarket.com- Styling techniques
Half-tuck and jacket layering add polish without bulk.
Why this is supported
A half-tuck prevents the tee from looking too formal or sloppy:
The answer is the half tuck: push the front of the tee an inch or two into your waistband, let the back hang naturally.
anchormedown.comJacket layering adds polish without bulk if the tee is slightly shorter than the jacket hem.
Style tip: Keep the tee slightly shorter than the jacket hem. That creates a clean, layered line that looks styled even if you’re wearing basics.
itechsoul.com- Sheerness
Slightly sheer; black is most opaque; layer a cami for lighter shades.
Why this is supported
The fabric is slightly sheer in all colors, with black offering marginally more opacity. Layering a cami or choosing skin-toned undergarments is advisable, especially for lighter shades.
- Sustainability
95% recycled polyester (repurposing ≈9–12 plastic bottles), 5% spandex, carrying Vision Recycled Polyester and Reduction of Emissions tags.
Why this is supported
The Icône is made from 95% recycled polyester blended with 5% spandex. Each kilogram of rPET diverts approximately
60 plastic bottles
textiletuts.com; based on a typical tee weight of 150–200 g, this amounts to about 9–12 bottles per garment. The production process also yields
a polyester filament with 59% lower energy consumption and 71% lower CO2 emissions per ton compared to virgin polyester
textiletuts.com. The Icône carries dual Vision tags for Recycled Polyester and Reduction of Emissions, reflecting Simons' integrated sustainability mandate as an exclusive brand designed in Canada. Simons has publicly stated,
In 2018, we set the objective to use at least 50 per cent sustainable fibre in all our Simons’ exclusive production.
vancouversun.comBy contrast, the Seasalt Copseland relies on GOTS organic certification (
Certified organic to Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS) by Soil Association Certification GOTS-11394.
seasaltcornwall.com), representing a different sustainability pathway.
Based on textile industry data,
Each kilogram of rPET fabric is produced from approximately 60 plastic bottles
textiletuts.com. For the weight of this tee, that translates to roughly 9–12 bottles per shirt, and the recycled production reduces the carbon footprint 71% compared to conventional polyester.
- Use case
A lifestyle tee for casual and smart-casual styling, not for athletic/activewear like the TriDri TR504.
Why this is supported
The Icône is marketed as a lifestyle piece, distinguishing it from the TriDri TR504 which is explicitly designed for athletic use with
wicking technology and UPF 40+ protection.
superlogo.co.ukThe Seasalt Copseland, while also boxy-cropped, uses flat organic cotton jersey that lacks stretch and quick-dry performance. The Icône's 5% spandex provides four-way stretch and shape retention, and its polyester fabric absorbs only 0.4% moisture, enabling fast drying as explained:
rPET’s moisture absorption of just 0.4% means it does not wick perspiration into the fiber — instead, moisture travels through capillary action along the fiber surface
textiletuts.com. Styling guidance confirms its suitability for smart-casual outfits:
A boxy crop top with a slip skirt brings together soft shine and a modern shape.
fabricerie.comOverall, the Icône fills a gap for a recycled-polyester tee that reads as a textured, slightly sheer statement piece rather than activewear.
- Moisture management
Fabric absorbs only 0.4% moisture and dries in 10–20 minutes.
Why this is supported
Specialist fabric research reports the recycled polyester fabric absorbs only 0.4% moisture by weight and
dries in 10‑20 minutes after a light workout or humid commute
What recycled polyester feels like and its eco benefits — moisture_absorption_0_4_by_weight. This rapid drying prevents the cold, clingy feel common in damp cotton.
- Stretch
5% spandex gives four-way stretch that actively rebounds to hold shape.
Why this is supported
The recycled polyester jersey with 5% spandex creates
a supple, four‑way‑stretch knit that actively rebounds
What recycled polyester feels like and its eco benefits — jersey_blend_5_spandex. This elastic recovery helps the boxy cut hold its shape through a full day of wear without sagging at the hem.
- Vision certification
Simons' Vision certifies this tee: its 95% recycled polyester surpasses the 50% threshold, diverting 9–12 bottles and cutting CO₂ by 71%.
Why this is supported
Simons' Vision program certifies exclusive brands like Icône with sustainability criteria. This tee carries dual 'Recycled Polyester' and 'Reduction of Emissions' tags, and as an exclusive brand, its sustainability criteria are embedded at the design stage.
Icône by Simons: an exclusive designed in Canada
lyst.comThe program's origins:
In 2018, we set the objective to use at least 50 per cent sustainable fibre in all our Simons’ exclusive production.
vancouversun.comThe tee's 95% recycled polyester surpasses this threshold. Furthermore,
By the end of 2024, the company expects 90 percent of its exclusive collections to comply with at least one of the sustainability criteria established by Vision, with the ambitious goal of reaching 100 percent in the next few years.
mr-mag.comThe quantified environmental savings are:
Each kilogram of rPET fabric is produced from approximately 60 plastic bottles
textiletuts.com, and the
result is a polyester filament with 59% lower energy consumption and 71% lower CO2 emissions per ton compared to virgin polyester
textiletuts.com. This equates to roughly 9–12 bottles diverted and a 71% CO2 reduction for this tee.
- Wet opacity
Fabric does not become transparent when wet despite being slightly sheer.
Why this is supported
The recycled polyester fabric barely absorbs moisture; technical sources state that
rPET’s moisture absorption of just 0.4% means it does not wick perspiration into the fiber
textiletuts.com. Therefore, dampness does not make the slightly sheer fabric transparent or clingy.
- Layering
Best worn under a jacket to use sheerness as a layering feature.
Why this is supported
Styling guidance recommends wearing the slightly sheer tee under a jacket:
Keep the tee slightly shorter than the jacket hem. That creates a clean, layered line
itechsoul.com.
- Care routine
Machine wash gentle, wash darks separately, wring out and lay flat to dry; iron safe.
Why this is supported

Didn't care for the fabric
The fabric/design (3D texture) looked out-dated to me. Made me feel like I had donned one of my senior aunt's tops. Nice shade of red and fit well but, overall, didn't like this t-shirt.
