Product Insights

Contemporaine's Second-Skin Short-Sleeve Crew-Neck T-Shirt (39 CAD, in stock, rated 3.67 stars) is a fitted base layer that runs very small and short—sizing up is essential for most body types. Its double-layer torso is opaque and breathable, providing a smooth silhouette that stays tucked, while single-layer sleeves add ventilation and allow invisible layering under blazers. The fabric, 94% reprocessed polyamide/6% spandex, is exceptionally soft and silky, retains 85–95% tensile strength, wicks moisture, and uses 80–90% less energy than virgin nylon. Care requires cold washing, no softener, and air drying to prevent pilling. The cropped cut demands high-waisted bottoms to avoid midriff exposure, but the tee works as both a breathable warm-weather top and a polished smart-casual piece that layers invisibly.

Verified claims

Fit
Runs very small and short; size up for most body types.
Double-layer design
Double-layer torso is opaque and breathable; single-layer sleeves add ventilation.
Care
Cold wash, no softener, air dry to maintain shape and prevent pilling.
Material
94% reprocessed polyamide/6% spandex with silky handfeel; 80–90% less energy than virgin nylon.
Opacity
White and off-white colorways are fully opaque without a camisole.
Drape
Double-layer body gives a smooth silhouette and keeps the hem tucked.
Breathability
Single-layer sleeves preserve breathability for year-round wear.
Softness
Soft and silky handfeel for most wearers, though at least one buyer found the recycled polyamide fabric synthetic-feeling.
Eco-credentials
Recycled from post-industrial and post-consumer waste; uses 10–20% of virgin production energy.
Fabric
Recycled polyamide retains roughly 85–95% of its tensile strength after one mechanical recycling cycle, wicks moisture, and has an ultra-soft microfibre handfeel.
Washing
Machine wash cold, avoid fabric softener, and turn garment inside out.
Drying
Air dry flat; dryer heat damages the microfibre.
Layering
Shallow crew neck and single-layer sleeves keep the tee invisible under jackets.
Tucking
The fitted double-layer body helps keep tucks flat and in place; buyers note it does not roll or ride up.
Standalone
Two-in-one: breathable warm-weather top and polished smart-casual piece.
Length
Runs short and may read as cropped on longer torsos.
Use case
Contemporaine's polished base layer for structured looks; layers invisibly under blazers.
Bust fit
The fitted cut is noticeably tight through the bust; one buyer says it is too clingy at the chest.
Sleeve length
The sleeves also run short; one reviewer notes that the sleeves are too short.
Quick-drying
The recycled polyamide wicks moisture and dries faster than cotton, so the tee stays comfortable rather than clammy under a jacket on warm days.

Sad but had to return

Fabric feels very silky, unfortunately I had to return as I ordered a small when M probably would fit me better. Very close to the body fit.

★★★★★Yolande B.

Fait très petit, manches trop courtes

Bizarre Fabric

★★★★★Mary B.

I've always worn contemporaine t-shirts in a fitted style and I love them. They were always 96% cotton and 4% spandex and just perfect. Unfortunately, these are made of some unnatural chemical fabric that I have no desire to wear.

Very comfy

★★★★★Jessica B.

Thick fabric and thight - it feels perfect to wear with a suit.
