Men's Cotton Half Zip Collared Sweatshirt
How to spot the original Half Zip Sweatshirt
A tall cotton collar with a short zip down the chest can be worn zipped up as a stand collar or folded down, rather than a plain round neck that only works one way.
Raglan seams run from the collar to the underarm, with elasticated gathered cuffs at the wrists, so the shoulders move freely and the sleeves stay put when pushed up.
A large kangaroo pocket sits across the front, and the hem has a drawcord with toggles at each side, so you can wear it straight and boxy or pull it in neatly.
The sweatshirt
Collar, zip and pocket
The fold-down collar and short zip give it the look of a classic quarter zip, but softer and more relaxed.
A roomy kangaroo pocket at the front holds your phone and keeps your hands warm.
The drawstring hem adjusts the shape, from a straight boxy look to a neater, gathered finish.
This cotton sweatshirt has a collar, a half zip and a pocket that give it a smart, practical look, so it works from weekend walks to relaxed office days.
The fit
Relaxed, with room to move
The chest measures 112 cm on the M up to 128 cm on the 3XL, so it fits easily over a T-shirt.
Dropped shoulders and long sleeves give an easy shape that is comfortable for walking, driving and long days.
Cotton is breathable, so it stays comfortable indoors as well as out.
The relaxed fit leaves room to move, and the zip lets you open the neck when you warm up indoors. The cotton feels soft and breathable all day. The chest pocket is handy for a pen or earbuds, and the collar keeps the look neat enough for a casual office or a lunch out.

From Maria & Denis
A half zip sweatshirt with a soft fold-down collar is the smart-casual top that works on weekends and on dress-down Fridays.
It is made from cotton, so it feels soft and breathes well, and the relaxed fit sits comfortably over a tee.
A kangaroo pocket keeps your hands warm and a drawstring hem lets you pull it in for a neater shape.
Zip it up on a cold walk, open it in a warm pub, and it always looks put together.
Black, cream or plum, in sizes M to 3XL.

Fabric & care
Cotton.
Machine wash at 30°C inside out, hang to dry.
Cotton is breathable and easy to care for: wash it at 30°C inside out with similar colours.
Hang it to dry rather than tumble drying, which keeps the colour fresh and stops shrinking.
A quick cool iron or a steamer smooths it out in seconds.
