Men's Half Zip Sweatshirt in Cotton
The look
Smart, but relaxed
The half zip neckline is one of the most useful shapes in menswear.
Zipped up, the stand collar keeps the wind off your neck.
Open, it shows a shirt collar or a T-shirt underneath and looks smart without trying.
The plain finish makes it easy to wear with chinos, jeans or tailored trousers.
It is a clean, grown-up alternative to a hoodie.
Wear it to work, on a weekend away or on a long drive.
Plain colours like these never date, so it will stay in your rotation for years.
The details
Stand collar, metal zip, ribbed trims
The collar is cut tall and stands up neatly on its own.
A smooth metal zip runs down to the chest and opens easily with one hand.
Ribbed cuffs hold the sleeves in place when you push them up.
The chest runs from 104 cm on the S to 120 cm on the XXL, roomy for a shirt underneath.
The length runs from 65 to 74 cm, covering the waistband nicely.
Measure a sweatshirt you own and compare it with the chart to choose your size.
The zip is long enough to let some air in on a busy day, so you never feel too warm.
The fabric
Soft, breathable cotton
Cotton breathes, so you stay comfortable indoors and out.
It feels soft next to the skin, even on long days.
The fabric is easy to wash and quick to dry.
Black is sharp and goes with everything.
Blue is a calm, easy colour for the weekend.
Free UK delivery and 30 days to return.
Many men buy both colours, because it goes with so much.
From Maria & Denis
This men's cotton half zip sweatshirt is the easy, smart-casual top that works from Monday to Sunday.
It is made from soft cotton jersey with a smooth face and a comfortable, slightly brushed feel inside.
A tall stand collar with a metal half zip lets you choose the look: zip it up on a cold walk, or open it over a shirt or T-shirt.
The fit is relaxed with dropped shoulders, so it moves with you and never feels tight across the chest.
Ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem keep the shape neat and hold the warmth in.
It is smart enough to wear over a collared shirt to the office and relaxed enough for the weekend with jeans.
Plain, clean and easy to wear with almost anything in your wardrobe.
A half zip sweatshirt is the modern alternative to a jumper. It is lighter than knitwear, easier to wash, and it sits neatly over a shirt collar. This one keeps everything simple: soft cotton, a clean stand collar and a relaxed shape that suits every build.
Black or blue, in sizes S to XXL.

Questions and answers
How do I choose my size in this sweatshirt?
It comes in sizes S to XXL. The size guide on this page gives measurements of the sweatshirt itself, taken flat: chest, length, shoulder and sleeve. Measure a similar sweatshirt you own, laid flat, and compare it with the chart; free UK delivery and 30 days to return give you time to check the fit at home.
How do I wash this sweatshirt?
Machine wash at 30°C inside out with similar colours. Close the zip before washing. Dry flat or on a hanger, do not tumble dry.
What is this sweatshirt made of?
It is made from cotton sweatshirt. Cotton is breathable and soft against the skin, so it is comfortable all day.
How do I style this sweatshirt?
With joggers and trainers for a relaxed day, or with jeans under a denim jacket, a quilted jacket or a wool coat when it is colder. A plain sweatshirt also looks neat over a collared shirt.
Will this sweatshirt shrink in the wash?
Cotton can shrink a little if it is washed hot or tumble dried. Wash it at 30°C and hang it to dry, as the care guide on this page says, and it will keep its size. Washing inside out also keeps the colour fresh for longer.
How do I remove bobbles from this sweatshirt?
Bobbles form where the fabric rubs, under the arms, at the cuffs and where a bag strap sits. Lay the sweatshirt flat and glide a fabric shaver or a knit comb lightly over the area; pulling bobbles off by hand loosens the fibres. Washing inside out with similar soft fabrics slows them down.
