Men's jumper and pullover: 1/4 zip

Quarter zip jumpers open partway down from a stand collar, which makes this the one neckline that adjusts after the jumper is on. Fine gauge, cable, contrast rib and slim fitted cuts all appear, and the parent page above this one gathers all seven necklines.

The quarter zip, and what it is for

A quarter zip pullover opens partway down from a stand collar. That zip adjusts the neckline after the jumper is on, so the collar opens or closes as a room warms or cools.

A collar that adjusts

A quarter zip runs partway down from a stand collar, so the neck opens or closes as a room warms or cools. This is the only neckline on the site that adjusts after the garment is on. It suits a day that moves between indoors and outdoors, or a commute. The page carries rib basque, cable zip, slim fitted, contrast ribbed and high neck zip collar constructions. Ansett supplies several of them in pure merino.

Between a crew and a full zip

A quarter zip sits between a crew neck, which does not open at all, and a full zip jacket, which opens completely. The crew gives up ventilation, the full zip gives up the clean front of a pullover. Keeping the pullover front while adding a zip that opens partway is the compromise. That stand collar covers the neck when closed and frames a shirt collar when open, which is why the neckline works both in an office and out of it.

Common questions

What is a rib basque?
A rib basque is a band of ribbing at the hem that draws the garment in. It gives the waist a closer fit, stops the hem from flaring, and keeps the jumper close to the body. A 1/4 zip pullover with rib basque is in the range.
Is a quarter zip smart enough for an office?
A fine gauge quarter zip closed to the neck reads smarter than an open one. Pulling the zip up gives a neat, closed collar, while an open zip shows a shirt collar and relaxes the look. Slim fitted cuts in the merino and cashmere blend appear on this page.
What is the difference between a quarter zip and a half zip?
A quarter zip and a half zip differ in how far the zip runs. On this site, product titles use both terms for similar lengths, and the product page shows the exact piece. The zip length is visible in the product image, so the page is the clearest reference.
