GORDON | Quarter-zip pullover

I open the zip in the car and close it walking in. That is most of my winter, honestly.

Indoors is too warm, outdoors is too cold, and a crew neck gives you no way to do anything about it. You either take the whole thing off or you sit there warm. The quarter zip has survived fifty years for one reason, which is that it is the only sweater with a dial on it.

The neck is structured enough to stand when the zip is up, so it covers the throat properly rather than folding in on itself. The fit is easy through the body without being shapeless, and it goes under a jacket without bunching at the shoulders.

Why men our age keep coming back to it

• You can regulate it. Zip up outside, open it indoors, without taking anything off over your head.
• The collar stands on its own. Enough structure that it protects the throat instead of collapsing into a fold.
• It layers flat. Slim enough at the shoulder to go under a coat without adding bulk where the sleeve meets the body.
• Eight colorways. Including two-tone options in black with blue and black with brown, plus Gray, Maroon, Dark Blue, Dark Green, Camel and Beige.

How it fits

True to size. Sizes S through 2XL only, so this one stops well short of our wider runs. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one, particularly if you intend to wear a collared shirt underneath it.

You have 30 days to send it back for a full refund. No restocking fee and no explanation needed.

The camel is the one. Looks like something from a much better shop.

Collar holds up instead of flopping. That is why I bought a second.
