Introducing a timely knit with the right balance of warmth, durability and style. The Half-Zip Jumper is a twist on a classic seafarer jumper. Its half-zip collar keeps the cold out as you’d expect, and opens for business at a flick of the wrist. Zips are good like that, stop you from overheating. It’s everything you asked for, and it’s finally here.

Let’s face it, turtlenecks are great until someone whacks up the heating. This jumper blends turtleneck warmth with the freedom to open it all up, keeping you just at the right level. Zip up to defeat the cold, unzip to breathe: it’s up to you.

Thanks to 3,000 of you sharing your valuable insights, we’ve managed to elevate this knit to what it is today. Your main priorities? A jumper that lasts for years, stays looking good and is comfortable to wear. We couldn’t agree more, there are only a few things worse than a jumper that bobbles and - worse - stretches after a few washes.

For this version, we upgraded to Olimpias’ Nadir wool, an Italian yarn celebrated for its durability and ability to keep you toasty. Your knit’s carded wool feels plush and soft without being itchy. It will keep its allure and its shape wash after wash. The result? A jumper that maintains warmth, softness, and looks.

With the new yarn comes a new colour selection. While the classic navy stays put, we’ve backed it up with a handful of fresh options:

• Grey: The versatile neutral, ready to pair with jeans or chinos.
• Navy Blue Stripe: A timeless nod to its seafaring root and effortlessly cool.
• Brown: Rich, understated, and perfect for standing out without fuss.
• Military Green: An earthy tone that adds subtle colour without being too bold.

Our favourite pairing? The Half-Zip Jumper with raw denim. It’s understated and sharp on its own or under a jacket.

We loved the original, but you felt it was a touch boxy. We’ve trimmed down the fit by half a size for a sharper look that’s structured yet easy-wearing – perfectly balanced between sleek and relaxed.

The Half-Zip Jumper will be available for preorder for 129€ from next Tuesday for 6 days only, not a smidgen longer. It doesn’t seem like a long time, but frankly, it’s not a very difficult decision to make. This way, we’ll be able to deliver it to you by end of February.

And as usual, to avoid missing out, sign up for the alert just below. The first to place their preorder will be the first to receive delivery. It’s thanks to the preorder model that we can offer this great knit with an unparalleled quality/price/sustainability ratio.

If you miss out you may find it at a later date in one of our Stock Sales but the price will jump to 169€ to cater for inventory costs.
