The quarter-zip sweater was pioneered by skiers in the mid-20th century. Our quarter-zip takes cues from those midcentury sportswear designs but updates them for the office. The secret? The fabric: a refined, uncomplicated blend of RWS-certified extra-fine merino and cashmere. It's polished enough for work, yet relaxed enough for off-hours. And because of its merino properties, it's naturally breathable and temperature-regulating. In other words, it’s built for real life—easy to wear and even easier to care for.
