Paul & Shark Cotton Half-Zip Sweater Navy

A navy half-zip sweater in a fine cotton knit, finished with contrast tipping at the hem. Lighter than wool, it is the zip-neck to wear on spring and summer evenings.

A half-zip has a short zip at the neck: closed and high it keeps out the wind, open it shows a shirt or polo collar. Fine knit means the yarn is thin and the stitches are small and close together, which gives a smooth, light knit that layers easily under a jacket. Cotton knit breathes and feels soft against the skin. Contrast tipping is a thin stripe in another colour along the edge, a small sporty detail. The regular fit sits close enough to wear under a light jacket but leaves room to move. Take your usual size.

Wear the zip open over a white T-shirt with chinos and boat shoes, or add the Cashcord Gilet when it gets cooler. For a softer sheen, see the Silk Cotton Crew-Neck Sweater in navy.
