Four cuts, and they answer different halves of the same problem. The quarter zip pullover is the standard: open it on a tee and close it walking, and the drop is long enough that opening it actually dumps heat rather than just looking open. The mock neck is the one without a collar underneath, which sits flatter under a vest and stops you looking like you are wearing two shirts. The sweatshirt cut is the heaviest thing on this page and the one that gets worn on the drive home. Prices run $19.97 to $39.95.

These are knitted from the same polyester and spandex as the shirts, which has one consequence people notice at home rather than on a course: they wash with your polos on the same cycle and come out ready, rather than needing the cold, slow treatment a cotton sweatshirt wants. The care instruction on each card is copied from the label, which under the Federal Trade Commission's rule has to be evidence-backed by whoever printed it. Take your polo size. These are cut to go over a collar, not to be sized up for it.

Every colourway here is priced on its own. the Michel Rouen collection keeps the figures current and the till is what decides.

Questions about Michel Rouen Quarter Zips

The layer that comes off at the turn

How far does the zip drop when you open a Michel Rouen quarter zip?

Far enough to open the chest and dump heat rather than just to unfasten the neck. That is the difference between a layer you leave on with the zip down and one you have to take off, and it is the main thing separating these from a plain crew.

Should you size up a Michel Rouen quarter zip to go over a polo?

No. They are cut to stack over a collar in the same letter you take in the polo. Sizing up is what makes the shoulder seam drop and the whole thing hang badly on a swing.

Which Michel Rouen quarter zip should you wear under a vest?

The mock neck. Without a collar underneath, it sits flat where a vest sits, and you avoid the two-collar look that a pullover over a polo gives you.
