Knickerbocker’s Compact Quarter Zip Is An Essential Fall Sweatshirt

As we cozy up to sweatshirt season, don’t sleep on Knickerbocker‘s Quarter Zip. Coming in a slew of closet stabilizing colors like dark navy, coal, and milk, you’re covered no matter the palette you’re going for.

As far as sweatshirts go, the quarter zip design may be the most versatile thanks to that time-tested zipper ‘n collar combo. All the way up or dress shirt underneath and it’s clear you mean business, but various degrees of unzipped signal an easy breezy fit. Just whatever you do, avoid being 32.37% unzipped, for obvious reasons.

Made in Portugal from Knickerbocker’s very own 100% Compact Knit cotton, this layering dreamboat features a Talon zipper and two chest pockets. Historically, quarter zips did not have pockets which may be their greatest weakness so doubling down on this detail is a win for those who want to experiment with different sweats but need the security that pockets bring. What if you find several tiny tchotchkes that need to go home with you? Exactly. Plus they look cool.
