Modena Half-Zip – Striped Knit Knitwear | Kingswell

The Modena Half-Zip from Kingswell merges Italian sporting heritage with contemporary refined dressing in one versatile knit piece. A bold vertical stripe runs the full length of a mid-weight knit body, anchored by a contrast collar, polished metal half-zip neckline, and ribbed cuffs and hem that keep the silhouette clean and structured. Available in two considered colourways — black with ivory and forest green with white — this piece brings genuine quiet luxury to a polo format that most brands overcomplicate.

Why choose this Knitwear?

• Mid-Weight Knit Fabric: A breathable yet structured mid-weight knit provides all-day comfort with a polished drape that works from the golf course to an evening dinner.
• Polished Metal Half-Zip: The functional half-zip collar adds an elevated, sporty detail that can be adjusted for warmth or styling preference.
• Bold Heritage Stripe: Vertical stripe placement elongates the torso and adds visual character rooted in the Italian sporting tradition — a statement without excess.
• Ribbed Edges: Ribbed cuffs and hem provide a neat, tailored finish that retains its shape through regular wear and washing.

Styling & Fit

1. Smart Weekend: Wear the Modena Half-Zip with linen trousers and leather loafers for a clean, throwback-cool silhouette perfect for long lunches or coastal walks.
2. Sporting Heritage: Pair with slim-fit chinos and white leather trainers for a refined sporting look that channels Italian Riviera leisure dressing.
3. Layered Evening: Zip up beneath a lightweight unstructured blazer over tailored shorts or trousers for an effortlessly elevated evening look at a Kingswell level of refinement.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash in cool water using a mild knitwear detergent, or dry clean to maintain the stripe definition and knit structure.
• Lay flat to dry on a clean towel — do not peg or hang while wet as this distorts the stripe alignment and knit body.
• Store folded away from direct sunlight to preserve the colourway integrity of both the ivory and white contrast elements.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What colourways are available?
  The Modena Half-Zip is available in black with ivory and forest green with white — two timeless colourways designed for maximum wardrobe versatility.
• Is this a polo shirt or a sweater?
  It is a hybrid knit polo — the mid-weight knit construction, half-zip neckline, and ribbed edges place it firmly in the knitwear category, while the polo heritage informs its styling possibilities.
• Can this be worn in warmer months?
  Yes — the breathable mid-weight knit is comfortable in mild summer evenings, especially in coastal or open-air settings.
• Does the zip fully open?
  The zip opens to approximately one-third of the neckline — a half-zip design for adjustable ventilation and styling, not a full front opening.
