Urban Explorer High Collar Quarter Zip Pullover – Technical Knitwear | Kingswell

The Urban Explorer High Collar Quarter Zip Pullover is an architectural knitwear piece designed for the gentleman who moves between environments without compromising his standard. The high collar and quarter-zip construction provide adaptable layering and temperature regulation, while thoughtfully selected materials deliver lasting comfort, durability, and a refined hand-feel that elevates the everyday pullover into something far more considered.

Why choose this Sweater?

• Quarter-Zip Versatility: The zip closure allows precise temperature regulation — fully closed for warmth and authority, partially open for a more relaxed, contemporary aesthetic.
• High Collar Architecture: The elevated collar frames the face with structural elegance and functions as a standalone neckline without needing an additional layer beneath.
• Quality Material Selection: Carefully chosen fibres deliver a refined hand-feel, shape retention through extended wear, and the kind of durability expected from considered menswear.
• Layering Capability: The clean silhouette works as both a standalone statement and a functional mid-layer beneath tailored outerwear during colder periods.

Styling & Fit

1. Smart Casual: Wear zipped to the collar with slim tailored trousers and leather boots for a clean, contemporary look that needs nothing else.
2. Relaxed Authority: Pair unzipped at the collar with dark jeans and premium trainers for a weekend silhouette that reads effortlessly considered.
3. Layered Warmth: Use as a mid-layer beneath a structured overcoat or parka when the temperature demands it — the high collar fills the neckline beautifully.

Care & Maintenance

• Machine wash on a cold or cool gentle cycle to preserve fibre integrity and the collar's structural definition.
• Lay flat on a clean towel to dry; avoid hanging knitwear wet as this can cause the shoulders and body to stretch out of shape.
• Store folded in a drawer or shelf rather than on a hanger to maintain the pullover's original structure and proportions.
