BOYS' QUARTER ZIP & HALF ZIP

Boys' half zip and quarter zip tops in fleece-back and knitted fabrics. An easy layer that opens at the neck, worn over a t-shirt or polo for school and weekends.

A zip at the neck makes a half zip easy to open when a classroom warms up, which means it tends to stay on rather than get lost.

Fabrics

Fleece-backed and brushed styles are warmer and more forgiving in the wash. Knitted and jersey styles look smarter and work better over a collar, which suits a stricter uniform policy.

Layering, sizing and care

A t-shirt or polo goes underneath and a jacket over the top, with joggers or shorts below. Sizing runs from ages 3 to 15; take the usual size so the zip sits properly at the neck. Wash cool. See boys' jumpers and boys' sweatshirts.
