Men's Half-Zip Turtleneck Cardigan | Black / M 100400907161171

How to measure

To get the best fit, measure both your body and a favorite sweater or the garment laid flat. Use a soft measuring tape, keep it parallel to the floor and relaxed (not tight).

Measuring your body

1. Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms. Record the circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure across the back from the edge of one shoulder to the other (where shoulder meets arm).
3. Sleeve length: Measure from the center back of the neck across the shoulder to the wrist (total sleeve), or from shoulder seam to wrist for garment comparisons.
4. Front length (HSP to hem): Measure from the high shoulder point (base of the neck) down to the hem.
5. Neck circumference: Measure around the base of the neck where the turtleneck sits.
6. Waist & hips: Measure around your natural waist and the fullest part of your hips if you want a precise hem fit.

Measuring a garment (laid flat)

1. Chest (pit-to-pit): Lay the cardigan flat, smooth wrinkles. Measure across 1–2 cm below the armholes and double that number for full circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure from seam to seam straight across the back.
3. Sleeve length: From shoulder seam to cuff (or center back neck across shoulder to cuff for total length).
4. Length: From the high shoulder point (HSP) to the bottom hem.
5. Collar height: Measure collar height zipped up and zipped down if relevant to styling.

Conversion: 1 in = 2.54 cm. Knit garments can vary ±1–3 cm; if between sizes, choose based on desired fit (size down for slimmer, size up for relaxed).

Materials

Check the garment tag for the exact composition. Common materials for a half-zip turtleneck cardigan and their characteristics:

• Merino wool — soft, breathable, temperature-regulating and naturally odor-resistant; great for year-round layering.
• Cashmere (or cashmere blend) — extremely soft and insulating; luxurious feel but typically requires gentler care.
• Cotton — breathable and easy-care; ideal for lighter-weight knits and casual wear.
• Wool blends (wool + nylon/acrylic) — balance of warmth, softness, improved durability and easier maintenance.
• Acrylic / Polyester — durable, colorfast and low-maintenance; less breathable than natural fibers.
• Nylon / Elastane — small percentages add stretch and help the knit retain shape.

Trims and hardware: Zippers are commonly metal or molded plastic; cuffs, hem and collar usually use ribbed knitting for recovery. For exact yarn percentages, refer to the product label.

Model information

Reference example: Model height 6'1" (185 cm), chest 38" (97 cm), wearing size M. The garment shown is a regular/modern fit and is true to size.

Fit advice: for a slim, layered look choose your usual size; for a roomier fit that accommodates thicker layers, consider sizing up one.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always follow the garment care label first.
• Prep: Zip up the half-zip and turn the cardigan inside out before washing to protect the face and hardware.
• Wool / Merino / Cashmere: Hand wash in cold water with a gentle wool detergent or use a wool/delicate machine cycle in a mesh bag. Do not use hot water or high spin. Lay flat to dry and reshape while damp. Dry clean if recommended.
• Cotton / Blends / Synthetics: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, inside out. Air dry flat for best shape retention; tumble dry low only if the care label permits.
• Pilling: Remove pills gently with a fabric shaver or sweater comb to refresh appearance.
• Ironing & steaming: Steam to remove wrinkles or iron on low with a pressing cloth; avoid high heat on synthetics.
• Storage: Fold knits rather than hanging to prevent shoulder stretch. Store in a cool, dry place; use cedar or breathable storage to deter moths.
• Spot care: Blot spills immediately and test stain removers on an inconspicuous area first.

Style Tips

• Casual: Zip partially over a white or neutral T‑shirt; pair with slim denim and clean sneakers for an easy everyday look.
• Smart-casual: Wear zipped down over a button‑down shirt with chinos and leather boots or loafers.
• Layering: Use as a mid-layer under a coat or over a lightweight shirt; zipped up it protects the neck, zipped down it reveals undershirts or collars.
• Travel: Choose a wool-blend for temperature control and low-crease properties; the half-zip is versatile for changing climates.
• Color pairings: Navy — grey, tan, white; Charcoal — denim, olive, black; Camel/beige — navy and dark denim.
• Collar styling: Zip fully for warmth and a sharp neckline; unzip slightly to soften the look and show a layered shirt.
• Accessories: Complement the knit with a leather belt, minimalist watch or a wool scarf; avoid overly bulky accessories that compete with the textured knit.
