Product Insights
Men's quarter-zip pullover with a high stand collar, not a full-zip cardigan. 66% wool, 18% cotton, 16% polyamide (nylon); some retailers list the polyamide as recycled. Regular fit with a relaxed body and dropped shoulders. Hand wash; do not bleach, tumble dry or dry clean; iron with or without steam. The main tradeoffs are hand-wash care, a single Black colourway, and no documented chin guard behind the zip.
Verified claims
- design
- Men's quarter-zip pullover with a high stand collar, not a full-zip cardigan.
- fit
- Regular fit with a relaxed body and dropped shoulders.
- sizing
- Sizes SMALL through X-LARGE; if wearing zipped over a shirt, prioritize shoulder and chest room, and size up if it pulls across the back or the hem rides up.
- material
- 66% wool, 18% cotton, 16% polyamide (nylon); some retailers list the polyamide as recycled.
- warmth
- Mid-weight knit warm enough as a standalone layer in cool fall, best as a mid-layer under a coat in colder weather.
- shape retention
- Wool content helps the knit recover and retain shape after wear and laundering.
- durability
- Polyamide adds abrasion resistance and resilience to the wool-rich blend.
- comfort
- Next-to-skin comfort depends on wool fibre fineness, which is not specified; cotton softens the blend, but sensitive skin may prefer a layer underneath.
- construction
- Elastic-ribbed cuffs, hem and stand collar compress inward to hold edges, block drafts and keep pushed-up sleeves in place; check recovery by stretching and releasing.
- care
- Hand wash; do not bleach, tumble dry or dry clean; iron with or without steam.
- laundering risks
- Hand washing and flat drying help prevent wool felting and shrinkage, and limit pilling at cuffs, collar and underarms.
- zipper
- Silver-tone metal zip closes directly against the rib-knit stand collar; no inner placket or chin guard is documented.
- color
- Only Black is offered, and it reads as a high-contrast black-and-off-white speckle rather than solid black.
- aesthetic
- Heavily speckled marling adds visual depth and pairs best with simple, solid-colour layers and trousers.
- styling
- Wear the zip open or closed over a shirt for smart-casual looks; add a casual jacket over it for extra warmth.
- suitable uses
- Works for fall standalone wear, winter layering, and casual smart outfits with jeans or chinos.
- origin
- Made in Portugal.
- brand heritage
- Established in 2016 by Reid Baker and Inês Amorim, the label mixes European elegance with Americana and menswear classics with rebellious creativity.
- value
- At 800 CAD, the value rests on the wool-rich blend, Portuguese production and designer label; all sizes carry the same price.
- tradeoffs
- The main tradeoffs are hand-wash care, a single Black colourway, and no documented chin guard behind the zip.
