The image shows a men’s ribbed half-zip sweater. Professional product description:
Style Versatility: This sweater perfectly combines casual comfort with a light business feel. The half-zip Henley collar design breaks away from the monotony of traditional sweaters, while the ribbed texture gives the garment a vintage feel. It’s suitable for both everyday casual wear and informal business occasions, offering versatile styling options.
Fit Adaptability: Featuring a slim but not tight cut, the raglan sleeves soften the harshness of the shoulder lines, providing a flattering effect for those with sloping or narrow shoulders. The regular length, reaching the waist, naturally accentuates the waistline when paired with trousers, without making you look shorter. It’s suitable for heights ranging from 165cm to 185cm, accommodating different body types.
Wearing Comfort: The half-zip design allows for flexible adjustment of the neckline opening. When worn with a shirt underneath in autumn and winter, the shirt collar can be shown, adding layering to the outfit. When worn alone, unbuttoning one button can relieve neck constriction. It’s more breathable than a turtleneck sweater and more stylish than a crew-neck sweater, balancing aesthetics and practicality.
Durability and Easy Care: The ribbed knit structure makes the sweater more wrinkle-resistant than plain knit fabrics, preventing wrinkles during daily wear and eliminating the need for frequent ironing. The fabric also has a certain degree of pilling resistance, and is less prone to pilling and deformation under normal washing and wearing conditions, resulting in a longer lifespan.
Material Composition: Made from a combed cotton and wool blend fabric (70% cotton, 30% wool), the addition of combed cotton enhances the softness and breathability of the fabric, avoiding the itchy feeling of pure wool and providing superior skin-friendliness. The wool component enhances the fabric’s warmth and drape, ensuring the sweater provides sufficient warmth in autumn and winter, while preventing sagging or drooping. Physical Properties: The fabric weight is 320g/m², making it a medium-weight garment suitable for wearing alone in autumn or as a base layer in winter. It’s neither too thick to restrict movement nor too thin to compromise warmth. The fabric has a stretch and recovery rate of over 85%, resisting deformation during wear and maintaining its original shape even after multiple washes.
Touch and Visual Appeal: The fabric surface has a delicate, velvety feel, soft and smooth to the touch without any roughness. The natural luster of the wool prevents the white sweater from looking dull, instead giving it a soft, matte texture that enhances the garment’s sophisticated look.
Collar Design: Featuring a Henley collar (half-placket stand-up collar) σχέδιο, the 3cm high stand-up collar provides a neat look without the restrictive feeling of a high collar. Two natural shell buttons, 1.2cm in diameter, are placed at the neckline. These buttons are appropriately sized, serving both as decorative elements and for adjusting the collar’s tightness. The natural texture of the shell buttons contrasts with the knitted texture, adding detail and depth.
Shoulder Design: The raglan sleeve design, where the sleeves extend from the neckline to the cuffs, eliminates visible seams at the shoulders, creating a smooth and natural line. This enhances wearing comfort, allows for unrestricted movement, and visually elongates the arms, making the shoulder silhouette appear more defined.
Texture Design: The entire garment features a vertical wide-ribbed knit texture, with a rib width of 1.5cm and a depth of 0.8cm. The vertical texture has a visually slimming effect, shaping the figure and making the wearer’s upper body appear more slender. The gaps between the ribs increase the fabric’s breathability, preventing the knitted sweater from feeling stuffy.
Cuffs and Hem: Both the cuffs and hem feature ribbed edges, with a rib width of 4cm. The moderate elasticity ensures a snug fit around the wrists and waist, preventing cold air from entering and preventing the cuffs from riding up or the hem from curling, maintaining the overall neat appearance. Color Design: Featuring a pure off-white design, white is a versatile color that can be paired with dark-colored trousers such as black, navy blue, and gray, as well as earth-toned items like khaki and brown. It adapts to various styling preferences, and the white color highlights the three-dimensional effect of the ribbed texture, making the design details of the garment more prominent.
Craftsmanship: The vertical ribbed texture is woven using a German Stoll computer knitting machine with a 12-gauge knitting process. The knitting density of the ribs is uniform, with 3 rib loops per centimeter, ensuring the three-dimensional effect and stability of the texture, preventing the ribs from collapsing or deforming.
Texture Function: The vertical ribs are not only a decorative texture but also have practical functions – the vertical structure of the ribs increases the breathability of the fabric, allowing air to circulate in the gaps between the ribs, reducing the sticky feeling after sweating; at the same time, the raised and recessed texture of the ribs increases the space between the fabric and the skin, forming an air insulation layer, enhancing the warmth of the sweater.
Visual Effect: The wide ribbed texture has a more retro feel compared to fine ribs, complementing the Henley collar design and creating an American retro style. The elongated effect of the vertical texture visually lengthens the figure, making it very flattering for those with a slightly fuller figure, providing a slimming effect.
Casual Daily Scenes: Pair with dark denim jeans and white sneakers, unbuttoning one button at the neckline, and wear this sweater alone for a casual everyday look, suitable for shopping, dates, afternoon tea, etc., providing both comfort and style.
Light Business Scenes: Layer with a white shirt, letting the shirt collar show above the sweater neckline, and pair with navy blue trousers and loafers. Unbuttoning the neckline to reveal the shirt collar creates a simple and sophisticated look, suitable for informal business occasions such as commuting and business meetings, balancing professionalism and fashion.
Autumn/Winter Layering Scenes: In winter, it can be used as an inner layer, paired with a black wool coat or a camel trench coat. The ribbed texture of the sweater contrasts with the smooth fabric of the coat, adding layers to the outfit, suitable for various autumn and winter occasions such as commuting, gatherings, and travel. Outdoor activities scenario: Pair with cargo pants and combat boots, wear a sweater alone and layer it with a black down vest. This combination provides warmth while showcasing a workwear-inspired style, suitable for outdoor walks, short trips, and other similar activities.
