COLLAR UP
WHEN IT TURNS

Most men have one jumper they wear for everything and another they save for when it matters. Nigel does both jobs. It goes over a shirt for Sunday lunch at the in laws and over a plain tee for the garden centre, and looks right at each. When the wind picks up on the walk back to the car, the zip goes up and that is the end of it.

WHY THE NIGEL?

A zip that earns its keep:Open at the neck indoors, zipped to the collar when you step outside. It is the simplest way to go from warm room to cold street without taking anything off.

A pattern with a bit of character:Blocks of colour and clean contrasting lines run across the front, so it looks considered without being loud. It says you made a choice, not that you are trying too hard.

Neat at the waist and wrist:The hem and cuffs are ribbed and sit close, so it does not ride up or hang loose over your hands. It keeps its line whether you are sitting at the table or reaching for the top shelf.

Casual or smart, your call:Jeans and trainers for a Saturday, chinos and a collared shirt when there is somewhere to be. The collar sits neatly over a shirt without fighting it.

Five colours, sizes S to 3XL:Black, Grey, Blue, Brown and Green, all easy to wear with what you already own. It runs true to size with a close, tidy fit, so take your usual, or the next size up if you like more room through the middle.
