Short zip, more ways to wear the collar
A half zip opens the neckline while the body stays closed. It lets you vary the neck opening, but does not provide the complete opening of a cardigan.
Sweatshirt
Smoother sweatshirt construction creates a casual look. Check the inside, pockets and ribbing because details vary between styles.
Knitted Troyer
Troyer is associated with knitwear and a high opening collar. The name is also used for sweatshirt styles, so read the product's construction.
Fleece and hood
Fleece has a different texture and volume from smoother fabric. Check any hood and how the collar sits beneath your jacket.
Half zip, quarter zip or Troyer?
Half zip and quarter zip are used for short neck zips, but the names do not give a reliable length in centimetres. Troyer often refers to the high-collar style. Check images and details for the actual opening; some related tops use buttons instead.
How do I choose the collar and fit?
Start with the fit when the zip is closed. A high collar needs suitable room around your neck; when open it should fall as you want. Compare chest and upper-arm room with your own top if you plan to wear a shirt underneath. Choose by measurements rather than automatically sizing up.
Layering without unnecessary bulk
Open the collar to show a thin base layer or shirt collar. Under a jacket, both the neckline and sleeves need room. Compare knitted sweaters, Nordic pattern sweaters, or choose full zip if you want a completely opening front.
