The ETQ SW 05 builds that versatility in 100% extrafine merino, soft, fine and quietly warm, with a stand collar that holds its shape and a zip pull finished to match the knit. Designed in our Dutch studio and knitted in China at a mill chosen for its specialism in fine-gauge merino, from wool raised in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross more than 500 verified reviews ETQ holds 4.6 out of 5, and comfort is the word that recurs most after quality.

Merino regulates temperature in both directions and wicks moisture, so it works under a jacket in winter and on its own in spring without overheating. And because it's odour-resistant by nature, you wear it more and wash it less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to wear it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZipped, it's a clean stand-collar layer under a \u003ca href=\"\/en-ae\/collections\/jackets\"\u003ejacket\u003c\/a\u003e with tailored \u003ca href=\"\/en-ae\/collections\/trousers\"\u003etrousers\u003c\/a\u003e; open, it relaxes over a tee with \u003ca href=\"\/en-ae\/collections\/jeans\"\u003edenim\u003c\/a\u003e and clean \u003ca href=\"\/en-ae\/collections\/sneakers\"\u003esneakers\u003c\/a\u003e.

It insulates for its weight, so the half-zip layers without bulk, and it's machine washable where most pure merino needs hand-washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor adjustable warmth and a collar, the half-zip is the pick.
