Nino Men’s Organic Cotton Quarter Zip Jumper
Nino is a cotton quarter zip jumper for men, made from 100% organic cotton and shaped for the space between relaxed and polished. The ribbed stand collar can sit open for an easy line or close higher around the neck when the air turns cool.
A smooth plain-knit body keeps the look clean, while the zip opening adds enough definition to make the jumper feel more considered than a casual sweatshirt. The substantial multi-ply construction gives it presence without relying on cables, logos or decorative stitching.
Set-in shoulders establish a neat silhouette before the full-length sleeves narrow into deep ribbed cuffs. A matching ribbed hem anchors the straight body, preserving a regular fit that works naturally over a tee or a fine shirt.
With the natural comfort of organic cotton and the substance of true knitwear, Nino is a wool-free layer designed to move easily between workdays, weekends and changing seasons.

Cotton Quarter Zip Jumper, Without the Sportswear Feel
Nino earns its character from proportion rather than decoration. The smooth body, defined shoulders and compact zip neckline make it more refined than a sweatshirt but less formal than a fully collared knit.
Its substantial handle gives the garment a steady drape, while the plain stitch keeps the overall appearance calm. The result is a men’s cotton half zip jumper that feels purposeful without becoming fussy.
Ribbed edges provide a quiet contrast in texture and help frame the body, sleeves and neckline as one balanced design.
A Collar with Two Personalities
The ribbed stand collar frames the neck, while the zip creates two distinct ways to wear it. Left open, the neckline falls into a relaxed shape that layers comfortably over a tee. Drawn higher, it creates a cleaner funnel-neck line and a little more coverage.
The set-in sleeve seams keep the shoulders defined rather than deliberately dropped. From there, the sleeves follow a straightforward line before meeting deep vertical-ribbed cuffs.
At the lower edge, the broad ribbed hem gives the straight body a controlled finish without making the silhouette feel tight.
Organic Cotton with Real Substance
This cotton quarter zip jumper is knitted from organic cotton, offering plant-based, wool-free comfort with the depth of traditional knitwear. Its surface is smooth rather than brushed, making it a useful choice for customers who prefer natural fibres without a fuzzy handle.
Because Nino is knitted rather than cut from sweatshirt fleece, it carries a clearer stitch definition and a more polished structure. The multi-ply yarn also gives the fabric a fuller feel than a fine summer cotton layer.
Cotton has less natural spring than wool and can relax with wear, so careful washing, reshaping and folded storage help preserve the original proportions. Learn more in Ochre’s organic cotton guide or explore the wider organic cotton knitwear collection.
How the Nino Cotton Quarter Zip Jumper Fits
Nino follows a regular, straight shape rather than an oversized cut. The set-in shoulders give the upper body definition, while the torso retains enough ease for comfortable everyday layering.
The larger option adds noticeable room across the chest as well as extra body and sleeve length. Choose it when you prefer a more relaxed outline or plan to wear a fine layer underneath.
The chest measurement is the width of the garment laid flat, not a body measurement or full circumference. Comparing the table with a jumper you already enjoy wearing will give the most reliable guide.
Smart Layering, Relaxed Ease
Wear Nino with the zip open over a plain tee for an informal weekend look, or bring the collar higher when the temperature drops. Its smooth surface also sits neatly beneath an overshirt, field jacket or unstructured coat.
The straight body and clean neckline work naturally with denim and chinos, while the disciplined shoulder line makes the jumper equally comfortable beside tailored trousers.

Care That Respects Cotton
Treat the sewn-in care label as the final instruction for washing and drying. Use a gentle detergent suited to natural fibres, and avoid twisting or wringing the knit.
After washing, ease the collar, shoulder line, cuffs and hem back into shape while the jumper is damp. Keep it away from direct heat and follow the label’s drying guidance.
Once completely dry, store Nino folded. A hanger can place unnecessary strain on the shoulders and may encourage a cotton knit to lengthen over time.
Nino Questions, Answered
Is Nino a quarter-zip or a half-zip jumper?
The zip runs partway down the front from the stand collar, so quarter zip is the most precise description. Some customers also search for this knitted neckline as a half zip, and both terms refer to the same versatile style.
How does the Nino cotton quarter zip jumper fit?
Nino has a regular, straight fit with defined set-in shoulders. It is not designed as an oversized style, although the larger size provides more ease through the chest along with additional body and sleeve length.
Is Nino a sweatshirt?
No. Nino is a true knitted jumper with a smooth stitch face and ribbed collar, cuffs and hem. It has more structure and knit definition than cut-and-sewn sweatshirt jersey.
Can I wear the collar open and closed?
Yes. Leave the zip open for a relaxed neckline or draw it higher to create a cleaner funnel-neck shape and added coverage.
Is Nino suitable for someone who avoids wool?
Yes. Nino is made with organic cotton, giving it a smooth, wool-free handle without a brushed or fuzzy surface.
How should I choose between the two sizes?
Compare the flat garment measurements with a jumper that already fits you well. Pay particular attention to the chest width, then check the body and sleeve lengths for the proportion you prefer.
Where is Nino made, and what happens if my choice is unavailable?
Nino is carefully made in Ochre’s Kathmandu factory. Ochre’s UK shops hold stock, while an unavailable size or shade can be produced and delivered from Kathmandu; please allow up to twenty working days.
