I had been considering replacing my 20+ year old faithful fleece quarter zip and making a move toward more natural, sustainable fibers in my wardrobe. I also pride myself on minding natural resources (like using less water, doing less laundry) and also on packing light when I travel. When I came across the Oliver Charles website, it seemed as if their apparel could be the type of clothing I was looking for. However, I was a little reluctant to buy given the pricepoint and wondering if all the descriptions were too good to be true. The lifetime warrantee and that OC stands behind their products with a guarantee led me to make the purchase and give the zip a try. As I had a 2 1/2 week multi-country trip planned, that seemed like the perfect time and context to take the OC zip for a few adventures to see how it performed relative to my long-time fleece.
I was so impressed with the OC customer service. Before ordering the sweater, I had several questions about sizing and the timing of printing/delivery and the OC team was always very nice and very quick to respond. They were even able to provide my sweater more quickly than I had expected so I had it in plenty of time for my trip. The fit, feel and finish of the quarter zip is so much nicer than I had imagined it would be. While I was worried that the sizing might be snug (particularly around the chest), the cut is roomy yet fitted, giving a dressy appearance. The fabric is thick enough to hold its shape, but much softer to the touch than other wools. I appreciate the lack of seams more than I even realized I would.
The quarter-zip sweater is versatile across climates. It never seems too light or too heavy. It feels great layered over a t-shirt, over a long sleeve button down, or even just on its own. And, when not needed, it easily stuffs into a backpack only to come out again looking great. I was so impressed with how fresh-smelling the zip remained. I have a very strong sense of smell and thought for sure that I would smell a "wooliness" or a remnant of body scent after an afternoon hike. Expect for the time I spilled lagostino garlic butter on myself, there was not ever any foul odor coming from the sweater -- and even that one odor rinsed out easily and the sweater air dried to be used the following day. In all honestly, in terms of how fresh-smelling it keeps you, there were times on this trip when I wish some of the people around me were wearing one of these sweaters, too. It would have made for much more pleasant subway/bus rides (LOL).
This navy quarter-zip has so greatly out performed relative to my long-time polyester fleece zip that I now can't imagine how I my wardrobe was complete without it. It has definitely become my new goto not only for travel when I want to pack versatilely or light, but also just in everyday areas with great A/C. I would recommend this all-season quarter zip to anyone who wants a comfortable, quality piece of clothing appropriate for casual and semi-dressy occasions; those looking to add more sustainable clothing to their wardrobe; those looking to pack light; and those looking for a zip that will look and smell great through multiple wearings. This zip has quickly become a favorite for me and I am confident it will for others as well!

Weather in SoCal is tricky because it can be quite hot and then cool off very quickly. The 1/4 zip did the job of balancing the two extremes. And, because I live a rather active lifestyle, the form fit allowed me to move easily and effectively. Sometimes a sweater can hang on you, creating inertia as you change directions, but not the 1/4 zip- it stays right with you. When I was out in the front yard singing on Thursday it did a great job of keeping me cozy as the temperature dropped. I usually get chilly and need reinforcements but not this time. It will be a go-to sweater for not only the front yard jam but also for the cool mornings on the tennis court and the bike rides to the beach. I like my clothing to be low profile and the quarter zip really fits the bill. And the fact that cleaning the sweater is so easy is a big plus. Thank you OC!!

This is my 2nd OC sweater, so I knew how fabulous it would be. I was super excited to try the 1/4 zip, since it’s my favorite format for a mid layer. This is a great travel piece as the charcoal color is dark, the zipper makes it easy to get on and off, and the wool makes it durable, repeatable and care-free. Everyone should have that perfect travel companion that makes your life easier. An OC sweater is that and looks great too!

Perfect for travel and in-between/fluctuating temps. Soft, sensory-friendly, easy to wash, quick to dry! I’ve been eyeing Oliver Charles sweaters for over a year, and was excited to finally try one of their pieces for the 7 day challenge. The quarter zip in grey proved to be as lovely as anticipated. I'm already very much a proud outfit-repeater, so I’m always looking for pieces that will serve many purposes and act as a versatile option in my closet. I The quarter zip very much proved it’s worth. After 7 days, I can say that I really love the sweater.
- Lightweight and rolls easily to pack/store
- Great at regulating temps, without making you feel too hot or too cold
- Classic design that feels equally great with PJs or more dressed up
- Really soft comfy texture that doesn't itch
- Smooth zipper that doesn't snag
- Washes easily and hangs to dry VERY quickly
- NO SEAMS means an amazing sensory-friendly feel (no digging into armpits, itching forearms etc)
I love the company’s focus on sustainability, and the innovative knitting method that creates a waste-free + smooth, comfy fit. I really loved my experience and will definitely be trying other Oliver Charles pieces!

I had the pleasure of field testing the all season quarters zip sweater and it truly was a pleasure! After wearing the sweater for 7 days straight one might think it would be a relief to be wear something else, but I didn’t feel that way at all. It quickly became my favorite wardrobe staple for so many reasons. It is soft and cozy, but temperature regulating so really very comfortable to wear most times of the year. I often struggle with being cold and wear multiple layers inside year round, so it is such an relief to have a sweater I know will keep me warm enough in over-air conditioned buildings but not cause me to overheat if go outside and it’s 70 degrees out. I put the sweater to the test by not washing it after wearing it daily for a week and it did not look soiled or smell at all! Saving time and energy by doing less laundry is worth a lot to me. Given all the benefits of the sweater and how versatile it is in style and use, I’d recommend it to anyone and everyone.

When I received my sweater, Virginia was in the middle of a heat wave, so I admired it, but didn't wear it yet. Then we headed to England for two weeks, where the weather was in the 60s to 70s range, and I wore my new Quarter Zip every single day for at least part of the day. I wore it with jeans and a rain jacket, with dress pants, layered on top of a short and a long-sleeved tee-shirt, and most often over just a short sleeved wool shirt. I'm pretty sensitive to itchy wool, but this sweater is amazing -- soft and warm, lightweight and easy to fit into a backpack or even my purse, and never itchy. I'm looking forward to enjoying it for years to come!

When I came across the Oliver Charles website, it seemed as if their apparel could be the type of clothing I was looking for. However, I was a little reluctant to buy given the pricepoint and wondering if all the descriptions were too good to be true. The lifetime warrantee and that OC stands behind their products with a guarantee led me to make the purchase and give the zip a try. As I had a 2 1/2 week multi-country trip planned, that seemed like the perfect time and context to take the OC zip for a few adventures to see how it performed relative to my long-time fleece.
I was so impressed with the OC customer service.
