St. John's Bay Quarter Zip Mens Pullover
Our St. John's Bay quarter zip is built for the guy who values comfort without sacrificing put-together style. This pullover features a brushed fleece interior that feels soft against the skin, while the smooth jersey outer face resists pilling through dozens of washes. The quarter-length zipper lets you adjust ventilation on the fly — zip it up for extra warmth or leave it open for a relaxed collar.
We chose a 60/40 cotton-polyester blend for this St. John's Bay quarter zip because it delivers the best balance of breathability and durability. The cotton side keeps air flowing during active wear, while polyester fibers add shape retention so the pullover doesn't stretch out after a few cycles. Inside, the fleece is lightly brushed to create a plush surface that traps warmth without adding bulk — you get insulation that works in a layering system rather than forcing you to size up your outerwear.
Sizing & Fit Guide
This quarter zip runs true to size with a regular fit that sits close to the body without hugging. If you prefer extra room for layering a thermal long sleeve underneath, consider ordering one size up. Chest measurements: S (34–36 inches), M (38–40), L (42–44), XL (46–48), XXL (50–52).
Sleeve length is cut for average proportions — the cuffs sit just below the wrist bone when your arms hang naturally at your sides. The body length covers the belt line, preventing the pullover from riding up when you reach or bend. Ribbed side panels provide slight stretch through the torso, accommodating different body shapes while maintaining a clean silhouette.
Care & Maintenance Instructions
Machine wash this pullover in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the fleece texture and prevent shrinkage. We recommend turning it inside out before washing to protect the outer jersey surface from abrasion. Use a mild detergent — avoid bleach or fabric softeners, which can break down the polyester fibers and reduce moisture-wicking performance.
Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air-dry. High heat can cause the fleece to mat and the ribbing to lose elasticity. If you notice pilling after extended wear, use a fabric shaver to remove surface fuzz rather than pulling it by hand. The quarter zip’s colorfast dye holds up well in mixed loads, but wash dark colors separately for the first few cycles to prevent any minimal color transfer.

Common Questions About This Quarter Zip
This pullover runs true to size with a regular fit. Most customers find their usual size works perfectly. If you plan to layer a thick shirt or thermal underneath, sizing up one size will give you extra room through the chest and shoulders without the sleeves being too long.
Yes, you can tumble dry this pullover on low heat. We recommend low rather than high to preserve the fleece texture and prevent the ribbed cuffs from losing elasticity. Air-drying is also a great option if you want to extend the garment’s lifespan even further.
The St. John’s Bay quarter zip is made from a 60 percent cotton, 40 percent polyester fleece blend. Cotton provides breathability and natural comfort, while polyester adds durability and helps the pullover maintain its shape through repeated washing and wearing.
The brushed fleece is on the inside only, giving you soft warmth against your skin. The outer face is a smooth jersey knit that resists pilling and provides a clean, finished look. This construction keeps the pullover comfortable without adding unnecessary bulk.
A size large measures approximately twenty-eight inches from the top of the shoulder to the bottom hem. This length is designed to cover your belt line and prevent the pullover from riding up when you move or sit. If you prefer a longer fit, sizing up will add about one inch to the body length.
This particular style does not include pockets. We designed it with a streamlined silhouette to work as a layering piece under jackets or as a standalone top. If you need pockets, our full-zip hoodie in the same fabric family includes a kangaroo pocket and side hand pockets.
The dye we use is colorfast and holds up well through regular laundering. Washing in cold water and turning the pullover inside out will help preserve the original color intensity. Customers report minimal to no fading even after dozens of wash cycles, especially when following the care instructions on the hang tag.
