{"product_id":"the-rib-meridian-pleated-zip-sweatshirt","title":"The Rib Meridian | Pleated Half-Collar Zip Sweatshirt","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pleat is structure that survives folding. Most knitwear is at its best on a hanger and at its worst after an hour in a car; this piece was built the other way around, with permanent rib pleats running vertically so the garment returns to its line whatever happens to it during a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric is a heavyweight polyester jersey, in the 220 to 320 gram range, with medium stretch and a dry hand that resists pilling. A half-high collar and full-length zip give it a dual identity: zipped to the throat it is a warm layer under a coat, opened to the sternum it becomes a light jacket. The cut is slim through the body with a straight hem, and the one-size construction relies on that stretch rather than on a size grid, which is why it works across a wide range of bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour is where it becomes a wardrobe rather than a single piece. Twelve options run from black, dark grey, khaki and apricot through burgundy and light purple, alongside a parallel set of trouser coordinates in the same pleat construction. Bought as a pair it reads as a suit; bought alone it reads as the layer you reach for on the way out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style:italic;margin-top:16px;\"\u003eGood knitwear does not need to be handled carefully.

It is the top that survives a full day of sitting without creasing across the back, which is why it appears in offices where the dress code is undefined. Paired with the matching pleated trousers it becomes a travel suit that folds into a carry-on; worn alone with denim it is simply the piece that never needs ironing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does one size really fit most people?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The medium stretch and slim cut accommodate roughly a UK 8 to 14.
