A Fair Isle chest band and cable-knit body give the Highbury its winter character. Wear the quarter-zip open over an Oxford shirt or zipped over a tee. The pattern itself carries a documented history: in 1921, Edward, Prince of Wales wore a Fair Isle jumper at St Andrews, and the style has been a winter staple since.

The Highbury is our patterned men's quarter zip jumper for colder smart casual outfits. It combines a Nordic Fair Isle jacquard chest band with a cable-knit lower body, giving you more texture than a plain quarter zip. Read how to wear a Fair Isle jumper.

Wear it zipped over a tee, open over an Oxford shirt, or under an overcoat for winter. Pair with straight-leg jeans, chinos or tailored trousers.

Questions & answers

95% cotton with 5% elastane for a little stretch. The chest band is a Nordic Fair Isle jacquard and the body is cable knit.

How do I wash it?

Choose by the garment, not by guesswork. Every WARDLEY product page carries a garment measurement table for that piece, supplied by its maker. This guide brings together the size ranges we sell and the fit notes for our most-asked-about pieces, so you can compare before you order. All measurements below are garment measurements in centimetres, exactly as published on the product pages — they are not body measurements. Please allow the maker’s tolerance of 1–3 cm where the product page states it.

How to choose your size

• Start with the size you usually wear. Most WARDLEY knitwear and coats are a regular fit.
• To check a piece properly, lay a similar garment you own flat, measure it, and compare your figures with the table for that product.
• Where a piece has a specific fit note — for example, our fleece dressing gown runs small — the product page says so, and we repeat the note below.
• Still unsure? Email support@wardleylondon.co.uk with your usual size before ordering and we will advise.

Knitwear

Fair Isle Quarter-Zip Jumper — Highbury (sizes S–XXL). Regular fit.

Shawl Collar Knit Cardigan — Primrose (sizes S–XL). Regular fit. Between sizes? The product page advises sizing up for a relaxed fit.

Coats

Double-Breasted Overcoat — Greenwich (sizes S–XXL). Regular fit, cut to layer over a jumper. Between sizes? Size up if you will wear it over chunky knitwear.

Longline Overcoat — Hampstead (sizes S–XXL). Regular fit, cut long with room to layer over knitwear or a suit jacket. The product page advises comparing these measurements with a coat that fits you well over the layers you plan to wear.

Dressing gowns

Fleece Dressing Gown — Chelsea (sizes S–XXL). Relaxed fit. This gown runs small: if you are between sizes, take the larger size.

Trousers

Most WARDLEY trousers are sized by letter (S–XL) — the Tapered Stretch Tech Trousers (Camden) and the Pleated Linen-Look Trousers (Henley), for example. Tailored and tech styles such as the Lancaster Stretch Tech Trouser are sized by waist, W30–W38 (inches). Choose the size you usually wear; the sizes offered for each style are listed on its product page.

Socks

The Boot Socks 5-Pack is one size, fitting UK shoe sizes 6–11 (EUR 40–46). Where another sock style is sized differently, its product page states the fit.

Footwear

Our footwear is sold in UK sizes 6–11. Suede loafers (Cadogan) and Chelsea boots (Lowndes) are true to size; the elastic gussets on the Lowndes ease over the first few wears. Suede trainers (Eaton) are true to size. If you are between sizes in a loafer, take the smaller size — suede softens and moulds to the foot. Use the table to convert from EU or US sizing, or measure your foot length heel to toe and compare.

Footwear can be tried on indoors and returned unworn, in its box, within 30 days.
