If there’s one item you’ll find in every well-dressed Irish man’s wardrobe this year, it’s the 1/4 zip pullover. Smart, simple, and endlessly versatile, the men’s 1/4 zip has quietly become the go-to piece for bridging the gap between comfort and polish.

At Paraffin Stores, we’ve fully embraced the trend—bringing you 1/4 zips that are as practical as they are stylish. Whether you're heading to work in Dublin, grabbing a pint in Galway, or spending the weekend in Athlone, there’s a 1/4 zip that fits the vibe.


What Exactly Is a 1/4 Zip?

Think of it as the perfect middle ground. A 1/4 zip pullover features a short zipper that runs from mid-chest to the collar, giving you adjustable comfort and a bit more sophistication than your average hoodie. It’s sharp enough for a business-casual meeting and laid-back enough for weekend errands.

It’s no wonder this essential is fast becoming a staple in men’s fashion across Ireland.


Why Irish Men Love 1/4 Zips

  • Layer-Friendly: Great over a t-shirt or under a coat—especially with Ireland’s ever-changing weather.

  • Dress Up or Down: Looks equally good with jeans, chinos, or joggers.

  • Weather-Smart: Warm enough for a cool spring or autumn day, and breathable enough to wear indoors.

Whether you're layering for a mens winter wardrobe or adding a go-to transitional piece, the 1/4 zip checks all the boxes.
