The Thermometer Whisperer

It’s 8 am, you step outside, and feel the nip in the air. By midday, the sun’s blazing. By 4 pm, there’s a light breeze. By evening? Chilly again. Your day’s been the usual voyage through a series of microclimates, and yet this time it didn’t require any awkward outfit shuffles. Your secret? The Half-Zip Sweatshirt. With a well-placed zip that lets you play temperature DJ and a thick fleece that provides maximum comfort, you’re sorted no matter how capricious the weather may be.

 

 

BUILT-IN THERMOSTAT

The collar zips right up to the neck and stays neatly in place, thanks to a double layer of fabric and some cleverly reinforced stitching. We’ve added a YKK zip so you can switch between full-on battle against the elements, to breezy and cool in one smooth move. Like a thermostat with a sense of style.

PERFECTLY PICKED COTTON, NEXT-LEVEL FLEECE

This 380g/m² fleece is bang-on for keeping you just right—not too warm, not too chilly. Made from organic cotton grown without any nasty pesticides or chemicals, it’s softer than a cloud and much kinder to the planet. The result? Comfort so good you’ll wonder why anyone wears anything else.

FINISHES THAT GO THE DISTANCE

Our ribbing strikes it just right: 90% cotton, 10% elastane. That magic mix gives it dependable elasticity and rock-solid durability. And yes, it’ll hold its shape even after hundreds of washes. Start counting soon.

Zip to it

Our Half-Zip Sweatshirt launches for preorder this Tuesday at 10 am for 79€—more than a fair price for a 100% organic cotton sweatshirt made by skilled Portuguese artisans. Miss the preorder, you’ll have to hope you spot it again at a later stock sale, where it’ll go for 109€ to cater for inventory costs. To avoid missing out, sign up for the alert just below.

The first to place their preorder will be the first to receive delivery so preorder sharpish to expect delivery from 15 April. As always with Asphalte, preordering means no waste and no unwanted surplus—just the right amount made for people who actually want them.
