Pullover vs Zip Hoodie: Which Should You Choose?
Choose a pullover when you prefer a hoodie that pulls over your head. Choose a zip hoodie when you want to open the front, show a T-shirt underneath or adjust your layers without taking the hoodie off.
| Buying question | Pullover hoodie | Zip hoodie |
|---|---|---|
| How does it open? | Pulls over your head | Opens with a front zip |
| How can I layer it? | Wear over a tee for a closed-front look | Wear open or closed over a tee |
| Which size chart? | Use the pullover chart for the specific garment | Use the zip hoodie chart for the specific garment |
Try the Clover shamrock pullover
This Irish-themed pullover is an option for a casual outfit built around the hoodie’s artwork. Check the product gallery for your preferred colour and print placement.
Try the Grit Street Club zip hoodie
This zip hoodie gives you a front-opening option for layering. Check how the artwork sits around the zip in the product images before selecting a colour.
A quick way to decide
- Choose the pullover if you want to wear the hoodie as the main visible layer and prefer a closed front.
- Choose the zip hoodie if you regularly open or remove a layer, or want the T-shirt underneath to remain visible.
- If fit matters more than the opening, compare the product measurements first; the same size letter is not a guarantee of the same dimensions.
Compare dimensions, not just size names
In the supplied standard charts, size S is 67 cm long in both styles, but the pullover is 49 cm wide laid flat and the zip hoodie is 51 cm wide. In size M, both are 70 cm long and 56 cm wide. Measurements can therefore differ by size and style.
Follow the chart on the product you are buying. Do not apply these measurements to children’s or specialist oversized garments.
Printing, care and delivery
The artwork is professionally DTG printed. Follow the garment’s care label. Check the current product options and checkout for price and delivery information, and read the returns policy before buying a gift.
