Nice quarter zips for 9th and 12th grade boys

Anonymous
I would like to get my nephews, 9th and 12th grades, quarter zips or something like that for Christmas. They are both students at New England boarding schools if that matters. I am not sure if Vineyard Vines is "in" anymore? What brands should I look for - and if not quarter zips, what else? Thank you.

Try Lululemon, Rag and Bone or Faherty. My teen DS would wear VV but it wouldn’t be his first choice.

Ralph Lauren and Columbia both have beautiful quarter zips. My kids wear that for golf outing.

Patagonia, LLBean, and Lands End. But Lands End is cheaper so may not be considered cool. You could also consider Smart wool.

I'm around that age and would say North Face, Nike, Patagonia or Ralph Lauren are probably your best bets

Do you mean sweaters or athletic wear? If sweaters, check out JCrew and JCrew Factory. I’ve purchased a number of them there over the years for my sons.

I agree with these brands. I have a 12th grade boy and these are what he'd choose.

I'm amazed that some of your boys have opinions on labels. My teen boys only care if the label is itchy.

Get them ones associated with the sports team from your town. Don’t try to figure out what brand is cool. Target has nice ones for the Ravens etc for about $40/each

OP here and this is exactly my situation, which is why I am asking here. DS doesn’t care but my nephews definitely do!
Thanks everyone for the great suggestions!

Since OP mentioned NE boarding schools, my guess is Target is not on the options list.

Haha. Point taken. Still. I wouldn’t try to compete on labels- but sports gear is usually appreciated whatever your price point.
