Inspired by big comfy man’s sweater, Ralph Zippy Jumper was created to help you feel warm and comfortable, but also versatile as you can zip up or down the zipper to create different looks. With the oversized fit, Ralph Zippy Jumper will be your great company either lounging at home on lazy days or for quick errands out in the supermarkets and to the mall.

Ralph Zippy Jumper has around 10 – 30 cm/ 4 – 11¾” of positive ease built into pattern. Therefore, sizes (XXS) XS (S) M (L) XL (2X) 3X correspond to a bust circumference of (65 – 70) 71 – 81 (83 – 86) 91.5 – 96.5 (101.5 – 106.5) 115.5 – 117 (122 – 127) 132 - 137 cm /(25 – 28) 28 – 30 (32 – 34) 36 – 38 (40 – 42) 44 – 46 (48 – 50) 52 – 54” (the final size of the garment will be additional 10 – 30 cm/ 4 – 11¾”). Since this is an oversized jumper, I would recommend size down if you are in between sizes.
