If there is one item of clothes that really a staple here in Oregon, I would have to believe it is a half-zip long-sleeved top. There’s just something that feels right about tossing on a top to be able to take on the chilly Oregon seasons and hitting the pavement.
Runyon’s quarter zips come in three colors, and are made with 90% microfiber and 10% spandex. They definitely aren’t flashy – which is a definite contrast to the location where the anti-microbial fabric is milled, cut and sewed – Los Angeles.
The top wears great and looks classy. Proper care is essential (as most items are), and I messed up by not properly washing this. A few hot washes have made the collar area a little more flimsy than the beginning. It still looks and performs great, but my own carelessness has worn it out for no good reason other than me! However, this bad boy is becoming a staple in my wardrobe lately during these crisp and chilly autumn evenings.
I really like the simplicity of these running shirts. They keep their visuals simple and the color schemes in the collection muted – always grey. I’m not flashy by nature (though there are some color options in their Training and Trail shirt collections), so I am very down with the grey styling. I have officially been asked on two occasions where I got my shirt, and it has been commented that it exudes a certain “simple fashion”. Who knew I could be such a trendsetter?! The shirts themselves are solid enough to look fine with a pair of jeans. I have actually paired these shirts with a casual zip-up and felt right at home.
I found the shirts to run a little bigger than normal, though not by very much. Being a size L, I sometimes get clothes where a large feels like it is painted on, and then another large from a different company will make me feel like I’m swimming inside it. I found the Runyon Signature to be almost at a perfect fit for me – a tad bit more room without looking like a 10-year-old trying on his dad’s shirt.
