FAQs

What does 'pigment-dyed' mean for this hoodie?

Pigment dyeing is a process where color is applied to the surface of the fabric rather than penetrating the fibers. This results in a softer feel, a slightly faded appearance that can evolve with wear, and potential for color variations between garments.

How should I care for the diamond-quilted hood lining?

The diamond-quilted lining is part of the main fabric construction. Follow the general care instructions for the hoodie: machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low or hang dry.

Is the oversized fit suitable for all body types?

The 'balloon fit' is a style choice that emphasizes a relaxed, voluminous silhouette. While it offers comfort and a contemporary look, individuals seeking a more fitted garment might find it less suitable or may need to consider a smaller size.

Can I machine wash and dry this hoodie?

Yes, the hoodie can be machine washed cold with like colors and tumble dried on a low setting. However, hang drying is recommended to prolong the garment's lifespan and preserve the fabric's integrity.

What does 'Yosemite' cotton refer to?

'Yosemite' cotton refers to Carhartt WIP's specific designation for their heavyweight, durable cotton twill or jersey, known for its robust quality and comfort.

How do I ensure the color doesn't bleed onto other clothes?

For the first few washes, it is recommended to wash the hoodie separately or with dark-colored items to prevent color transfer from the pigment-dyed fabric.

Troubleshooting

Color seems uneven or lighter than expected.

This is a characteristic of the pigment-dyeing process. The color is designed to evolve over time. If the variation is extreme, check the garment for defects and contact the retailer if necessary.

Hoodie feels too large or bulky.

The Nelson Hoodie is intentionally designed with an 'oversized balloon fit.' If this is not your preferred style, consider sizing down or layering it with slimmer fitting items to balance the silhouette.

Ribbed cuffs or hem have lost elasticity.

Ensure the garment has been washed and dried according to the care instructions. Avoid excessive heat during drying, as it can degrade elastic materials over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

To maintain the integrity of the pigment-dyed fabric and overall garment quality, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a mild detergent. Turn the hoodie inside out before washing to protect the exterior finish.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry low or hang dry for best results. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric and fade the color unevenly.
  3. Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron setting and iron inside out. Avoid direct contact with printed or woven labels.
  4. Dye Transfer: Be mindful that the pigment-dyed fabric may transfer color to lighter garments during the first few washes. Wash separately or with similar dark colors initially.
