Full details

The Carhartt WIP Hooded Nelson Sweatshirt is designed for adults seeking a relaxed, urban-inspired style with durable comfort. Its key benefit lies in its heavy cotton construction and oversized fit, perfect for layering and everyday wear. A potential consideration is its deliberately faded, vintage effect, which may not suit those preferring a pristine look. Key features include a thick unbrushed cotton jersey, pigment dyeing, an adjustable drawstring hood, a kangaroo pocket, and ribbed trims for a comfortable, worn-in feel.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the Nelson Sweatshirt?

The main body is constructed from 100% thick, unbrushed cotton jersey. The hood lining is 65% polyester and 35% cotton, and the ribbing is 95% cotton and 5% elastane.

What does 'pigment dyeing' mean for this sweatshirt?

Pigment dyeing gives the fabric a saturated color with a matte, faded finish, creating a subtle vintage effect. The color may also transfer during the first few washes.

How should I wash this sweatshirt?

Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry.

Is the fit true to size?

The sweatshirt features an oversized and balloon fit, which is intentional for a relaxed style. Please refer to the model's measurements and the general fit description when choosing your size.

Can I wear this in warmer weather?

While it's made of heavy cotton, its oversized fit allows for some breathability. However, it is best suited for cooler weather or as a layering piece.

Does it have a logo?

Yes, it features a woven Carhartt WIP logo patch.

What is the hood made of?

The hood is quilted and features a drawstring. The lining is made of 65% polyester and 35% cotton.

Troubleshooting

Color bleeding during first wash

Wash the sweatshirt separately in cold water before its first wear to prevent color transfer to other garments. This is a normal characteristic of pigment-dyed items.

Shrinkage after washing

To minimize shrinkage, wash in cold water and tumble dry on low heat or opt for air drying. Avoid high heat settings in both washing and drying.

Fit is larger than expected

The sweatshirt is designed with an intentionally oversized and balloon fit. If a less voluminous fit is desired, consider sizing down or layering it with slimmer pieces.
