Product Information
Full details
The Carhartt WIP Nelson Zip Hoodie is designed for adults seeking a durable and stylish outerwear option with a relaxed fit. Its key benefit lies in its heavyweight, garment-dyed cotton construction, offering both comfort and a unique, saturated look. A potential consideration is its balloon fit, which may not suit everyone's preferred silhouette. Key features include a front zip closure, adjustable drawstring hood, dropped shoulders, kangaroo pocket, and ribbed trims, all crafted from unbrushed cotton jersey with loopback construction.

FAQs
What does 'balloon fit' mean?
Balloon fit refers to a relaxed, voluminous silhouette characterized by dropped shoulders and a looser cut, creating a boxier shape.
What is the material of the hoodie?
The hoodie is made from 100% heavyweight, unbrushed cotton jersey with a loopback construction.
How does garment-dyeing affect the hoodie?
Garment dyeing is done after the hoodie is constructed, resulting in a richer, more saturated, and often slightly washed-out color that becomes softer with age.
Is this hoodie suitable for women?
While listed under 'Male' attributes, the balloon fit and design are often considered unisex. Please check the size guide for measurements.
How should I care for the garment-dyed color?
Wash in cold water with like colors and avoid bleach. Air drying or low tumble dry is recommended to preserve the color and fabric integrity.
What is the difference between this and a standard hoodie?
The Nelson Zip Hoodie features a heavier cotton, a unique garment-dyed finish, and a distinctive balloon fit with dropped shoulders, differentiating it from standard, lighter-weight hoodies.
Troubleshooting
Color fading unevenly
This is a characteristic of the garment-dyed process and adds to the unique appearance. Wash with like colors in cold water.
Shrinkage after washing
Follow care instructions carefully. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to minimize shrinkage. If shrinkage occurs, it may relax with wear.
Zipper is stiff
Gently try to work the zipper up and down. Lubricating the teeth with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax can help.
