Product Information
Full details
The Carhartt WIP Harper Polo is designed for adults seeking a durable yet comfortable, relaxed-fit layer for everyday wear. Crafted from heavyweight cotton jersey, this garment-dyed polo offers a premium, soft hand feel and a versatile silhouette that pairs well with casual or semi-casual outfits. While its high-quality construction ensures longevity, users should be aware that the oversized, balloon-fit nature of the garment means it runs larger than standard sizing, which may require sizing down for a more tailored look.

FAQs
Is the Carhartt WIP Harper Polo unisex?
While listed under men's apparel, its oversized design makes it a popular choice for anyone preferring a relaxed, baggy silhouette.
Does the fabric shrink after washing?
As it is made of cotton, minimal shrinkage may occur if exposed to high heat. We recommend washing in cold water and air drying.
Can I wear this under a jacket?
Yes, but keep in mind the oversized balloon fit may add bulk, so it pairs best under loose-fitting outerwear or heavy jackets.
What does 'unbrushed' cotton mean?
Unbrushed cotton means the inner side of the fabric has not been mechanically raised to create a 'fleece' feel, keeping it more breathable and structured.
Is the zipper functional?
Yes, the quarter-zip is fully functional and allows you to adjust the neckline for comfort and style.
How do I choose the right size?
Since the fit is oversized, if you are between sizes or prefer a tighter fit, we suggest ordering one size down from your standard measurement.
Troubleshooting
Fabric color appears slightly uneven.
This is a characteristic of the garment-dyeing process and not a defect; color variation adds to the unique aesthetic of the piece.
The garment feels too large in the torso.
The Harper Polo is designed as an oversized fit. If you prefer a more tailored look, consider sizing down from your usual size.
Ribbed cuffs are losing elasticity.
Avoid stretching the cuffs while damp and ensure the item is air dried flat to maintain the shape of the knit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Harper Polo in top condition, follow standard care protocols for garment-dyed apparel. Always machine wash in cold water using a gentle cycle to prevent excessive fading and to protect the structure of the cotton. Turn the garment inside out before washing to reduce friction on the exterior fabric. Avoid using heavy-duty detergents or bleach. For drying, air drying is highly recommended to prevent shrinking, as the heavyweight cotton may react significantly to high heat in a tumble dryer. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with the woven label.
