Product Information
Full details
This guide is for individuals seeking a durable, stylish, and comfortable hooded sweatshirt with a relaxed fit. The key benefit is its heavyweight cotton construction and garment-dyed finish, offering both longevity and a unique aesthetic. A potential consideration is its oversized 'Balloon fit,' which may require sizing down for a less voluminous silhouette. Key features include a padded, lined hood, front zip closure, ribbed trims, and a kangaroo pocket.

FAQs
What does 'Balloon fit' mean?
The 'Balloon fit' is Carhartt WIP's term for an intentionally oversized, boxy, and relaxed silhouette, offering generous room for comfort and layering.
Is the interior brushed or unbrushed cotton?
The Nelson Zip Hoodie is made from unbrushed cotton, featuring a tactile loopback construction on the inside.
How should I care for the garment-dyed fabric?
Wash cold with like colors. Avoid high heat drying, as it can affect the dye and potentially cause shrinkage. Initial washes may see some color transfer, so washing separately is recommended.
Can I wear this as an outer layer in mild weather?
Yes, its heavyweight cotton construction makes it suitable as an outer layer in mild to cool conditions.
Does the hoodie have a drawstring?
Yes, the hood is adjustable and features a drawstring.
What is the purpose of the woven Square Label?
The woven Square Label is a signature Carhartt WIP branding element, providing a recognizable mark of the brand's quality and style.
How do I choose the right size?
Given the 'Balloon fit,' if you prefer a very loose, oversized look, stick to your usual size. For a less voluminous fit, consider sizing down one size.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Color is fading unevenly.
This is a characteristic of the garment-dyeing process. For more uniform aging, ensure consistent washing and drying methods. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure when drying.
Shrinkage after washing.
While designed for durability, excessive heat can cause shrinkage. Always follow the cold wash and low/hang dry instructions. If some shrinkage occurs, gentle stretching of the fabric while damp may help.
