Full details
The Carhartt WIP Padded Vest in brown is a versatile, functional layering piece designed for adults who prioritize durability and urban utility. Its sleeveless silhouette and pocketed front offer excellent freedom of movement and storage, making it perfect for transitional weather or as an extra layer during colder months. While it provides substantial warmth and rugged style, potential buyers should note that the size L fit is tailored for a standard, relaxed look that may feel bulky if layered under very slim-fit jackets.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors to prevent fading.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to keep the padding lofted; avoid high-heat tumble drying as it may compromise the synthetic fill.
- Storage: Hang the vest on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and ensure the padding remains evenly distributed.
