Distinctive Vintage Character via Garment Dyeing

What sets these Carhartt WIP sweatshirts apart is their specialized garment-dyeing process. The crewneck is dyed after assembly, creating a subtly faded wash with unique tonal variations along the heavy seams. The "Clay Blue" colorway—a dusty, muted shade of blue—offers a rich, lived-in feel that pairs effortlessly with monochromatic or contrasting streetwear fits.

Fit Guide & Size Recommendation

• Sizing & Cut: Cut in Carhartt’s distinct Balloon Fit, featuring a noticeably boxy, oversized body with dropped shoulders.
• Size Recommendation: Go with your usual size to achieve the intended voluminous, oversized silhouette. If you prefer a more tailored or standard fit, we recommend ordering one size down.
• Shape Retention: Heavyweight ribbed cuffs and hem gather the fabric slightly to preserve its structured, boxy shape.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I try on the Nelson Crewneck at your Berlin store?

Yes, you can drop by our STICKABUSH store at Gräfestraße 84, 10967 Berlin-Kreuzberg (Gräfekiez) to try on the Nelson Crewneck and explore the wider world of Carhartt WIP.

What makes the Nelson Crewneck different from standard Carhartt sweatshirts?

The Nelson Crewneck uses a much heavier 12.3 oz unbrushed cotton jersey, features an exaggerated boxy Balloon Fit, and receives a garment-dye treatment for an authentic vintage finish.

Is the interior brushed or unbrushed?

It is unbrushed loopback cotton. This classic French terry interior maintains structural integrity and provides comfortable breathability without overheating.

Will the sweatshirt shrink in the wash?

Because the crewneck undergoes garment dyeing and pre-washing during production, shrinkage is minimal. We recommend washing it inside out at 30°C to preserve the pigment wash over time.
