FAQs about the Carhartt WIP Nelson Zip Hoodie 🤖

Q: How does the Nelson Zip Hoodie fit? A: The Zip Hoodie has a very loose "balloon fit". If you love the extreme oversized look, choose your usual size. For a more fitted look, we recommend ordering one size smaller.

Q: What's the difference between the Nelson Zip Hoodie and a regular hoodie? A: The Nelson Zip Hoodie is significantly heavier and more robustly constructed. Due to the lack of a lining and the use of heavy sweatshirt fabric, it functions more like a lightweight jacket. Additionally, the cut is more boxy than classic models like the Chase Hoodie.

Q: Will the color fade after washing? A: Due to the garment-dyed process, the jacket will develop a beautiful, unique patina over time. We recommend washing it inside out in cold water to best preserve the look of the pigment print and dyeing.
