The Carhartt WIP Chase Zip Hoodie in Ash Heather Gold is a foundational piece that addresses the need for a dependable, heavyweight layer suitable for year-round wear. Part of the renowned Chase Program, this garment solves the problem of flimsy casual wear by using a premium 13 oz cotton and polyester blend that holds its shape and provides significant warmth. The brushed fleece interior offers a soft feel against the skin, making it an ideal choice for those who require both comfort and durability. With its raglan sleeve construction and subtle branding, it delivers a clean, functional aesthetic that works across various environments without being overly bulky.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This hoodie features a regular fit, offering a balanced silhouette that is comfortable for most body types.
• It generally fits true to size, providing enough room for a base layer or t-shirt underneath.
• Here at the store we recommend sizing up if you prefer a more relaxed, oversized look or if you plan on layering heavily.
• The raglan sleeve design is particularly beneficial for movement, as it removes the traditional shoulder seam and provides a smoother drape.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cold or 30 degree cycle to preserve the fabric density.
• Wash the garment inside out to protect the Ash Heather finish and the embroidery.
• Do not use a tumble dryer, instead, allow the hoodie to air dry naturally to avoid shrinkage.
• If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting and avoid direct contact with the embroidered logo.

Our Carhartt WIP Chase Zip Hoodie FAQs

1. Is this hoodie significantly warmer than a standard sweatshirt? Yes, the 13 oz fabric weight and brushed fleece backing make this much heavier and warmer than typical high-street alternatives.

2. Does the zip feel sturdy or will it snag? The hoodie uses a high-quality metal zip with a branded puller designed for smooth operation and long-term use.

3. Will the Ash Heather colour change after several washes? The heathered fabric is highly resistant to fading, though we recommend following the care instructions to maintain the original tone.

4. Is the hood deep enough to provide actual weather protection? The hood is generously cut and fully adjustable, providing ample coverage even when worn over a hat or beanie.
