The Carhartt WIP Leavel Shirt in Leavel Stripe/Blue River/Wax is a lightweight and airy choice for high-summer conditions, utilising a textured polycotton seersucker fabric. This puckered material is specifically designed to sit slightly away from the skin to encourage airflow and keep the wearer cool. With a relaxed lapel collar and a garment-washed finish, it delivers a sophisticated, vacation-inspired look that remains grounded in the brand’s rugged manufacturing DNA.

Carhartt WIP Leavel Shirt Key Features

• Equipped with a classic lapel collar (revere style) for a modern, relaxed streetwear profile.
• Includes a functional chest pocket finished with the iconic Carhartt WIP woven Square Label for an authentic signature.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This shirt features a loose fit, offering a generous cut through the body and sleeves for a contemporary, boxy appearance.
• The polycotton seersucker provides a crisp, textured drape that resists clinging to the body even in high humidity.
• The lapel collar is designed to be worn open, enhancing the shirt's casual, vacation-ready aesthetic.
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size to benefit from the intended relaxed and comfortable profile.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a delicate cycle up to 30°C with similar light colours.
• Do not tumble dry; hang the shirt to dry naturally, which is highly efficient due to the lightweight polycotton build.
• Iron at a maximum temperature of 110°C on the reverse side if necessary, though seersucker is designed to be worn with its natural puckered texture.
• Avoid the use of bleach or harsh detergents that could damage the delicate 70/30 fabric blend.
• Wash the garment inside out to protect the woven Square Label and the textured surface from abrasion.

Our Leavel Shirt FAQs

1. Does seersucker need ironing?
   One of the best benefits of seersucker is that it is naturally crease-resistant and looks great with its original puckered texture, making it perfect for packing in a suitcase.

2. What is the benefit of the polyester blend?
   Adding 30% polyester helps the shirt dry faster and maintain its structural integrity better than a 100% cotton equivalent.

3. Is the "Blue River" colour very bright?
   It is a refined, soft blue that pairs subtly with the "Wax" (off-white) stripes for a balanced, classic look.

4. How loose is the "loose fit"?
   It is designed to be roomy. If you are between sizes or prefer a more tailored look, you may wish to consider sizing down.
