Key Features

• Constructed from a dense, high-quality jersey that provides a structured drape and excellent durability without the fuzziness of a brushed interior.
• Treated with a specific laundry process to soften the fabric's handle and create a subtly faded, "Cozy Blue" vintage appearance.
• Cut with a looser, boxier torso and dropped shoulders, tapered slightly by the ribbed trims to create a voluminous yet controlled profile.
• Features a custom WIP III graphic on the chest, nodding to the brand’s heritage and creative evolution.
• Detailed with the iconic Carhartt "C" logo at the hem, a mark of authenticity and quality.
• The cuffs and hem are made from a 97% cotton and 3% elastane blend, ensuring the sweatshirt retains its shape and "balloon" silhouette over time.

At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• The primary choice for those who prefer the oversized, "short and wide" proportions characteristic of modern streetwear trends.
• Ideal for spring and autumn evenings, providing substantial warmth without the added heat of a fleece-lined interior.
• Perfect for those who love the look of archival sportswear but want the structural integrity of a brand-new, heavyweight garment.
• A great option for a relaxed, high-quality "uniform" that transitions easily from home to the city.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This sweatshirt is designed to sit wide on the shoulders and roomy through the chest. It is shorter in body length than a standard fit to emphasize the boxy look.
• Most users should take their standard size to achieve the intended balloon silhouette.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Use a delicate cycle to protect the stone-washed finish and the front graphic.
• We strongly recommend air-drying. Avoiding the tumble dryer prevents the cotton from shrinking and preserves the "balloon" shape.
• If ironing is necessary, do so on a low setting and avoid ironing directly over the graphic print.
• This helps prevent the graphic from cracking and maintains the unique "Cozy Blue" texture.

Carhartt WIP WIP III Sweatshirt - Our FAQs

1. What is a "Balloon Fit"?
   It’s a specific Carhartt WIP cut that is wider and more rounded than their "Regular" or "Loose" fits. It features dropped shoulders and a slight taper at the ribbed hem to create a unique, spherical silhouette.

2. Is it warm enough for winter?
   While it is a heavyweight jersey, it is "unbrushed," meaning it lacks the fuzzy fleece lining. It’s perfect for layering over a tee in mild weather or under a heavy coat in deep winter.

3. Will the graphic peel?
   Carhartt WIP uses high-quality screen-printing techniques. By washing the garment inside out and avoiding the tumble dryer, you can ensure the graphic remains pristine for years.

4. Is the stone wash consistent?
   Because of the heavy stone-wash process, each sweatshirt may have very slight tonal variations, giving every piece a unique, authentic character.
