Why choose a Carhartt WIP fleece?

American workwear heritage with a streetwear twist

Since 1889, Carhartt has been creating robust wardrobes, built for work and made to last. With Carhartt WIP, its European streetwear branch, this heritage is reimagined into urban pieces with a clean style and easy-to-wear feel, keeping the brand's utilitarian DNA in a contemporary silhouette. The Carhartt fleece continues this tradition: a warm, understated layer, instantly recognisable, designed to accompany you day-to-day in the city or on a casual outing, for both men and women.

Polyester fleece and taffeta lining: warmth and lasting finishes

The most common range is made from 100% polyester fleece, chosen for its soft feel and ability to retain warmth. On key models, the body is lined with nylon taffeta, a finish that enhances comfort and durability. Details reflect the Carhartt WIP spirit: zipped side pockets, chest pocket with embroidered logo, clean lines and easy-to-match colours, from black to khaki, brown, blue or camouflage print.

Some fleeces even feature a hood, perfect for protection on chilly winter days.

How to wear and care for your Carhartt fleece?

On its own or layered under a jacket

Worn alone, the Carhartt fleece gives a direct, graphic look with a controlled volume. Layered, it slips easily under a jacket, especially in the sleeveless version, to add warmth without bulk. Pieces from the Carhartt Chase selection naturally fit this minimalist and functional style, perfect for an urban sport look.

Low temperature wash to preserve the fleece

Washing at a low temperature helps maintain the fleece's appearance and the quality of the finishes. By keeping a simple care routine, the material stays soft and holds its shape season after season. Positive customer feedback often highlights the durability of Carhartt products, whether t-shirts or even classic collar shirts.
