Carhartt WIP Gareth Shirt

The Carhartt WIP Gareth Shirt in Velvet Green is a sophisticated, short-sleeve staple that balances archival utility with a modern, relaxed streetwear profile. The lightweight cotton fabric is garment-washed for a softened handle and a subtly lived-in aesthetic, ensuring a comfortable and structured drape. Featuring a classic bowling collar and a rich, saturated tone, it offers the ease of a loose fit and the clean, functional lines of traditional workwear.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This shirt features a loose fit, offering a generous cut through the chest and shoulders for a relaxed, boxy drape.
• The lightweight cotton provides a crisp yet soft drape that holds its shape significantly better than standard jersey.
• The "Velvet Green" colourway is a deep, sophisticated hue that bridges the gap between classic forest green and modern olive.
• 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 dark colours to preserve the Velvet Green pigment.
• Do not tumble dry; hang the shirt to dry naturally to maintain the cotton fibres and prevent potential shrinkage.
• Iron at a maximum temperature of 110°C on the reverse side to keep the bowling collar looking sharp.
• Wash the garment inside out to protect the embroidered ‘C’ Logo and the garment-washed surface from abrasion.
• Avoid the use of harsh detergents or bleach that could compromise the softness of the 100% cotton fabric.

Our Gareth Shirt FAQs

1. What is a "bowling collar"?
   It is a revere or lapel collar designed to lie flat against the collarbone, creating a V-neck opening that is both stylish and cooling.

2. How does the "garment-wash" affect the shirt?
   It removes the stiffness associated with new cotton, giving the shirt a soft, comfortable feel and preventing significant post-purchase shrinkage.

3. Are the chest pockets functional?
   Yes, both pockets are fully accessible and deep enough to store daily essentials like sunglasses or a small notepad.

4. Is the fit oversized?
   It is a "loose fit," which is roomier than a regular fit. If you prefer a more tailored look, you may wish to consider sizing down.
