Carhartt WIP Nelson Waffle T-Shirt

The Carhartt WIP Nelson Waffle T-Shirt in Gentle Green (Garment Dyed) offers a highly tactile, heavyweight alternative to jersey basics, utilising a 100% cotton waffle knit for added structure. Through a specialised garment-dyeing process, the shirt achieves a soft, comfortable handle and a complex green tone that features subtle variations throughout. The modern, relaxed cut makes it an ideal standalone piece for those seeking a durable and visually interesting summer layer.

Key Features

• Constructed from a thick, textured cotton fabric that provides a structured drape and enhanced breathability through its grid-like weave
• The t-shirt is dyed after it is sewn, resulting in a softer handfeel and a rich, multi-dimensional colour finish
• Designed with a spacious body and dropped shoulders to provide a contemporary, boxy aesthetic and maximum comfort
• Detailed with the iconic Carhartt WIP chest label, which is dyed along with the garment for a subtle, monochromatic look
• Made entirely from natural fibres to ensure superior moisture management and comfort against the skin
• Finished with a sturdy ribbed collar that holds its shape, providing a clean neckline that complements the heavy fabric
• The waffle structure creates a sophisticated interplay of light and shadow, elevating it beyond a basic plain t-shirt

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This t-shirt is intentionally cut with a wider profile and roomier sleeves for a relaxed, non-restrictive drape
• Most users find their usual size delivers the intended modern, boxy silhouette
• We recommend staying with your standard size to achieve the designer's intended fit

Washing & Care Instructions

• Use a delicate cycle at 30 degrees to preserve the dye and the integrity of the waffle knit
• To prevent the sun from fading the complex garment-dyed tones, always hang the t-shirt to air dry in a shaded area
• Avoid the high heat of a tumble dryer, as this can cause the waffle fabric to shrink and lose its unique texture
• f necessary, use a cool iron (up to 110°C) on the reverse side to protect the dyed finish and the chest label

Carhartt WIP Nelson Waffle T-Shirt - Our FAQs

1. How does waffle fabric feel compared to regular jersey?
   It is much thicker and has a three-dimensional grid texture. This makes the shirt feel more substantial and less likely to cling to the body in humid weather.

2. Will the colour stay the same?
   Because it is garment-dyed, you may notice very slight tonal variations. With proper care, the colour will remain rich, though it is designed to develop a unique character as it ages.

3. Is the loose fit wide?
   Yes, it is designed to be boxy. The extra width in the chest and shoulders creates a contemporary streetwear shape that allows for excellent airflow.

4. Why is the label the same colour as the shirt?
   This is a signature of the Nelson range; the label is sewn on before the dyeing process, so it absorbs the pigment for a clean, tonal branding effect.
