Carhartt WIP Short Watch Hat

The Carhartt WIP Short Watch Hat in Dark Scarab offers a modern, low profile update to a legendary cold weather accessory. Originally derived from classic military and maritime headwear, this beanie solves the problem of finding a reliable winter hat that provides excellent insulation without adding unwanted bulk above the ears. Crafted from a premium, tightly woven 100 percent acrylic yarn in a dense nine gauge knit, it delivers exceptional warmth, shape retention, and everyday resilience against chilly winds.

Key Features

• Constructed from high quality 100 percent acrylic yarn in a warm nine gauge knit.
• Features a shorter, shallower crown height for a contemporary, close fit to the head.
• Designed with an adjustable turn up cuff that allows you to subtly tweak the coverage.
• Finished with the iconic woven square Carhartt WIP label sewn onto the front centre of the cuff.
• Stretchable rib knit pattern that contours comfortably to your head shape without stretching out over time.

Ideal For

• Daily casual wear during autumn and winter city commutes.
• Skate sessions, outdoor workwear inspiration, and everyday street use.
• Individuals who prefer a clean, minimalist beanie silhouette without an oversized, slouchy crown.

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This headwear features a shortened fit that is designed to sit snugly just above or slightly over the top of the ears.
• Here at the store we recommend choosing this short version if you prefer a shallower fit than the standard, deeper Watch Hat profile.
• The highly elasticated rib knit construction means this item comes in a universal one size fits all format that gently expands to match your natural head size.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Hand wash in cool water or use a gentle machine cycle at 30 degrees to preserve the knit tension.
• Wash with similar dark colours and avoid using heavy fabric softeners which can relax the acrylic fibres.
• Do not tumble dry under any circumstances; lay the beanie flat on a clean towel to air dry naturally.
• Do not iron, bleach, or dry clean, keeping the woven brand label completely clear of direct treatments.

Carhartt WIP Short Watch Hat - Our FAQs

1. What is the difference between this and the standard Carhartt WIP Watch Hat? The Short Watch Hat features a shallower crown design, meaning it sits closer to the top of your head and does not leave excess fabric bunching at the top.
2. Will this beanie stretch out and lose its shape? No, the dense nine gauge acrylic knit is specifically engineered to expand comfortably when worn and snap back to its original shape afterward.
3. Is the fabric itchy against the forehead? Not at all, the premium acrylic yarn selected by the brand is incredibly soft to the touch, ensuring zero itchiness during extended wear.
4. Does the hat cover the ears entirely? Due to the shallow design profile, it is designed to sit either just at the top of the ears or partially over them, rather than pulling down fully past the earlobes.
5. Can I wash this product in a washing machine? Yes, on a cool, gentle cycle at 30 degrees. However, hand washing is always the safest method to maximise the lifespan of the knit structure.
