Three understated signatures: a gold C, a script name and a pocket.
Almost every Carhartt WIP sweatshirt and T-shirt we carry is built around one of three details: the embroidered C of the Chase line, the American Script embroidery and the pocket with woven label of the Pocket tee. Here is how they differ, how each one fits and what we have at ECRU.
In short
Chase is the small C embroidered in gold: on the chest of the T-shirts and on the left sleeve of the sweatshirts. American Script is the brand name embroidered in script on the chest. Pocket is the T-shirt with a chest pocket and woven label.
The fit depends on the line: regular for the Pocket and the Chase sweatshirts, loose for the Chase and American Script T-shirts, and oversized for the OG Loose Pocket.
01 · The signatures
Three logos, three characters
Chase
The gold C
A C embroidered in gold thread. On the T-shirts it sits on the chest; on the Chase sweatshirts and hoodies, on the left sleeve. It also appears on the ankle of the Chase socks.
Script
American Script
The brand name embroidered in script lettering on the chest; in two tones on the T-shirts.
The pocket
Chest pocket with the Carhartt WIP woven label. On the OG Loose Pocket Black, the Square Label is black, tone on tone.
02 · At ECRU
Sweatshirts and hoodies
Crew neck, hoodie and zip hoodie. The Chase pieces have a regular fit, brushed fleece inside and raglan sleeves; the Hooded Vista is garment dyed with a balloon fit.
03 · At ECRU
T-shirts
The Pocket in seven colours, plus the Chase and the American Script. The OG Loose Pocket has the roomiest fit.
04 · Sizing
Regular, loose or oversized
They do not all fit the same. The Pocket and the Chase sweatshirts have a regular fit: straight, neither tight nor roomy. The Chase and American Script T-shirts are loose, with more room in the body and sleeves. The OG Loose Pocket is oversized, with a wider body, shoulders and sleeves, and the Hooded Vista has a balloon fit with dropped shoulders.
For reference, the models on the product pages are between 182 and 186 cm tall and wear an M. For care, follow the label: the Pocket tees and the Chase line specify washing at 30 °C on a delicate cycle with no tumble drying.
To complete the look
Over and under
A Chase sweatshirt works as a mid-layer under a Detroit Jacket. For the bottom half, choose a fit in our Carhartt WIP trousers guide. And to finish, the Chase socks carry the same embroidered C on the ankle.
