Carhartt WIP Size Guide

Carhartt WIP (Work In Progress) brings American workwear heritage to life through relaxed cuts designed for comfort and movement. Unlike fitted technical mountain styles, Carhartt WIP embraces generous proportions and effortless drape: straight or slightly baggy trousers, oversized hoodies, roomy t-shirts. This guide gives you all the flat-lay measurements, category by category, so you can choose your size with confidence.

If you're torn between two sizes, remember the Carhartt WIP spirit: the brand commits to a laid-back fit. On pieces already designed loose, sizing down brings you closer to a more classic silhouette; sticking with your usual size keeps the original streetwear vibe the brand intended.

Women's Trousers

Brandon Pant

Straight cut, mid-rise. Measurements below are taken flat, garment laid on a table.

Tip: the Brandon Pant runs true to size. If you're between two sizes, go up one for that relaxed workwear vibe the brand champions.

Jane Pant

Fitted cut, mid-rise. The Jane Pant is Carhartt WIP's most structured women's piece, with a refined silhouette and a drape that follows your shape. Measurements below are taken flat, garment laid on a table.

Tip: the Jane Pant runs true to size. It's the most fitted cut in the women's Carhartt WIP range, designed for a refined feminine drape. If you prefer a looser fit, size up.

Men's Trousers

Klondike Pant

Straight relaxed cut, generous rise. Measurements are taken flat.

Tip: the Klondike Pant delivers the classic Carhartt WIP workwear spirit. Want an even roomier fit? Size up.

London Pant

Slim cut, designed for a more contemporary and fitted aesthetic.

Tip: the London Pant is the slimmest cut in the range. Perfect for a lean silhouette or if you're after that cigarette jean look.

Newel Pant

Straight cut, low rise, slightly shorter length. Classic style, revisited.

Tip: the Newel Pant nails that contemporary vibe with a low rise. The shorter length means no need to roll—wear it straight from the rack.

Hoodies & Sweatshirts

Carhartt WIP Hoodies Men

Cut oversized. Roomy across shoulders, sleeves, and down the back.

Tip: if you like a fitted look, size down. If you want that full oversized vibe, go with your usual size.

Carhartt WIP Hoodies Women

Cut oversized, designed for a roomy and comfortable drape.

Tip: women's hoodies run notably oversized compared to standard sizing. For a sleeker look, size down.

T-Shirts

S/S Chase T-Shirt Men

Classic cut, slightly roomy across the chest and back.

Tip: Carhartt WIP t-shirts run slightly large. If you like them close to the body, size down.

S/S Chase T-Shirt Women

Classic cut, slightly roomy but less generous than the hoodies.

Tip: women's t-shirts offer a closer fit than hoodies. Go with your usual size for a classic, tailored look.
