What exactly is French Terry, and how does it feel compared to a standard Carhartt fleece hoodie?
Unlike traditional fleece hoodies that have a fuzzy, brushed interior, French Terry features a smooth jersey face on the outside and a matrix of soft, uncut yarn loops on the inside. This loopback texture is highly breathable, wicks away moisture more efficiently, and keeps you comfortable without trapping excessive body heat.
Does the "Relaxed Fit" cut run similar to Carhartt's classic "Loose Fit" hoodies?
No. Carhartt’s Relaxed Fit is designed to sit closer to the body than their traditional, oversized Loose Fit items. It still provides plenty of room through the chest and shoulders for manual work, but it offers a truer-to-size look and feel that doesn't require sizing down.
