What is the Carhartt WIP watch hat?

The Carhartt WIP watch hat, also known as the acrylic watch hat, stands as a testament to the brand's dedication to quality and functionality. Crafted from warm acrylic fabric, this hat is a staple piece within the Carhartt WIP collection. The stretchy rib knit ensures a comfortable fit, making it suitable for everyone. A woven Carhartt WIP label on the front adds a touch of authenticity and style, distinguishing it from other hats in the market.

How do you wear a Carhartt WIP watch hat?

Wearing the Carhartt WIP watch hat is all about embracing its practical design and snug fit. Typically, these hats are large enough to cover your forehead to your neck, providing ample warmth and coverage. They are designed to fit closely to the head, ensuring that your ears are completely covered, which is especially useful during colder months. Despite their practical design, Carhartt WIP hats also offer a stylish look, whether you're hitting the streets or the great outdoors. The versatility in its fit makes it a favoured choice among many.

Why is it called a watch hat?

The term "watch hat" has historical roots tied to the US Navy during World War II. Sailors were issued these hats as part of their standard gear, especially for those on "watch duty." The purpose was to keep them warm while they remained vigilant, looking out for enemy ships or submarines. The name "watch hat" thus evolved from this critical role in naval operations. Today, the Carhartt WIP watch hat continues to embody this legacy of functionality and reliability, making it a favored choice for both practical and aesthetic reasons.

Can you wash a Carhartt hat?

Caring for your Carhartt hat is simple but requires a bit of attention to detail. Yes, you can wash a Carhartt hat, but it’s crucial to do it alone, without any other clothes. This precaution helps prevent the formation of "pills" or little fabric balls that can ruin the hat's appearance. Washing it on a gentle cycle ensures that the hat retains its shape and fabric integrity. By washing the hat by itself, you ensure it comes out perfectly clean and maintains its original quality, ready for another round of wear.

At Ragazzi, we appreciate the blend of functionality and style that Carhartt WIP brings to the table. Their hats, especially the iconic watch hat, are a perfect example of this blend, providing warmth, comfort, and a timeless look. Whether you're new to Carhartt WIP or a longtime fan, their latest collection of hats and beanies is worth exploring.
