Human Made Athletic T-Shirt Navy – a shirt that will truly be worn.

In the process of creating clothes, the thought is straightforward – a T-shirt ought to feel great, be washable without losing shape, and match the things you already have. The concept behind the Human Made Athletic T-Shirt Navy is just that. No loud design. The details are just where they need to be.

Toy Design: Fit and Fabric—Trim, Not Tight

Human Made tees don’t follow the boxy streetwear cut. The Athletic T-Shirt is close to the body but not sloppy and has shoulders that droop slightly. The fabric is slightly shiny and smooth to the touch, compared to the typical cotton T-shirt. The collar is fitted with durable ribbing so that it will not stretch after a couple of washes. This is true if you’ve ever worn a Human Made t シャツ.

If you are one of the regular Uniqlo sizes, take the same size here. Want a looser look? Go up one. M is a good size for people of about 170cm height and L offers a more relaxed, comfortable fit.

What is the point of wearing navy if you don’t know how?

The navy is a simple colour. Not as hard as black, more forgiving than white. It fits jeans, chinos and even dress trousers. Here are some of the things our customers assemble in our stores in Japan:

Looks put together with Human Made Chino Pants but from a different family of color, different depth.Looks put together with Human Made Chino Pants but different family of color, different depth.

For a quick, easy layering look, opt for a Human Made Jacket that has an open collar and hem.

For women: size-up, tuck the hem of your pants, and it’s okay.

These pants go with it most of the time when people leave the store, the Human Made Straight Denim Pants or Easy Pants. Human Made Fukuoka staff believe that navy tee + raw denim is the most popular combination.

When cleaning and drying, remember two things:

First, turn it inside out, and then don’t put it in the dryer.

The fabric is washed in the garments and is slightly worn in. Inside out washing will keep the surface intact and reduce friction. Mild detergent and cold or warm water. For similar pieces, Human Made suggests hand washing at less than 40°C, for most it will be OK to have a gentle machine cycle in a laundry bag.

Dry on a wide shirt rack or on a flat rack. A thin hanger will show bumps at the shoulders when hanging a wet tee. Don’t place it in direct sunlight – shade and air circulation will suffice. If possible, don’t use a dryer when high heat causes shrinkage of cotton and warp in the collar.

Another note: navy will bleed dye into a few initial washings. Do wash alone or with dark colors – never with whites the first time.

A Bit About Human Made

NIGO began looking into human-made in 2010 and created Human Made. The brand isn’t the typical fast fashion that’s produced in big volumes, but rather has a touch of the Japanese tradition: careful fabrics, non-hurried details, nothing showing off. The Heart Logo is the signature but items such as this Athletic T-Shirt without any fat logo are the ones that the regular customers gravitate towards most.

It’s available on the Human Made Jp website and the direct stores in Japan. Human Made 新着アイテム updates each season, but this navy tee is a basic — it doesn’t really go out of season. It is worth noting that Human Hope is but a collaboration line by Human Made with BTS’ j-hope, which is a bit livelier and different from the main basics.

FAQ

Is the navy Human Made Athletic T-Shirt small?

No. It falls in between in size to Supreme style streetwear and close to Uniqlo. Use a common size that you usually use for your Japanese brand. Make sure to size up for a more relaxed fit.

May use for washing machines?

Yes — soft cycling, outwards on the inside, in a laundry bag. No bleach, no dryer. Hand washing is safer, but not required all the time.

Will the navy fade?

There is a small amount of excess dye that comes out in the first 2-3 washes — this is normal. Wash it alone or with a wash with darks and the color will settle. It is washed inside out and dried in the shade for its longevity.

Can women wear it?

Yes. It’s a unisex cut. Women tend to size down to get a fit or the same size to get an oversize fit. It is easy to wear this outfit with a Human Made メイド キャップ.

Does it match the size of Human Made hoodies?

They’re both trimmed and the reasoning is the same. However, the fabric of a hoodie is thicker and thus feels tighter. Anyone who is an L size should try XL size in this tee, unless you prefer it to be snug.

What is the best place to purchase?

The Human Made Jp website itself, direct stores, such as Human Made Fukuoka, or authorized stores. There are a lot of fake human made pants and tees — check the prices because they could be too low.

Final Thoughts

The Human Made Athletic T-Shirt Navy is not looking to become the sexiest item in your wardrobe. It’s its attempt to be the go-to snack. It fits well, is better than its price, and navy is just about any color you already have. Wash it right, don’t put it in the dryer, and it will last for years in rotation. It’s really what a simple job should be, and that’s why Human Made has continued with this one.
