Human Made Charcoal Dry Alls Tsuriami Sweatshirt: Fit, Fabric, Care and Styling Guide

If you’re considering purchasing a Human Made Charcoal Dry Alls Sweatshirt, here are a few things you should know.

The Tsuriami Sweatshirt is a charcoal grey sweatshirt that you have likely seen recently if you’ve been browsing Human Made sweatshirts. Not manufactured of the conventional fleece. It’s knitted from traditional Japanese fabric technique known as Tsuriami, which creates a softer and more durable fabric. It features the same regular design, and the front and back are printed with flocks, a felt patch with the logo at the hem and the old style V-stitch inserted at the neck. The color is Charcoal which is more of a neutral shade than true black, and will match nearly any color.

Fabric and Fit

It is cotton on the outside and brushed on the inside, and does not weigh down. It is very slow knitting and the fabric is not as tight as the regular sweatshirts, so it is also softer and will not stiffen over time. The fit on the cut is the standard Human Made: Not too big, not too small, slightly extended sleeve ribbing, not too much, and a vintage athletic shape. Sizes run S to XL. Size S is approximately 63cm long and 52cm wide; XL is approximately 72cm long and 61cm wide. These are real measurements and may slightly vary from the official size chart. Usually L will be a good fit for someone who normally wears a size L in a Human Made t シャツ.

Washing and Care

It is the flocked prints that need protection. According to the brand itself, friction when worn or washed can cause shedding or pill. It’s a property of the material, it’s not a defect. Inside out, wash on a gentle cycle at a max of 40C, no bleach, no dry cleaning. The legend has it that someone once washed a Human Made printed tee in bicarbonate soda and the print faded, so although it’s unknown whether that’s a rule, a mild neutral detergent is definitely safe.

How to Dry It

Skip the dryer. The ribbed cuffs and hem will lose shape and the loop wheel cotton will shrink when it gets hot. Wash and squeeze out water, but do not wring, then spread out on a towel to dry in the shade. When drying a sweatshirt, it is better to use a flat dryer, as hanging will strain the shoulder seams of the sweatshirt. Charcoal is good at concealing dirt, but will fade the color over time.

How to Style It

The sweatshirt already has prints front and back, so there’s a lot going on visually just on that sweatshirt. When worn over a Human Made Jacket, use a plain or simple jacket, and let the sweatshirt do the talking. Wide leg jeans or work pants are a good choice below, paired with any canvas sneaker. This is one of the choices when you are searching for Human Made 新着アイテム to wear every day without being overly delicate about it. Human Made パンツ tend to run loose, and that’s what this is.

About the Brand

The American vintage and Japanese production are combined into human Made, founded by NIGO. The Human Made t シャツ and Human Made キャップ are more than likely the first places you will find them, but the sweatshirt collection is where the brand’s dedication to fabric is most apparent. It’s a regular release so not hard to find and limited colors are seen in Human Made Fukuoka and other Japanese stores. Some pieces feature a slogan theme, human hope, which this one does not feature. It’s an easy-of-use, quality product.

FAQ

Will this sweater shrink?

The loop wheel cotton is washed and the brand states that each piece may be slightly different in size and texture after washing. Either cold washing or without a dryer – very little shrinkage. The problem is high heat drying.

Will the flocked print come off after a few washes?

Because of friction and washing, flocking tends to shed away, the brand says. They will last much longer if they are washed inside out, and not cleaned with a scrubber to remove the print, and if they are not tumble dried. This will not last forever, and over time, it can be expected to increase naturally.

Which color should I go for: charcoal or black?

Charcoal is more subdued and will stand out more for darker pants. For those who have a considerable number of Human Made デニム, charcoal won’t stand out from indigo. Black is more versatile, but less interesting.

Does this fit on women or men?

The majority of Human Made sweatshirts are gender neutral. As a reference, a 165cm model corresponds to S and an 180cm model corresponds to L for size, as per how loose you want it to fit.

Are there any differences between buying in Japan and abroad?

It is still the same product, it is a Japanese product. There is no difference between human made official channels and authorized retailers in stock, only in price and shipping. Japanese retail is about ¥35,200, but more expensive overseas retailers charge because of import costs.

Final Thoughts

The Charcoal Dry Alls Tsuriami Sweatshirt is not up to a big show. The truth of the sweatshirt is that it’s a well-constructed loop wheel sweatshirt with prints that requires some TLC. This is not for someone who wants something to put in the dryer without getting a second thought. If you want it to be soft and still retain its shape over the years, it is worth the effort. Purchase your regular Human Made size and wash it out and then dry it flat and it will work its magic. This is a go-to item for anyone who prefers to create a Human Made wardrobe with everyday items over hype drops.
