Human Made G.F.F.T Duck T-Shirt Black

When you’re considering this tee, you likely are familiar with the brand Human Made. But just in case: Human Made is a Japanese brand started by NIGO in 2010. Where it is from – American vintage work attire, but what it produces – clean, sharp and easy to wear these days.

Today, we’re reviewing the Human Made G.F.F.T Duck T-Shirt Black! Black base, “G.F.F.T.” text with it, and a duck graphic on the chest. The duck is a Human Made signature and no random drawing. The brand has never advertised the meaning of G F F T, but it appears on many items and has become synonymous with the brand.

Why This T-Shirt?

The G.F.F.T Duck T-Shirt falls in the middle of the Human Made range. It’s not a showy statement piece. It’s the kind of tee that you wear when you don’t like to wear it, but you feel like it looks good. The black colourway gives the duck graphic just a touch of contrast. Not too much.

Fabric and Fit

The tee is 100% cotton, made in Japan. Human Made t シャツ have a unique texture — the surface is not entirely flat. It has a slight uneven texture that is sometimes referred to as slab cotton. It adds more character to the cotton than a regular flat cotton, and it is breathable. Good for summer.

Fit is casual, not too loose. The shoulders are level and the body is slightly boxed. For people who are accustomed to slim tees, this will feel like they can finally breathe. The collar is double stitched with a binding that will last longer through repeated washings.

How to Wear It

The black duck tee is as easy as it can be. Mixes well with all.

Stylishly mix in washed jeans and canvas sneakers for everyday wear. Looking for a workwear cut? In addition, change the black pants for contrast to khaki or olive fatigue pants. Matching Tones and Silhouettes: When wearing Human Made Shorts and Human Made Denim together, ensure that the colors and designs are consistent. When the weather cools down, put a Human Made Jacket over it or under a long-sleeve shirt. A black t-shirt is a piece of clothing that can be worn underneath any other item.

Washing and Drying

The two bane’s of cotton tee’s are shrinkage and cracked prints.

Rinse this one inside out, cold water and gentle cycle. Cotton will shrink in hot water. Don’t scrub directly on the graphic. Print protection is accomplished by turning it inside out. Don’t use cleaners that contain bleach.

If possible, spread it out when drying. If it does need to be hung, hang it through the wide shoulder hanger from the bottom hem, not the collar. That’s where necks go stretched. No direct sun, shade and air will suffice. If possible, do not use a dryer. Cotton and prints don’t take the high heat well.

If wrinkled, iron on medium heat. Put a cloth between the iron and the graphic. Don’t press the iron directly onto the print.

FAQ

Does this tee run true to size?

Human Made t-shirts are cut Japanese style, but are wider than most Japanese brands. This medium will probably work for those who generally use a medium. Fit larger to give a more relaxed fit. If you want to compare it with some of the official size charts, a medium is about 48.5cm chest circumference and 66cm length.

Will the duck picture come off the dish?

Not as we usually would do. Human Made’s print is good. With proper care and handling (no hot water, abrasive scrubbing or the dryer), the graphic will hold up for many years.

Will the black fade?

Use only for the first washing, adding a small amount of salt to set the color. Then wash with other dark items.

What season is it good for?

Cotton tees are suitable for spring, summer and fall. It can also be used as a winter layer.

Where shall I get an authentic one?

There is Human Made’s official website and Japanese stores (including Human Made Fukuoka). Abroad, only purchase from approved retailers. If the price seems cheap, it’s likely not a legitimate offer.
