Human Made New Bear Graphic T-Shirt White: A Plain White Tee Done Properly

Human Made clothes are made in a particular manner. No chasing trends. Don’t “pile” design on top of design. This has always been NIGO’s concept: a piece must function as clothes first, and look good second. The Human Made New Bear Graphic T-Shirt White is an outcome of that thinking. It’s white. It is embellished with a bear. It’s cotton. It’s made in Japan.

There’s nothing loud about this tee. Which is why it remains in the Human Made Japan lineup.

What it actually is

Fabric is 100% cotton, but not even the even kind. It’s slub cotton, it is a kind of cotton yarn that has a natural texture, with thicker and thinner parts. Does not feel slippery. It dries quickly and is somewhat like old cotton cloth.

The fit is tubular, built by Human Made. This includes no side seams. The body is knitted in one continuous round. No rubbing on the ribs and no curling up after washing! This collar is double-stitched, which ensures that it maintains its shape.

Made in Japan. That’s no embellishment in Human Made’s world. This is the actual production level.

The bear and the white

One of Human Made’s signature pieces is the bear. Bear pieces are closely monitored on the resale market. With a white base, you can print almost anything without worry, as the print will not get mixed with other colors when you’re creating an outfit.

White comes with a price though. It shows everything.

How to rock it without going overboard

This tee can be paired with a A ヒューマンメイド メイト キャップ or any other casual cap. Jeans, cargo pants, shorts – all permissible. The purpose of wearing a white tee is to showcase your style. It is not necessary to organize around it.

Top it off with a Human Made Jacket, a work or coach jacket and let the bear show half way. Serve when cold and remove when not in use. The tee is in a free standing position.

When choosing a color for ヒューマンメイド シャツ or ヒューマンメイド パンツ to go with it, the color should be muted. The white is already talking.

Washing and care

Shut your eyes and listen to the short version.

Washing: Cold water. Gentle cycle. Inside out, bear faces inwards. No bleach. Don’t let it soak. Avoid colour draining baths to wash it.

Drying: AVOID Dryer. The one enemy of a white cotton tee is hot. It reduces the size of the shirt and damages the prints. Hang in a shaded area, allowing air circulation. No direct sun.

Ironing: When ironing, place a cloth between the iron and the print. Do not apply pressure to the image when making the print.

The notes: These shirts are washed in the factory; therefore, sizing and feel vary slightly from piece to piece. It’s not a fault. However, clean it with a little care and it will last longer!

One last thing

Human Made isn’t cheap. If a white tee is the same price as this tee, then you should be aware of what you’re purchasing. You are paying for the fabric, Japanese construction and a graphic that doesn’t have to scream. White will age. It’ll pick up marks. However, it is a shirt when worn with care and washed properly, not the shirt you’re afraid to touch in the closet.

FAQ

Is this tee too large or too small?

Approximately the size, possibly a bit laid back. Take your normal size. If you want it to be close to the body then size down.

Is the white see-through?

There’s always a little bit of cotton white. Simply use caution with dark underwear.

Which side of the sheet is the bear on?

It varies by batch. Some are on the front, some on the back. Look at the pictures of the product before ordering.

Final Thoughts

One of the most difficult tee-shirts to get right is the white graphic tee. It’s too simple, and it vanishes. Too loud and I can’t wear anything. The Human Made New Bear Graphic T-Shirt White is in the middle. The cotton is textured. The cut is solid. If you look, you’ll see the bear, but it won’t take over the outfit.That’s exactly what Human Made is all about. Appropriate clothing first. It’s hard to wear, it needs to be washed correctly and it will rotate much longer than anything else in your drawer.
