Human Made Oxford Striped BD Shirt Orange

This shirt is a button down oxford that’s different. The orange stripe is a subtle yet effective feature that makes it stand out without being obtrusive. So, if you’ve been considering Human Made shirts and you are wondering if this is something you can incorporate into your rotation, here is the “how-to” portion of the conversation: fabric, fit, care, and wearing it without thinking.

This piece is based on a shape that is known to human-made Japan, the oxford button-down collar, whereupon they added the elements that human-made Japan is renowned for. There’s a heart logo patch on the left chest. Tonal embroidery is on the front placket and left sleeve. The buttons look like faux-shell and the heart buttons are added to the cuffs. There isn’t a sound in it. It feels considered.

Fabric and Fit

The body is made with 100% cotton oxford. That matters. Oxford cloth is durable enough that it will hold its form with repeated use, it breathes easily in humid conditions, and will get softer with use, but not flimsy. The striped variant also comes with a wrinkle-resistant fabric which is slightly better than plain oxford so if you wear it all day in Japan’s climate.

Sizes are XS to 2XL. The size L is 77cm long, 62.5cm broad and 64cm long sleeve. The model who caught the 184cm is wearing an L . If you are not sure of the size to go for, go for the relaxed side. If you prefer it to fit closer to your body, try a smaller size, but be careful, as Oxfords do not stretch so please check the shoulder size first.

How to Wear It

Orange stripes are somewhat tricky. They aren’t. Use this shirt as a “color accent” in a basic wardrobe.

Say what they want to say with Human Made デニム (denim). No competing with orange: indigo or faded blue jeans ground it. Cuffs must be rolled once only. Skip the tie.

Choose it with Human Made パンツ in Chino or wide-fit cotton for a cleaner look. To keep things cool, try olive, navy, or stone. The shirt is already a textured item, with the embroidery and heart patch, so there’s no need to add much else.

A navy or black Human Made Jacket can be worn over a layered look. Unbutton the top of the shirt and leave the collar open. If it’s a colder day, you can wear a ヒューマン-メイド-パーカー underneath, but with the hoodie — graphics will go against the stripes.

Accessories stay simple. A solid color A ヒューマン メイド キャップ completes the outfit. Here, a Human Made t シャツ will not be required to be worn on top of the overskirt、 as the oxford is heavy enough.

Care: Keep It Looking Right

Easy to sew cotton oxford, not so easy to treat roughly the embroidery and patch.

Wash inside out in cold water and gentle cycle. Skip bleach entirely. When washing by hand, add detergent to water and do not allow the shirt to soak as the stripes may bleed. Separate wash it the first few times, particularly the orange one.

Do not tumble dry. The heat will make the cotton contract and warp the collar. Air dry on a hanger while moist, using fingers to mold the collar, in the shade. Orange fades very quickly in direct sunlight.

Iron on low, as necessary. DO NOT press directly on the embroidery or the heart patch – place a thin cloth between the iron and the embroidery/heart patch. High heat is not a friend of the faux-shell buttons either.

How does this piece fit into the collection?

Along with the Human Made 新着アイテム, this shirt is part of the rotation of shirts that includes Human Made t シャツ, ヒューマンメイドショーツ, and seasonal items. While the denim jackets and graphics were added by the Human Hope collaboration with j-hope, the oxford has been a quieter staple. Near Human Made Fukuoka or via Human Made Japan’s ecommerce, make sure to check availability early as striped oxfords in colorways other than blue fast out of the water.

Final Thoughts

The Orange Human Made Oxford Striped shirt isn’t here to be the loudest in your wardrobe. A characterful but also simple oxford that will do many days in a week. The cotton lasts for long, details remain light on the light, and the caring process is short once you realize it. If you already have a shirt or shorts in the style ヒューマンメイド that you like to wear, this shirt will be very easy to put on. As a newcomer to the Human Made Japan, it’s a good starting point that isn’t quite as graphic full as a Human Made t シャツ and more functional than a statement jacket. Purchase it if you are looking for a stripe that will go with denim and chinos. If you only wear neutrals and never turn to color, then skip it. It deserves its spot for everyone who isn’t on either end.
