Human Made Raglan Tsuriami Sweatshirt Charcoal

In 2010, NIGO began the production of human made as a Japanese brand. The name is big, but the things the brand gets right and does again are simple: It brings good things back so that people today can wear them as well. From the very beginning, Human Made Japan has been doing this with every item they produce, whether it’s a Human Made tシャツ, a Human-made hoodie, a Human Made Jacket or a Human Made Denim, they all have the same attitude, which is to be worn for a long time.

In this article, we will be exploring the Human Made Raglan Tsuriami Sweatshirt Charcoal. Whether you are searching for something that you can wear for several winters to come or desire something that will last increasingly better with every wash, here’s what you need to know.

This Sweatshirt is actually a what?

Tsuriami, the Japanese word, means “tsuri-ami” which is an old loopwheel knitting technique. Machines operate at a slower speed. The fabric is thick, natural, and will conform to the body over time. Not many factories continue to employ this process today. Human Made’s never changed.

A sleeve is called Raglan. No standard seam at the shoulder; sleeve is seamed from the sleeve to the collar. What does that mean to you? More freedom of movement. Pull at shoulders when reaching for something or carrying a bag.

Charcoal is the color. Not dark gray, not light gray — but a dark grayish with a little color. Fits perfectly with jeans, khakis, and Human Made Pants.

Before you give it a try, here are a few things to know:

About sizing. This sweatshirt is standard size. Not too big, not too thin. However, it is washed and therefore there is a little difference in size and texture in each piece. Not a quality problem, it’s in the process! It is recommended to go up a size if you are looking for a looser fit.

This print will have a slight fade. Chest & back print is flocked. The surface may become slightly pilled or lifted with friction or after a few washes. This is normal. If you know what to expect, you won’t be shocked!

Don’t expect to bleed colours, but wash it alone on the first few washings. The Charcoal colour has a moderate stability, but when it comes to any dark cotton sweatshirt, do the wash the first time separately.

Washing, drying, and prolonging the life of a garment.

It’s not too difficult to care for this piece, but there are a few rules to follow.

Wash the back with cold water, turn it inside out. Printed on the front, the flip inside out reduces friction. Maintain the water temperature at less than 30°C. A mild machine wash is okay – no hand washing is required.

Skip the dryer. Cotton shrinks when heated and increases the print aging. Remove it, flatten it out and hang it in a cool, airy location. Try to avoid the direct sun when possible or dark colors will fade to grey with time.

Ironing? If absolutely necessary. If very wrinkled, use minimum heat, and a cloth between the iron and cloth. Do not apply direct pressure on the print.

While wearing it. Prevent long irritation by velcro or harsh backpack straps. Hard scraping is most likely to happen on floc prints. If small pills are there, do not try to pick them up with the fingers, use the fabric shaver lightly.

Maximize the benefits of your metal bed frame without sacrificing style.

This sweatshirt will have a vintage look, no need to put on too much effort.

Combine with Human Made Shorts and canvas sneakers for weekends, a stroll around Human Made Fukuoka, or for running errands. Enjoyable and easy to do.

When it cools off, wear a Human Made Jacket over it. Charcoal complements olive, navy and khaki.

If you’re looking for a complete outfit, opt for Human Made Pants or Human Made Denim in a matching shade. It’s a matter of not having either the top or the bottom too loose or the whole look is sloppy. When the top is loose, the bottom should be closer to the body. And the other way round.

Occasionally, accessories (such as hats, bags) that go well with this sweatshirt and complete the look will be featured in Human Made New Arrivals.

A Brief Reminder of Human Made

The brand has been consistently talking about Human Hope. An ambitious idea, but Human Made’s strategy is simple: preserve the manufacturing core of Japan, preserve old techniques, and create clothes people want to keep wearing. This Raglan Tsuriami Sweatshirt is no exception to the rule.

This is a good sweatshirt to try if you’ve never worn a Human Made sweatshirt before. Not a cheap option but you can see exactly where it went; fabric, stitching, print quality. Use as one winter, wash a couple of times and it will wear out more than the day it was purchased.
