Human Made Raglan Tsuriami Sweatshirt Orange

If you have been watching Human Made recently, you may have seen the Raglan Tsuriami Sweatshirt in Orange. One of those things that just always seems to appear in every drop and sales never cease. But it does make sense, after all.

What sets these sweatshirts apart from others?

People first talk about the color. The orange is not bright or flashy. It’s not loud, not over-done, like you would find in an old shop that’s been washed a hundred times. The orange that will share with denim, black, olive and basically all your wardrobes.

The other important feature are the raglan sleeves. The shoulder seam is not straight, but curves from collar to the underarm. This leaves you with more space to move around and a more comfortable fit that doesn’t look sloppy. That’s why raglan sweatshirts have remained in fashion ever since the old athletic era.

Tsuriami is the name given to the loopback fabric. The Japanese knitting method used to make those inside loops. No fleecing, no brushing. It’s just soft and breathable cotton that can effectively trap heat. Wear it in October and March. It works.

How to Wear It

It’s very versatile and can be worn in many different styles. Simply throw it on with Human Made Denim and you’re done. Enjoy with Human Made Pants for the complete brand style.

When layered, it fits well under a Human Made Jacket. The raglan cut is such that there is no bunched up shoulder area. And if you own a Human-made hoodie, then you know how these go with each other.

The orange color – in fact it makes it simpler to style than you would imagine. Use it as a neutral. Black Pants, White Sneakers, DONE! Or opt for more adventurous indigo jeans and brown boots.

Care and Keeping It Right

This is where I’m going to have to bite my tongue, as no one else is going to tell you this in a straightforward way.

Tsuriami cotton is sometimes small. Not a lot but enough to see. Please note that the body and sleeves may be slightly shorter if washed in hot water and placed in the dryer. The directions on care commonly state cold wash, hang dry. Follow them.

Wash it inside out. Cold water. If care is taken, then gentle cycle or hand wash. No bleach. Avoid using the dryer altogether. Spread it out on the floor or hang it in an airy location. It’ll dry much sooner than you realize!

If properly cared for, the ribbing on cuffs and hem stays in place for a long time. Over time, hot water will deteriorate the elasticity of elastic. It stays in tact while it’s in cold water.

When in between sizes, consider if you’d prefer the oversized effect or perhaps closer to true. The raglan pattern is always done so that it’s comfortable and then going true to size will leave even more room.

Where to Find It

Each Saturday Human Made releases new pieces online and in their Human Made Fukuoka and other stores throughout Japan. We’ll see the orange raglan in various seasons, and occasionally with some small changes in the ribbing or fabric weight.

Main releases are from Human Made Japan. Outside of Japan, a proxy or reseller will be required. Retail prices are lower than prices on the secondary market, particularly for colors such as this orange.

There’s also a weekly Human Made New Arrivals from the brand, so if this particular sweatshirt isn’t currently in stock, there’s likely something similar. This raglan pattern can be found in various colors and materials frequently.
