Human Made Zip-Up After Hoodie Gray: Hoodie You’ll Actually Wear

If you’re considering gray zip-up hoodies, but don’t want them to be loud, the Human Made Zip-Up After Hoodie Gray could be worth your attention. We’re a Japanese clothing company, “We’re Human Made.” We’ve been making clothes for a while and this hoodie is what we think of when we think of clothes. No oversized prints. No over-the-top designs. It’s something you take out in the morning, get used to wearing, and keep wearing all day, even after several washings without it falling apart.

What makes this Gray Hoodie different?

Begin with the cloth. The body is made of cotton fleece. It feels soft but doesn’t go flat. The surface is washed and there will be slight variations in sizing and texture from piece to piece. There is no quality problem. It’s a worn in feel to what we wanted. The front pocket features an embroidered logo and the left cuff patch is shaped like a heart. The zipper can be adjusted in both directions, so you can adjust it as you like when sitting or walking. The color is GREEN/GRAY: grey being the color, green the details. Not showy, but the layers are discernible in close proximity.

There is one big benefit of made-in-Japan clothes – they fit the same way every time. This hoodie comes in sizes S to XL. This model measures 175cm, is S and has a body length of 62cm and shoulder width of 51cm. There’s not too much or too little. Its size allows for a layering of a t-shirt under it without it being too large. For that casual Japanese streetwear look, go with your everyday size. Wanna loosen it up, move up one.

How to Style It So It Looks Like Your Own

Gray hoodies don’t battle with your bottoms. The simplest way off the block is to wear straight jeans and canvas sneakers. Desire to look somewhat more professional? Replace the black tee with a white one, put on chinos or work pants and you’ll have a more polished look immediately.

Those who have Human Made tees or caps can repeat the colors. However, don’t have to wear all your clothes from one brand. A gray zip hoodie is already sufficiently quiet. Any clothing other than the uniform. Throw a Human Made Jacket over it when it’s cold or layer a long-sleeve tee under it. Both work. The key is to not put it on too carefully. Pull half way and push the sleeves up a bit. That way it will look more like your clothes.

Below are some things to consider before washing:

The following problem is common with cotton fleece: pilling of the fleece due to rubbing, and lint transferring to other material. This isn’t unique to this hoodie. It’s the nature of the cloth. We have stated it at the outset so you know what to expect.

Turn it inside out, zip it up and wash with cold/warm water when washing. No bleach. Do the first wash by yourself and use a thermometer to measure the water temperature. Dark colors will release some dye in the first few washings, but will be stable after that, while grey is stable. Don’t use a dryer. Cotton shrinks when dry and fleece gets stiff. Hang to dry, preferably in the shade. Excessive direct sunlight will cause fading to the gray. When you hang it, shake it flat and basically you will not have to iron it.

I’ll add one more thing to this: This hoodie comes with a wash treatment and the size and feel it provides is about the same it will provide after being washed. Will not shrink size after washing, but will not stretch with use. It should last for 2 or 3 years with normal care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this gray hoodie from Japan?

Yes. MADE IN JAPAN 100% cotton.

What size do I need to choose?

Take your normal size. S is 175cm which is an easy-to-wear, yet fitted fit. Go! UP one for losers. Shoulder and body length measurements are in the size chart on the product page. The best way to measure a jacket that you own is to use the same one.

Will it diminish in size when washed?

Not noticeably. Fabric is pre-treated for washing. However, don’t put it in the dryer. That’s not the case.

What about pilling?

Rub and rub the cotton fleece pills. That’s normal. Take a fabric shaver and gently shave the area. Don’t pick at it by hand.

Does Human Made have any other ‘gray’ pieces?

Yes. Gray is a very common color for human made T-shirts and caps, in addition to a few that are gray. Reissues are not required.
