What to know about Human Made
Human Made is Nigo's Tokyo label, built on a "The Future Is In The Past" concept that reworks vintage American and Japanese workwear, sportswear and military pieces through heavy graphics: heart logos, duck and polar bear mascots, loopwheel T-shirts, varsity jackets and sashiko denim. Pharrell Williams is an investor. The company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in November 2025, raising roughly 17.8 billion yen, and in June 2026 signed a non-binding agreement to buy Jun Takahashi's Undercover, with transfer targeted for February 2027. Collaborators include Adidas Originals, Kaws, Levi's and Verdy.

Overall fit
runs small
Sizing follows Japanese conventions, so garments typically measure a size smaller than equivalent Western labels, with a boxy body and shortish length that leads most people to size up at least once.
Tip: Most shoppers go one full size up from their usual US/EU size, and two up if they want length or a genuinely relaxed drape.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs small | boxy, fairly heavy loopback with a broad chest and short body | Size up one for a normal fit and two if you plan to layer or want length. |
| Jackets | runs small | boxy vintage varsity and coach-jacket cuts with limited room for layering | Size up one, or two if you want to wear a hoodie underneath. |
| Jeans & denim | slightly small | relaxed to straight vintage-inspired cuts, not slim | Take your true waist or go up one if the denim is raw and unsanforized, and expect to hem the leg. |
| Shirts & overshirts | runs small | vintage workwear-inspired regular cut, roomy through the body but narrow in the shoulders for larger frames | Size up one, especially if you have broader shoulders or a longer torso. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs small | boxy with a wide chest and structured loopwheel body | Size up one from your usual tee size, or two if you are tall or want a modern oversized look. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | relaxed workwear and fatigue cuts | Stick to your usual waist size; the cut already sits relaxed. |
