Product Insights
The Deus Ex Machina Damask Stripe Team Jersey revives 1970s satin sportswear with a subtle shifting luster and an original in-house design referencing surf, moto, and racing culture, anchored by a motorsport-red colorway tied to Italian and Japanese heritage. Its 100% polyester satin-weave microfibre mimics vintage football jersey feel, while screen-printed graphics (front PARTS & SERVICE, back custom motorcycles) root it in motorcycle workshop culture. For a trimmer silhouette, size down; however, breathability suits casual summer wear but falls short for high-intensity activity, and its care—cold gentle wash inside out, no bleach or softener, air dry—requires attention to prevent cracking.
- Fit
Size down for a trimmer silhouette.
Why this is supported
The brand directly advises sizing down for a trimmer fit:
This jersey is cut with a loose fit. If you want a trimmer silhouette, we suggest ordering a size down.
Is the loose fit true to size, or should I size down for a more fitted look?This deliberate loose silhouette reflects Deus Ex Machina's surf and motorcycle heritage, with origins in a custom motorcycle workshop where tops were cut for a forward-leaning riding posture. The satiny microfiber fabric creates a fluid drape that avoids a boxy shape, and the jersey's cut is inspired by 1970s polyester sportswear, giving it an archival feel.
- Breathability
Airflow is good for casual summer wear but falls short for high-intensity activity.
Why this is supported
The brand notes that:
The lightweight microfibre fabric is comfortable for casual summer wear, and the loose fit promotes airflow. However, the satiny finish means it may not be as breathable as natural-fiber tees for high-intensity activities
How breathable is the microfibre fabric for summer wear or active use?- Sheen
Subtle, shifting luster replicates the high-sheen of vintage 1970s sport jerseys.
Why this is supported
The satin finish produces a
subtle, shifting luster that moves from matte to a gentle gloss depending on angle

- Design
Full design is original in-house work referencing surf, moto, and racing culture.
Why this is supported
The visual identity of the jersey is entirely bespoke. Instead of using licensed or stock artwork, the brand's in-house art studio creates every graphic. According to their research,
the front and back prints are not stock graphics but extensions of the brand’s surf, moto, and workwear visual narrative

100% polyester satin-weave microfibre mimicking 1970s football jersey feel.
Why this is supported
The fabric is a deliberate historical reference. It is a lightweight, satiny microfibre that
replicates the high-sheen, quick-feel of 1970s polyester football and baseball jerseys
Deus Ex Machina design identity in this jersey — 1970s_satin_sportswear_revivalThe satin weave itself is functional:
the loose fit hangs with a fluid, slinky drape rather than holding a rigid shape, so the jersey moves with the body and avoids looking boxy even at a relaxed cut

The satin finish catches light with a subtle, shifting luster that moves from matte to a gentle gloss depending on angle

The satin-finished microfibre gives the jersey a smooth, almost silk-like touch that is noticeably less textured than standard cotton jersey and less tacky than untreated polyester

The lightweight microfibre fabric is comfortable for casual summer wear, and the loose fit promotes airflow. However, the satiny finish means it may not be as breathable as natural-fiber tees for high-intensity activities — many customers find it fine for everyday use.

Screen-printed graphics; wash inside out in cold water and air dry to prevent cracking.
Why this is supported
The graphics are screen-printed rather than heat-pressed, which generally resists peeling and cracking longer. The brand confirms that
The graphic prints are typically screen-printed on this style.
Are the graphic prints screen-printed or heat-pressed, and how do they hold up after multiple washes?To preserve them, the brand recommends turning the jersey inside out before washing, using cold water, and air drying. Additionally, they advise:
do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage both the fabric and the graphics.
What are the recommended care instructions to maintain the satiny finish and prevent damage to the fabric or prints?- Care
