The Human Made Blue Heart Logo T-Shirt is a complete guide to the shirt.

Introduction

We are Human Made. We don’t have to tell you how to dress and we don’t pretend that a T-shirt changes your life. However, if you’re viewing the Human Made Blue Heart Logo T-Shirt, you’ve got a few things to get straightened out.

Taking the feel of old American clothing and reconstructing it the Japanese way, like Human Made has been since 2010, is the base of this tee. The concept for the brand, “The Future is the Past,” was sparked in Tokyo by NIGO. It seems like a nebulous concept until you don this blue heart tee.

Fabric and Fit

Official specifications are equally straightforward: 100% cotton, no feel, no side seams and a double binder neck. Tubular body – No side stitch on your ribs, no twisting on your body. Long-term it’s the double binder neck that is relevant—the T-shirt collars are always the first to go and this one is designed to last. The silhouette is relaxed and boxy, shoulders are a bit dropped, but still defined. All the blue is processed through a garment wash, which gives each piece a slightly different tone and texture. No, that’s the way the washing process works, it’s not a defect.

About the Blue Heart

Human Mede’s red heart is the signature. Blue is a less frequent color. The blue heart, in a previous Human Made and Pokémon partnership, was the only color option for the Gain mane Offline Store. Blue is a good choice if you want something that won’t shout the red heart, but will be easily understood by those who know. The cursive Human Made script is within the heart outline on the chest. It is not loud. Doing this a few times will soften and age the print. This is what this tee is meant to do.

It is essential that you have the following things to know before putting it on your face.

A method for fading colors and transferring images.

It will fade and may bleed on other surfaces. The official notes are clear: color fading and color transfer is possible as a result of the garment dyeing process. Avoid washing with white shirts, avoid leaving it soaking, and avoid rolling it up in a bag after exercising or after exposure to rain. Pre-treat with a cold rinse of its own before its first use to remove loose dye.

Washing Instructions

Turn it inside out. Cold water. Mild detergent. Gentle cycle or hand wash. No bleach, no fabric softener as fabric softener leaves a film on cotton fibers and that hand feel goes down the drain. Short run the spin cycle.

Drying Instructions

Do not tumble dry. The tee already has a wash cycle and high heat will shrink it further than you might think and take the shape out of it. Shake it out, dry it in the shade and hang it from the hem, not forcing a hanger through the collar. If ironing, iron on the back and not on the print.

How to Style It

The shade of blue isn’t dark or light. If you want a look that is in the same family, but looks different, indigo denim will provide you with that. The heart color really shines through with khaki or olive work pants. Top it with a Human Made Jacket or an open overskirt, and reveal a bit of the blue heart at the collar—this is how the brand likes to wear it. Use this tee in the middle for colder weather when wearing a long sleeve turtleneck underneath. It’s better than just a normal sweatshirt.

FAQ

Is this Blue Heart Logo T-Shirt made in Japan?

Yes. Made in Japan,” according to the official labelling.

What is the difference between the blue heart and the red heart?

Same design language, different color. The version with red is the most easily identifiable of Human Made. Blue appears much less frequently, and is occasionally found in limited releases. Fabric & fit is identical.

Will it shrink?

Shrinkage is very low when dried with cold water and shade drying. However, if hot water or a dryer is used it will shrink and fit will change. Do not risk it.

Will the print peel off?

The print is naturally aging and softening with proper washing and drying. It will not come off the wall in sheets as poor glue prints. It is washed inside out, dried inside out and kept away from the graphic when ironed.

Should I size up?

It’s a casual boxy cut. Official size M is 66cm long, 48.5cm wide, 45cm shoulder; size L is 68cm long, 52cm wide, 49cm shoulder. If you’re looking for a casual, relaxed fit, go with your standard size. For more room, go one up. To go up one size is possible to lose the shape of the collar and shoulders.

With Human Made, is there a connection with Human Hope?

No. Human Made is a Tokyo brand started by NIGO. Human Hope is an independent project. Separate them when searching.

Final Thoughts

The Blue Heart Logo T-Shirt is not the loudest in the room. It’s never supposed to be that way. What you’re paying for is the fabric, the collar that’s still there after a year of daily wear, the cut that will keep its shape for a year, and a heart that won’t need a billboard-sized logo to be known to people who know. It demands that you give it a cold wash, no dryer, no white—then it’ll give you a tee that ages, rather than wears out. If it’s a fair trade, this one is worth it. If you’re going to put something in the dryer and forget about it, you might want to find a different and more suitable alternative. Human Made is best used by those who consider their garments to be things that they wish to last beyond.
