Human Made Light Blue Denim BD Shirt: A Complete Guide

What This Shirt Is

The Human Made Light Blue Denim BD Shirt is a lightweight cotton denim button down shirt. In 2010, NIGO created a brand named Human Made, which is a combination of vintage American workwear and Japanese production. This shirt embodies that blend. It is not as hard as raw denim. Not as thin as an oxford. It is positioned between, making it simple to wear throughout the seasons.

It’s casual with the help of the light blue wash. The pearl dot buttons, and chain-stitched features, refer to old American sportswear. The building will be solid but not heavy.

Fit and Sizing

The fit is regular. Not boxy, not slim. You can see that Human Made t シャツ or Human Made Parker is a general cut in line if you have worn one of their t-shirts or p シャツ before. Japanese sizing may be a bit smaller than western sizes, so refer to the actual sizes with a shirt that you own. Use the up arrow when in-between sizes. The denim offers minimal stretch, and there’s a greater amount of room to put on a tee underneath.

How to Style It

What people don’t realize about light blue denim is that it’s more versatile than they think. Here are some tips on how to wear it:

With Chinos or Contrasting Denim

Under a Human Made Jacket

Care Instructions

Jersey cotton requires less attention than denim. If not careful, the light blue color will fade unevenly.

Washing

• Wash cold (30°C or less)
• Turn the shirt inside out to avoid damage to buttons and stitching.
• Use mild detergent (without bleach or optical brighteners).
• Use only water on the first few cycles, as dye may transfer.

Drying

• Skip the dryer. Shrinks and loses shape when heated.
• Shape when wet and air dry in the shade.
• Direct sunlight fades light washes unevenly.

Ironing

• Use medium heat.
• Press on the reverse side.

Where to Buy

Stock is rapidly changing in Human Made releases in limited runs. Please see the Human Made 新着アイテム section on the official site for restocks. Some stuff that aren’t online are sold by some direct stores, like Human Made Fukuoka in Japan. Human Made Japan ships internationally outside Japan (some costs may differ due to customs and shipping).

BTS’ collaboration with the brand Human Hope has brought it to the forefront, and popular sizes have been sold out sooner. If you spot your size, don’t delay!

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Human Made Light Blue Denim BD Shirt Shrink?

May shrink slightly when dry with hot water or when tumble-dried. Minimize shrinkage with cold wash and air drying. It is pre-washed denim, so there shouldn’t be much shrinking, but there’s always a bit of cotton.

May I Wear It During the Summer?

Yes. The denim is also lightweight and breathable, which is better than heavy work denim. Sleeved and worn open in summer for hot weather.

What Is the Difference Between It and the Oxford BD Shirt?

A lighter and smoother cotton fabric is used in the Oxford version. The denim version is more casual and has more texture. Both fit regularly. Opt for Oxford for a more streamlined design, denim for a more interesting option.

Made in Japan?

Some of the items that Human Made produces are made in Japan. Look at the product tag or listing for country of origin. The production will differ for each item.

So What If I Don’t Fit into Any of the Sizes?

Size up. The fit is regular and comfortable but not too big, and the denim is slightly stretchy. Layering is more comfortable with a little more space.
