Browse all 3sixteen button-ups →Big Oxford ~ Blue Banker Stripe
The verdict
Fit
Big Oxford is intentionally roomy through the body and shoulders with a more relaxed collar; expect a lived-in rather than tailored silhouette. Banker stripe is subtle. Size true.
Quality
Oxford cloth is a durable weave; 3sixteen's big oxford line uses consistent, reversible-weave construction. Typical of well-made casual shirts.
Is the price fair?
USD 180 is the entry point for a 3sixteen button-up and represents fair value for oxford cloth construction from a builder-focused brand.
Best for
Those seeking casual button-ups for everyday rotation and not needing tailored fits.
Care
Oxford is low-maintenance; machine wash warm and tumble dry. The weave improves with age.
What owners report about 3sixteen button-ups
3sixteen's button-up range is anchored by the Crosscut Flannel, which editorial coverage describes as a heavy, all-cotton Japanese fabric with a brushed interior, chainstitch run-offs, and enamel buttons that are expected to wear and chip over time. A three-year owner review of the indigo knit version reports the shirt stayed in heavy rotation but the elbows eventually wore through the outer layer and needed patching, with fading concentrated at the cuffs and other high-wear areas. The same reviewer describes the fit as slim and tailored, with slight give in the fabric that keeps it unrestrictive.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently point to the substantial Japanese flannel fabric and visible construction detail as the reason these shirts stay in rotation for years.
- Watch out for
- In long-term wear the elbows are the first failure point — one three-year review reports them wearing through and needing patches — and the enamel buttons are expected to crack and chip with use.
- Sizing
- The Crosscut Flannel fits on the slim, tailored side; a long-term reviewer advises taking your usual 3sixteen shirt size, noting the fabric's slight stretch gives some leeway.
