The verdict
Fit
Big oxford in tan; generous fit that flatters a range of body types. Tan is forgiving but will show lighter staining.
Quality
Expect oxford cloth quality with even dye and secure seams; tan tones should hold color across repeated washings.
Is the price fair?
At $198, fairly priced for a premium oxford in a statement neutral that expands a casual rotation.
Best for
Warm-palette dressers seeking a lightweight, easy-wearing oxford that anchors neutral or earthy outfits.
Care
Tan can fade with aggressive washing; use cool water and air dry to preserve the safari tone.
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.
