The verdict
Fit
3sixteen's pieces typically run true to size with a relaxed, generous cut suitable for layering. Expect a substantial, structured garment from the outset.
Quality
3sixteen builds its pieces to last; this denim BD shirt should be heavy and durable with quality stitching typical of the brand's heritage approach.
Is the price fair?
At $200 for a selvedge denim button-up, you're in premium territory—fair if the weight and construction match the price, but not budget-friendly.
Best for
Shoppers seeking a high-quality denim shirt with real durability and a relaxed fit that improves with wear.
Care
Selvedge denim typically benefits from infrequent washing; spot-clean and air dry to preserve color and structure.
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.
