The verdict
Fit
Pace Tee fits true to size with a slightly structured body; expect a clean, unfussy silhouette that works layered or solo.
Quality
Typical of 3sixteen's mid-range basics: thoughtful fabric weight and precise seaming, though not the heavy-duty construction of pricier pieces.
Is the price fair?
Mid-tier pricing for a tee. Good value if you value heritage sourcing; premium if you're comparing to basics-brand options.
Best for
Someone who wants 3sixteen's attention to detail but on a budget that doesn't require mortgaging a shirt.
Care
Wash cool and lay flat to dry to prevent shrinkage and maintain the shirt's original shape.
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.
