Short Sleeve Commuter Shirt ~ Blue Stripe

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.
