The verdict
Fit
Loop shirt cut suggests a structured, slightly oversize fit typical of 3sixteen's menswear line. Sizing runs true to brand standards.
Quality
3sixteen's short-sleeve offerings feature reinforced hems and quality button placement. Expected durability is high for this price tier.
Is the price fair?
At $175, you're paying mid-premium pricing for an American-made casual shirt. Value is fair if you appreciate the construction details; high if judged purely by fabric.
Best for
Men seeking a reliable warm-weather shirt that rewards close inspection of seam work and fabric quality.
Care
Machine wash cold to preserve the microcheck pattern; lay flat or hang-dry to maintain the shirt's structured cut.
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.
