Short Sleeve Workshirt ~ Blue Pigment Dye
The verdict
Fit
Workshirt cut is structured and pockets-forward. Blue pigment dye creates a softer aesthetic than brown while maintaining utilitarian reading.
Quality
Pigment-dyed blue is traditional workwear coloring. 3sixteen's versions feature strong stitching and reliable button placement for regular wear.
Price check
At $175, mid-premium pricing for a pigment-dyed shirt. Good value for the brand's quality baseline and dye technique.
Best for
Workwear collectors and casual dressers seeking a blue workshirt that balances utility with considered, artisanal finishing.
Care
Wash in cool water and hang-dry; expect initial pigment bleeding that subsides with repeated washing.

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.
