The verdict
Fit
3sixteen's cuts tend toward a structured fit; expect a polished drape without excess fabric at the collar and cuffs.
Quality
3sixteen is known for meticulous construction and generous fabric weight across its entire line. At this price, durability and finish details are prioritized.
Is the price fair?
Premium for a button-up shirt, but 3sixteen's reputation is built on quality you can feel and wear for years. Fair at this tier.
Best for
Someone building a collection of shirts from a brand they trust for consistent, well-made basics.
Care
Wash in cool water and dry flat to preserve the structure and color saturation typical of quality button-ups.
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.
