The verdict

Movement-line plaid shirt at a fair mid-tier price; Vietnam sourcing keeps costs down while the plaid adds visual interest.

Fit

Monterey cut suggests a modern, slightly tapered silhouette compared to camp styles. The plaid is of medium scale and warm-toned; expect a put-together casual look. Size true for a clean fit.

Quality

Vietnam-made cotton plaid at Faherty's standard movement-line quality. Plaids can show wear unevenly at stress points; expect solid basic construction suitable for regular wear without premium durability claims.

Price check

At 134 USD, fairly priced for a movement-line plaid shirt. The Monterey cut and patterning justify the slight premium over basic Movement pieces.

Best for

Men wanting a plaid option from Faherty with a more finished silhouette than camp cuts; works for casual weekends or light layering.

Care

Wash cold and inside-out to preserve the plaid colors; hang or tumble dry on low to prevent excessive shrinkage.

True to size

Faherty fits true to size with a deliberately relaxed cut — take your usual size, and only size down on the roomiest dresses and boxy tees if you're between sizes.

Owners and hands-on reviewers consistently report Faherty running true to size, with the slight ease built into the cut rather than a sign to size down. The relaxed silhouette shows up across lines — tees are described as boxy-but-not-oversized, pants run about a half-inch generous in the waist (not enough to change size), and some dresses and boxier tops read roomy enough that between-sizes buyers go down. A minority of owners find pieces large and boxy at their usual size — one Reddit user had a medium tailored — and a few customer reviews flag garment-to-garment inconsistency, but that's the exception in the feedback, not the pattern.

Sizing advice: Order your usual size across the line; if you're between sizes, size down only on roomy dresses and boxy tees — everywhere else stay true, since the relaxed drape is intentional.

What owners report about Faherty button-ups

Owners describe Faherty's button-ups as unusually soft for casual shirts — brushed cottons and linen blends that drape well — with a slightly relaxed cut that most reviewers say runs true to size. Longer-term owners report the fabrics holding up: one reviewer notes a flannel worn over a year with zero pilling. The consistent pushback is price for a casual shirt, and a minority of Trustpilot reviewers report items shrinking after washing according to the care instructions.

Strengths: Reviewers repeatedly single out fabric feel — soft brushed cotton and lightweight linen blends that drape better than the price peers they compare against.
Watch out for: The main complaints are the high price for casual shirts and scattered customer reports of shrinkage even when care instructions were followed.
Sizing: Reviewers report the shirts run fairly true to size with an intentionally slightly relaxed fit, so most advise taking your usual size rather than sizing down.
