The verdict
Fit
Relaxed Movement Monterey cut designed for warm-weather wear. Summer Sky Plaid is open and airy—not dense. Sizing standard.
Quality
Budget-tier construction appropriate for seasonal rotation. Fabric feels light; construction is serviceable but not durable for heavy use.
Is the price fair?
Strong budget value at $59. Fair pricing for a seasonal, light-duty shirt.
Best for
Warm-climate residents and summer-season shoppers building lightweight rotation pieces.
Care
Machine wash cool to prevent color fading; hang dry to avoid shrinkage and preserve the airy drape.
Fit check: Faherty
True to sizeFaherty 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.
