Button-Ups

$295as of Sep 3, 2026. Check the current price at James Perse

The verdict

A soft, refined black jersey shirt for men—elegant enough for casual business wear.

Fit

Jersey knit has gentle recovery, so the fit remains stable through the day and wash cycles. Clean finishing means clean lines despite the soft fabric. Not fitted or oversized.

Quality

James Perse's Clean Finish line is tightly knit and color-stable. The jersey won't pill, and seams are reinforced. It's built for regular wear and will last years.

Price check

At $295, this sits above the base jersey prices, reflecting the tighter knit and refined finishing. It's expensive for jersey, but not unreasonable if you value durability.

Best for

The dresser who rotates minimal pieces and wants a black shirt that works from office to dinner.

Care

Gentle wash and lay flat to dry; jersey can stretch if hung while wet.

Fit check: James Perse

True to size

Owners report James Perse's numeric sizing (0=XS up to 5=XXL) runs true to size, with a deliberately relaxed, California-casual cut rather than a slim one.

Reviewers and sizing guides agree the numbered sizing maps predictably to standard sizes and stays consistent across tees, tanks, long sleeves, and sweats — one long-term owner wears the same size 1 across every James Perse product she owns. The caveat owners flag is that the house cut is intentionally roomy: tees and sweats read slightly relaxed at your true size, so people wanting a trim fit sometimes size down, while button-ups and polos can wear looser than the marked size suggests. On the women's side, fitted jersey pieces are the exception — reviewers note the skinny and fitted styles run small, and pants are cut long.

Sizing advice: Take your usual size converted to the number scale (0=XS, 2=M, 3=L); size down only if you want a trim fit in the relaxed tees and sweats, and size up in fitted jersey styles.

What owners report about James Perse button-ups

Third-party coverage of this brand's woven shirts is thin — most owner discussion centers on its knits, and one brand review notes the polos are considered its best item. Where buyers review the shirts directly, reports split: some praise the linen shirts as soft, well made and well colored, while others report looser-than-expected fit and thin materials they consider poor value at the price. Longtime forum owners advise that the US-made pieces hold up better than the imported ones.

Strengths: The linen shirts draw specific owner praise for softness, make quality and color.
Watch out for: Reports of thin fabric relative to price and looser-than-expected fit, with forum posters flagging the imported (non-US-made) production as the weaker buy.
Sizing: Buyers report the shirts fit looser than the marked size suggests, so consider sizing down if you want a trimmer fit.
