Button-Ups

$197

The verdict

Premium aloha with dobby-woven bands at $197; excellent if you want serious aloha craft and don't mind the luxury price.

Fit

Aloha cut is full and relaxed. Dobby banding may create subtle texture lines across the chest and back but doesn't change fit expectations.

Quality

Dobby weaving is technical and durable. Black dye on dobby-detailed fabric holds color exceptionally well and resists fading better than prints.

Price check

At $197, this is premium aloha and the dobby detail and black durability justify the top-shelf price. Honest luxury, not inflated brand premium.

Best for

Sophisticated warm-weather wear for shoppers wanting aloha with serious craft detail and willing to invest in aloha as a statement.

Care

Wash cool inside-out to protect dobby texture; hang dry to preserve structure.

What owners report about Naked & Famous button-ups

Third-party coverage of the shirt line is thin compared with the brand's denim, but the detailed independent review that exists reports solid workmanship on the Japanese-fabric, sewn-in-Canada shirts, with good stitch density throughout. The same owner found the selvedge chambray fabric the highlight of the shirt. Reviewers note the loomstate fabrics behave like raw denim: the care tag on one shirt warned of 8-10% shrinkage in the wash, and the shirt did tighten roughly a half to a full size after laundering.

Strengths: Reviewers single out the Japanese-milled shirt fabrics and consistently good stitch density and construction.
Watch out for: Unsanforized styles shrink substantially in the wash (one care tag warned 8-10%), the kimono-style sleeve lacks a cuff opening so it can't be rolled far, and there are few long-term owner reports on the shirts to draw from.
Sizing: Selvedge styles run generous before washing and can come down a half to a full size after laundering, while the Easy Shirt is described as fitting true to size.
