The verdict
Fit
Generous aloha relaxation. Black shows body shape less; size to preference for fit, knowing the cut errs loose.
Quality
Standard aloha construction and weight. Black dye may hold up slightly better to washing than lighter prints.
Is the price fair?
At $118.40, deep-discount pricing for a novelty piece. Good for impulse buys; full price would feel excessive for basic aloha quality.
Best for
Casual dressers seeking a tropical-print shirt in a dark, easy-to-wear color.
Care
Cold wash to preserve the wave print; air-dry.
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.
