The verdict

Same broad, athletic fit as the striped version. Rugby cuts are forgiving and comfortable.

Same seaming and yarn quality as the striped at the same $84 price point.
Is the price fair?
Equivalent budget-friendly option. The solid black makes this more versatile for everyday casual wear.
Best for
Shoppers seeking an affordable, reliable casual knit in a neutral color that works with anything.
Care
Wash separately initially to check for dye bleeding; then treat as standard knit cotton.
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.
