Button-Ups

The verdict

A premium kimono-style shirt with traditional sashiko stitching; this is craft-forward and justifies the high price if you value textile artistry.

Fit

Kimono cuts are intentionally loose and draped. Expect voluminous sleeves and body; wear as-is or layer. Not fitted; sizing is generous.

Quality

Sashiko is hand or machine-guided decorative stitching requiring skill and precision. Indigo dyeing, especially on a kimono cut, signals serious construction and finish quality.

Price check

At $217.60, this is premium tier. The sashiko detail and indigo treatment justify the price if authenticity and craftsmanship matter; otherwise it's a luxury tax.

Best for

Collectors and design-forward shoppers valuing textile tradition, Japanese heritage stitching, and heirloom-quality garment construction.

Care

Indigo and sashiko require care: cold water, gentle detergent, air-dry. Indigo may bleed initially.

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.
