The verdict
Fit
Princeton line tends toward a straight, slightly generous cut. Sizing runs predictable for Naked & Famous; no surprises in shoulder or sleeve length.
Quality
Organic construction at this price point is respectably executed. Hickory stripes hold color well and the weave is dense enough to feel durable, typical of the brand's heritage-inspired lines.
Is the price fair?
At $176, the organic story and solid construction represent fair value for a mid-premium shirt. You're paying some brand premium, but the material justifies it.
Best for
Everyday layering and casual wear for shoppers who prioritize organic fiber and don't need a statement piece.
Care
Wash cool and hang dry to preserve the organic dye; the hickory stripe will age gracefully with this approach.
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.
