The verdict
Fit
Princeton fit is consistent across colorways: straight body, natural ease through the chest, sleeves neither tight nor billowing.
Quality
Organic construction held to the brand's consistent standard. Indigo hickory ages well and the stripe will soften rather than fade abruptly with wear.
Is the price fair?
At $176, this sits in the same fair-value zone as its green sibling. Organic pricing for reliable, heritage construction.
Best for
Cool-season layering and foundational casual pieces for shoppers drawn to indigo as a neutral.
Care
Wash cold with similar colors to minimize indigo bleed in early wears; line dry to preserve dye depth.
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.
