The verdict

A two-tone corduroy shirt at a high price; buy this only if you specifically want corduroy and value the technical designation (21W).

Fit

Corduroy is textured and structured. Expect a relaxed modern fit that won't stretch much; true to size.

Quality

21W corduroy is a mid-weight wale. At $209, the seaming should be tight and the wale consistency good; expect a garment that softens slowly.

Price check

Premium for a casual corduroy shirt, reflecting both the fabric and the brand. Not a bargain, but justified if you want a structured alternative.

Best for

Shoppers seeking a retro-casual look with structure and durability who appreciate corduroy's texture and don't mind the price.

Care

Corduroy flattens with wear; brush the nap gently after washing to restore texture, and avoid over-washing.

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.
