Button-Ups

The verdict

A linen button-up with a novelty print; priced fairly if the weaving is solid, otherwise premium for print alone.

Fit

The True Shirt line typically runs true to size with a relaxed modern cut. Linen will soften and drape more over wear.

Quality

At $188, expect decent linen blend weight and solid seaming. Print durability is the variable—confirm the print technique before buying.

Price check

Mid-range for a printed linen shirt. Price reflects Naked & Famous brand positioning more than exceptional yarn or construction.

Best for

Shoppers seeking a casual summer shirt with personality who accept that novelty prints carry a brand premium.

Care

Linen prints fade with age; wash cool, inside out, to extend print life and avoid sun exposure.

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.
