True Shirt - Selvedge Chambray - Red
The verdict
Fit
True Shirt cut is straight and neutral—no waist shaping, clean shoulders. Runs true to size with sleeves that hit mid-forearm.
Quality
Selvedge chambray is well-executed and will soften pleasantly over time. Red dye will fade gradually; this is expected and intentional.
Price check
At $178, the selvedge detail and chambray weight justify mid-premium pricing. Red adds visual value but doesn't inflate the price—fair trade.
Best for
Statement casual and layering piece for shoppers seeking color without being trendy, and willing to replace it as the red fades.
Care
Wash inside-out with cool water and turn-dried to minimize dye bleed in early wears and preserve the chambray hand.

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.
