Barry is our first-born button-up we consider our bread and (Irish) butter. Designed for a slim and tailored fit.

Runs small, if in doubt size up

Famous Denim, 100% Cotton

Barry—our first-born button-up—is the closet essential we consider our bread and (Irish) butter. Classic in style and sharply tailored to hug your waist and back, Barry curves in all the right places. Notice our signature single pocket, hip-skimming hemline, and bust-flattering button placement.

  • Hand-distressed raw hem hits right at the hip
  • Tailored like an hourglass to hug your curves
  • Back center seam follows the curve of your back
  • Signature bust flattering button placement with chest pocket and long sleeves with button cuffs
  • Simone is 5'8" with a 34" bust wearing a size S
  • This garment is made using indigo fabric with a small batch stone washing process, giving each garment a unique look that will evolve and fade over time
  • This “legendary” denim is hand-finished by artisans in California, featuring one-of-a-kind details—and it only grows softer with every wash.
  • 100% Cotton. Our cotton is sourced, spun, dyed, and woven in Egypt, then cut, sewn, and finished right here in California.
  • We recommend washing separately in cold water before the first wear to prevent any color transfer. After that, machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low.

How to Measure

BUST

Wrap a soft measuring tape under your arms and around the fullest part of your chest. Avoid pulling the measuring tape too tightly.

Pro Tip: Keep your favorite undergarment on while you measure to get the most accurate number.

NATURAL WAIST

Stand up straight and relax your stomach, then wrap a soft measuring tape at the midway point between the bottom of your ribcage and your hip bone. Avoid pulling the measuring tape too tightly.

HIP

Stand with your feet hips width distance and flat, then wrap a soft measuring tape around the widest point of your hip.

Pro Tip: Sitting down while you take this measurement ensures accuracy and provides added comfort for the best fit.

INSEAM

Use a soft measuring tape to measure from the highest point of your inner thigh to the bottom of where the pant will hit. For instance, if the inseam is 27”, you’ll measure 27” down.

Pro Tip: Measuring with shoes on lets you see the full picture and ensures your pants fall exactly where you want them.

Reviews

Barry is the BEST

"If you’re a petite woman who likes to show her frame everything about the Barry is hands down Superb! Very clearly stated in descriptions: If you’re bigger get the Eileen- much more fabric in bust back hip. The only complaint - Voile seems to have been discontinued over a year ago: ridiculous! I own every solid made in voile & denim. WHY have the solids palette been so diminished? Why is Voile not even offered? Only 1 color in linen? This caused me 2shop elsewhere for flattering lite weight button downs which is a loss all around. Plz advise"

— Margaret (5/5)

buy one size up.

"i usually where a medium but ordered one size up as the previous reviews said this runs small. it fits perfectly. love it."

— Kristi S. (5/5)

Barry Button up shirt

"I received the black Barry button up and love the fit. I’m a size 4 and bought size small. The fabric is soft and 100 percent cotton and feels good against my skin. That’s why I love Frank & Eileen! Keep up the great quality!"

— Adele E. (5/5)

Nice shirt but tight in the hip

"The material is soft and comfortable. I usually take a M but had to size up to a XL to fit in the hip area. I know this is a more form fitting shirt but fit is odd. Sizing up it fits in the hips but too big in the sleeve opening. I will move the buttons on the cuff to fit better. I love the look of the shirt."

Barry Classic Blue Wash shirt

"Love this shirt. Comfortable, beautiful, and well made"

— Sonia P. (5/5)

Seriously Missized

"This is perplexing. When ordering this shirt I read Frank & Eileens item description that stated " Runs small, if in doubt size up. " Ummm, more like "size three times up. " With countless reviews stating this issue there is apparently no concern or change by Frank & Eileen. Describing this shirt by saying it " hugs your curves" is inaccurate, if you have ANY curves it is NOT going to button up. Dear Frank & Eileen, we someone spends $288 on a cotton button up shirt they should get that shirt in a reasonably close version to standard sizing. I am a large, I ordered XL & it is , at best a Medium on this planet. I would expect this issue w/ Gap or Shein, NOT at this price point."

— Christina J. (1/5)

Wanted to love this shirt!

"I ended up returning this shirt. It is the first thing I’ve ever returned. I believe there is a size issue. I wear an Eileen in a med, and most other blouses in a large. I’m not a big person at 5ft 5 in and 154 pounds. I simply read reviews sized up to a xl and it has to be the smallest xl I’ve ever seen. I’m 65 and I thought I’d it me? I had my 31 year old fit and trim daughter try it and it was too small for her and all her F and E are mediums. I exchanged it for a denim white Eileen in a medium"

— Lorelei A. (5/5)

A word or two about sizing. . .

"Since there was so much controversy about sizing in the reviews for this shirt, I decided to purchase two different sizes. Normally, I am a Medium in most purchases. I am 5'9", 145 pounds, 36 B or C. I purchased the white color Barry in Medium, and because of all the recommendations to size up, I purchased the black color Barry in Large. Frankly, they both fit, but in different ways. The medium was definitely small-ish, but in a purposeful way. It looks good for example with high-waisted jeans. There is not a lot of wiggle-room for gaining any weight; it is fitted and slightly snug . The large size is not too large, but has more room and is more casual and comfy. I liked them both and kept them both but if there is doubt, I'd recommend to size up. I love the fabric. Buttons could use an upgrade and the top button needs to be higher."

— Laurie L. (4/5)

My First Purchase

"My first purchase from Frank and Eileen. Love the shirt but it's a bit too small and I purchased it on final sale so I know I cannot exchange it. I typically wear a medium and some smalls bit this one seems to be a slim fit and I completely missed that. I do love the shirt and the fringe details."

— Jacquie F. (5/5)

Love this shirt

"Always love F+E. Great style quality and color"
