So I've lived up north for 21 years and never really worn much flannel. My best buddy loves it and wears it constantly so I'm ready to give in and rock the look of many of the greatest men to walk the earth I.E. Hemingway, Nick Offerman, Otis "toad" Smith and that dude from Dumb and Dumber that hocked on Jeff Daniels burger. Looking for some brand suggestions?

Filson.  Serious quality.  Great selection. The original Seattle flannel.  https://www.filson.com/shirts/flannel-shirts.html

 

Eddie Bauer.  Also a Seattle original.  Decent quality.  https://www.eddiebauer.com/c/480005/men-tops-shirts-flannel?cm_re=men_1_to_p_mGTMflannel_220915

 

 

 

I love the Carhartt flannels. I’ve worn them for years and they still seem knew. Everything they make is great quality. 
 

Huk just released a flannel as well which I wanna try. I love all their other clothing.

Flannel is a religion here.

Second only to most anything Camouflage.

If I'm working outside at the house or in the field for my job, I'd wear something like this:

At work, I'd wear this as like a jacket. Unbuttoned and with a golf shirt under or a colored t-shirt, depending on the setting.

I wear flannel considerably  ,  light weight , heavy and lined .My local Farm store sells a brand called Stillwater . They are nice and priced right , especially when they go on sale . 

 

 Here I am wearing flannel over flannel . 

I wear flannel each day from October through winter. I get mine at Orschlien farm and home store.

Me neither.  I see it as more of an older person type apparel.  I rarely see anyone my age or younger wearing it anymore.  Plus I'm an oven 365 days/year and long sleeves are way too hot, even in the Midwest winter.

I'd have agreed before yesterday....but yesterday, our 24 year old came over wearing a flannel shirt....and shorts.  It was 81 degrees outside.  Could only have been a fashion choice 

If possible I like to get better quality flannel shirts. Cheap ones are thin and shrink too much in the wash. They also don't hold they're shape.                   I don't think they've ever really gone out of style. I've been wearing them a long time. Most younger guys wear sweatshirts of some kind. I like both. Carhartt is a good brand.

Had to be.  No one in their right sane mind would wear flannel when its 81 out.

I've used LL Bean's for years, never tried another brand so take it for what it's worth.

 

On edit... Mine are flannel lined.

LL Bean, Carhartt, Woolrich all great brand. I personally go with Woolrich. They last a lifetime. There expensive but the factory outlet isn’t to far for me in Woolrich Pa. And once a year they have sales at the factory store for massive savings.

To be honest, I’ve never worn one. They’re quite popular here in Michigan though (they’re also made in Michigan).

Doesn’t Red Green wear flannel?

Only long sleeved shirts I own are flannel.

Duluth makes good flannel.

Carhartt or LL Bean for me.

 

I also bought a Stormy Kromer last year. Gonna come in handy walking the pup this coming winter.
