my guess on Mich`s watch is a nixon. you cant see what the band is made of so it could be a few of the nixons, scout, rocker, etc...

Bump........

i was thinking the same thing but i figured it was worth a try

Now you're losing me. If you're looking specifically for slim fits, you'll either have to go with a japanese brand, or, as stated, a fashion brand. Fashion brands might have quality issues though.

Theirs a method to the madness though. I spend a lot of time in the gym so clothes fit me weird. Most size large are too small in the bicep and length of arms. I always thought i just had long arms then i was getting fitted for a tux one day and the dude taking my measurements said it was because of my big shoulders and traps. So I have to buy an XL to get the length on the arms and the room in the bicep area. But when I do this the chest and stomach are usually way to baggy.

Thats why the carhartt I just bought is at the seamstress. Carhartt stuff runs a little big so I actually got a L and am having like 3 inches taken off the bottom of the shirt and it tapered a little.

I have the same problem with jeans since i have an 800+ lb leg press. The thighs in most skinny cut jeans are the size of my calfs.

Ahh well...

Why don't you just save for a bit and take the plunge with an iron heart flannel? Seems to me saving an extra month to get probably the beat flannel makes more sense than spending half and getting a quarter of the quality.

I have thought long and hard about this but this is the question I asked myself. Take a good quality flannel like we are talking about. something in the 150US range by a company that is known to make quality stuff. How much better can an IH flannel possibly be for 150+ more?

Trust me, I LOVE IH stuff so if you have an honest answer please share because im dying to get my hands on an IH so if I can justify it im all for it. I love IH stuff but the price IMO is a little inflated.

Again, nothing against IH. Im actually buying a pair of there 5th anniversary jeans next payday. I know I know im a hypocrite...

After going through all the brands mentioned, a lot (not all) of them didnt have much style to them. Just my opinion but flannels and plaid are weird. for me theres a very fine line between what i think is cool and what should be worn by my grandfather. Im sure its just because im young(er) then a lot of people on here. I did find a few Pendletons I like though.

Try Rothco. Selection is limited but the price is right. Cant complain about the quality either. They will give any $100+ flannel a run for their money in terms of durability. Cut a little larger so take into account if you decide to purchase.

Ill check them out.

You are definitely thinking of Mossimo and Target still carries that brand.

That sounds familiar now that you mention it. probably is what im thinking about.

Thrift thrift thrift, I have a closet full of pendletons that I haven't paid more than 15 dollars for.

HAHA, Just got back from the thrift store actually... nothing good this time.

Stussy Deluxe flannels. $135.00

its really funny you mention this. So as I said im 23 and when i was in high school about 6 years or so ago stussy was one of those "cool" brands. all of there stuff was priced a little higher then your normal mall priced stuff. Then a big chain store in Chicago (and im sure there in other cities) called Target started carrying there stuff at rock bottom prices. the store is basically like Walmart. They sell stuff at pretty low prices. There Stuff went from like 35 dollars for a t shirt to around 10 dollars at target. So it became the "uncool" brand.

Fast forward a few months ago when I found out about SuFu I was looking through some threads and saw quiet a few people with Stussy shirts.

Ill check out there Flannels though:D

Orion, checked out both those brands and they are nice. thanks!

So Im looking to stock up on some new flannels for the winter months in Chicago. I would LOVE to pick up some Iron Heart Flannels but being 23 years young with a family, I really cant justify paying 300+ on a shirt. I was at the mall yesterday and pretty much all the "outdoorsy" stores like AF, American eagle, ect had flannels but I have read a lot about stores like these selling really shitty quality clothes at a premium (premium as far as mall prices go...)

My first and only idea was Carrhart. I purchased one of there heavy flannels last week and its currently at a seamstress getting shortened by a few inches and tapered a little.

Anyone have any suggestions on a sub $150 dollar flannel that is made with quality materials?

offers?offers?
