Flannel shirt recommendations?

[herpsky]

I have a purple flannel by RL and looks amazing but the only problem is that

the shirt is made to be tucked into pants. The front is long as hell. i.e. it's not slim cut / fitted.

So, I'm thinking of purchasing a new flannel shirt.

Apparently, pendleton and supreme are pretty good.

But I don't think I can drop 200 bucks for a supreme flannel.

Any other recommendations?

Of course, my #1 choice is the infamous number nine hooded flannel

but the market price is like 450-600 USD. so that's not really an option.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

wow, that shit is ugly!

there are nice flannels on rakuten, order from hinoya or earthmarket and you could get one for like 120.

the built in hood reminds me of shit my mom used to get me at TJ MAXX

I recently purchased an RL flannel on eBay and noticed that it was really long to allow for tucking.

The problem was easily solved, however, by hemming it. Now the shirt looks great, but I'd prefer it to be slightly slimmer.

pendleton.com

or pendelton.com

forgot how it's spelled, but I have a flannel from them that I have taken to every mammoth trip (total of 9 trips, in 4 seasons).

Well, if you don't want to spend much: Vintage, vintage, vintage. Too bad you can't make it to Japan; I went to one shop in Osaka that had a whole wall of buffalo check flannel shirts. You can find some great fitting ones for under $5 and I think they look alot better with some wear/fade. I know Levi's makes some cheap ones as well. Or try Walmart/Target.......

i don't really see a reason to buy a designer flannel. if you want a better fit just get it tailored.

how much did you pay for the tailoring?

[Kasper]

if you have a cheap outdoor store or some kind of hunting/fishing store near, you should be able to find some pretty nice shirts. usually very cheap also.

some of my favorites that i own cut wise are MHI great price aswell in uk compared to stussy ones,I also had a great lined one from recon last year its so warm its like a jacket!

[eastcoastrider27]

how much did you pay for the tailoring?

I would guess about $5 or so.

I had a sweatshirt altered which was included in the total bill, so I can't say for sure how much it was for just the hemming of the flannel.

[herpsky]

kind of a noob question

you can get sweatshirts altered too?

that's crazy

[KM80]

I was wondering about that to, I have a couple crewneck sweatshirts that are too big, long and baggy, but I wasn't sure if it would even make sense to get them fitted.

[eastcoastrider27]

I brought in an XL sweatshirt and a medium sweatshirt. I asked them to make the XL fit like the medium, and they did it.

[stuntastic]

If you find a good tailor, they can almost alter anything...

I need to go pick up my crew neck and flannel today. fuck.

[TazBnyF]

^^same can be done with sleeves...really opens up a whole new world to your clothing you thought you'd never wear again due to the fit. just be mindful of the tailor you take it to though...sometimes you'll get it back looking like nothing was even done to it...sometimes you'll get it back uneven!

so ask around for a good tailor if you ever plan on doing that kind of stuff..

Flannel shirts is the new SuperIncest style trend, apparently.

[eastcoastrider27]

Trends are cyclical.

It just sucks when shit you've always been wearing becomes the new "it" thing.

the polo site has a nice (from what i can see) red/black flannel. i would love to see pics of the purple one if you have got the time.

i second the pendelton suggestion. i got a large though and its huge. i guess its large in paul bunyan standard sizing (PBSS). just get it tailored.

hahah that reminds me of that episode of doug. and they all watched that new teen show and every week every would wear the clothes that were worn on the show.

dougs clothes were the "in" thing one week and doug went crazy. i think this was on the bastardized ABC version of the show.

honk honk!

props galore for the fucking doug reference

and in response to the actual question, thrift thrift thrift thrift thrift

[steven]

[djork]

Well they rock if you were a teen in the grunge era. I have one from engineered garment that is absolute perfection and has some unusual detailing (cowboy snap buttons grouped two at a time with a larger space between each grouping and weirdly shaped pockets). I kept it long and unaltered, it ads an element of sloppiness to my wardrobe that is much welcome. It looks great paired with black jeans under a leather jacket or with a tweed cap and some more traditional (read American workwear) items.

n(n) does do some nice cut flannels. don't like the one herpsky posted though. not to mention they are waaaay overpriced.
