I’ll go a bit different here - never tuck my flannels (rarely wear anyways). If they’re on the longer side (try to avoid), they only get an even longer coat on top. 

Tucking is for more formal wear, otherwise it often has a pretty severe, conservative sort of look. If that’s what you’re going for, cool. 

I’ve noted this opinion in other ways - mixing formal and casual properties rarely works imo - or I should say, rarely works for me. Blazer with jeans, Dress shoes with athletic shoe soles (see Cole Haan and all its progeny). I count tucking in a flannel to be a part of this. Some people somehow pull these things off, but not nearly as many as who try.

The exception may be a thinner sort of flannel shirt that goes under a sweater and is worn with trousers. (This is more formal than would be with jeans). Or something like that, but definitely without jeans.

I normally think of a flannel with jeans, and tucking anything into jeans except perhaps a t shirt, it’s just a tough sell. 

But yea, forget all this and go with @reubensangwich and dress how you prefer. 

I agree- it makes it more conservative.
Until a few years ago I preferred shirts to be tucked. But then I was also wearing my tops in a more fitted ways and didn't really have many heavy flannel ones. I think, the heavier ones from Indigofera and Iron Heart I always wore untucked. The lighter ones from LVC for example mostly tucked in as well as denim and chambray shirts.
Now with wider trousers I prefer most shirts untucked except for OCBD-shirts. And the heavy flannels by UES, WH and FW would be difficult to tuck in with too much fabric that would bunch up under the trousers.

Hopefully this is ok to post in here… been a long time and I can’t remember how we do things around here 

BUT!

Trying to find a shirt similar to this to pick up, think… vintage typical mechanic shirt type of vibe. This one’s from Knickerbocker but is no longer available and can’t be found anywhere in my size unfortunately 

Anybody know of anything?

[julian-wolf]

^ Seems very At Last & Co. vibes, or maybe Double Diamond

Maybe not sufu approved, but these might work well for what you are looking for.

Those are super cool ^^^. And as a Canadian boy, I like that they say made in Toronto, you don’t see much of that

Why not sufu approved? Looks like a great brand

[Thanks_M8]

Non heritage brand, more a internet famous cook using his branding to offer a better version of dickies & carhartt, which I'm fine with. Half my wardrobe is carhartt anyway

M-35 I think ...

The army denim pullovers M-35 are really nice.
I've just made the experience, that pullover shirts are somehow not so comfortable to wear. I've had a few shirts like that and wasn't wearimg them much.
Is any one aware of this option?

They only seem to sell vintage stuff (meatmarketusa.com), so it seems to be a vintage item.

Late pass, didn’t notice this thread existed but Westride make a decent looking reworking of m-35 that’s fully buttoned and not pullover you might like . Probably some other examples out there. Have also seen a vintage photo of a guy wearing one cut through below the placket (with raw edge no sewing or additional buttons) a bit like the one you posted.

Thanks
They are making some nice items.
I got a native vest and a striped long sleeve from them. 
This looks good, too. But sold out in the bigger sizes.
Perhaps just cutting one of the pullover repros oneself is the way to go.

My new Chambray shirt from Freewheelers also know as "Neal Cassady"  indigo work shirt 

The shirt design is inspired by work shirts from the 1920s. The left  pocket has a pen holder, the collar has a chin strap, the hem is finished with an open ring, and a union ticket is sewn on the back of the front hem. The buttons are made of iron, and the more you wear them, the more the paint will peel off and rust, creating a nice atmosphere. The fabric is likely to loose color , creating a nice shade of indigo. Bar tacks stitches in all pressure points  

In size 16, below were the measurements in unwashed:

pit to pit: 55

shoulder: 45

sleeve: 65

length: 77

After 1st wash I noticed:

pit to pit: 55 (no change)

shoulder: 45 (no change) 

sleeve: 64

length: 76

(Monkey Wrench told me that the shirt will shrink in 1st two washes, likely to shrink 1-15.cm in width and 2cm in length)

Pictures in unwashed condition:

Was this machine wash and dried or hand washed and line dried?
