Do you wear any kind of flannel? What are your favorite patterns?
>>18304702i have a greenish turquoise and black one like the one in that pic but they dont make enough green plaid flannels for men
>>18304702Buffalo check is nice but i prefer tartan
What brands have good flannel overshirts/shackets?
>>18304704buffalo check is a tartan.usually associated with Rob Roy, mostly because Jock McClusky claimed to be a descendant of Roy while he was trading blankets.
>>18304782Cool
>>18304703>>18304704>>18304782>>18304792Iron Heart UHF is the end game, nothing else compares
I have a black and blue one and a black and gray one that I wear pretty often. I don't really dig any color combinations outside blue, grayscale, and earth tones because bright-color flannels are for lesbians and nerdy men>patternshuh?
>>18304702I have a section of shirts dedicated to flannel, I love flannel-lined pants, and I do have some heavyweight flannel jackets, too.
>>18304702My closet is filled with LL Bean flannels. I probably got one every Christmas for like 10 years, and I just got a couple more from various stores.
I like many patterns from Portuguese flannel (currently own picrel and one other)
>>18306834Could you post them both (real pics of your own)? Interested in the brand, are they thick and heavy?
>>18304702i wishi like the look and idea of flannels, but it's just too damn hot all year where i live. I'd be able to wear one comfortably maybe a week out of the year
>>18304702My flannels are getting pretty worn outI like the washed out water color patterns, I think it's referred to as Durango
>>18304702I have a grey flannel suit and some high waisted spare trousers, also in grey. Neither are patterned as such but I like the texture and raised nap. Great for the colder months
>>18305719any recs on brands for pants? most I see are polyester, would like a real wool or maybe even cotton lined pair.
I wear chamois which is like flannel only longer, thicker, and far more badass
>>18309087real chamois? that sounds nice.
>>18309080all the brands we talk about in the denim thread make absurdly nice casual pants that aren't denim too.
I don't wear flannel. The patterns always remind me of a picnic table and I don't understand why anyone wants that for themselves.
>>18309104I find it's mostly either denim or chino. Most don't do flannel lined or any sort of wool trousers.
>>18309126I’ve heard that some morons think that it looks like jail bars, so be careful out there. They think that you’re in jail.
Are flannel shirts out of fashion because they were the most iconic item of 2010s hipsters? Or are they back? I really can't tell
Which colors (trousers) match with a black watch tartan shirt?
>>18309234slim fit is out traditional cut is timeless. >>18309129the repro brands that do military stuff would have that sort of thing. but yeah for those i'd look more to the high end menswear brands instead. my rec would be just lurk styleforum's traditional menswear board those brands will make what you want i'm just not sure off the top of my head who makes good flannel lined trousers because i'm a long johns and layering > lined trousers kinda guy. but wool trousers in nice traditional high cuts you can find all day long for like 150-600. seh kelly makes amazing shit i would big recommend their trousers but i've heard mixed reports on some of their other stuff.
>>18309429>slim fit is out traditional cut is timelessNo one even notices the cut when it's all about the colors and those fucking squares. C'mon.
>>18309437its the first thing people notice. slim fit = lumbersexual reddit larper vibes.
>>18309455Post a pic of the traditional cut
>>18309457got you i'll post some examples on diff physiques ranging from trim to traditional dress shirt to traditional work shirt fit.
typically you would almost have a jacket on outdoors back thenpic is without next will be with

i can give you w2c on all the photos including the vintage photos if you wantsome of these are 'inspired by' some are direct patterned off of a deconstructed vintage shirt.
it looks good on everyone. cut mostly for broad shouldered chad builds but it looks good on basically all men imo. you need the rest of the outfit to go with though.heres a direct reproduction shirt on a skinny dude with narrow shoulders. he's not a great looking dude but the shirt's doing him favors.
>>18309556
this one and the other 2 pics with asian guys are how it fits on me. i have a similar frame to asians but i have broader shoulders and i'm lean but not skinnyfat.
for /fit/bro fit pic examples just look at pics of ww2 soldiers or w/e i'll keep the spam down.
mind the belt shoes mismatch this one's a product photo for the pants and they just did that to show how it looks with brown and black in the same pic.good example of this kind of fit in a modern business casual context. just use your imagination and pretend the leather matches.
>>18309566You merely posted a bunch of pictures of good-looking fits with shirts. (Often not flannel, just regular shirts, but whatever).It's undisputed that a regular fit is better than a faggot's slim cut. Your whole point, other than being obvious, is basically unrelated to the original question >>18309234The question was if these flannel plaid shirts, as the ones from Portuguese Flannel, are sort of affected (negatively) by the fact that they were the most omnipresent piece of clothing in hipsters' wardrobes.The focus is not on the cut, it is on the pattern. And since it doesn't seem to be clear, I didn't ask for an education on the subject of shirts. I asked for opinions.
>>18309684i am replying to this anon >>18309457 not you. i already gave my opinion on portugese flannel but the janny deleted it. they're good qual if you like the fit. i tried them on at blueowl but didn't buy one because i have too many flannels already. >The focus is not on the cut, it is on the pattern.the only thing that codes certain shirts as reddit/2010 millenial is the slim cut that was ubiquitous and the focus of millenial fashion. nobody on planet earth is going to look at tartan and associate it with hipsters unless the shirt's slim. if the thought of being mistaken for a redditor plagues your mind go sign up at your local boxing gym and get some hair on your dick. and do some wall stretches to fix your forward head posture. shave the neckbeard etc.
>>18309710>nobody on planet earth is going to look at tartan and associate it with hipsters unless the shirt's slimBut you're essentially wrong. Pic related has been ruined forever for obvious reasons.
>>18309713not really. i wouldn't think someone's a redditor in that shirt unless they had an overly groomed beard or some other tell.buffalo shadow check is 1000x better than the normal buffalo check tartan though.
>>18309710id say tartans like this i'd expect to see on a streetwear fit or black guy more than a redditor.
>>18309713or something like thisiron heart's fit is kinda reddit but their tartan patterns are the most copied in the industry just posting them for examples of the pattern not the shirt itself.
>>18309713or shit like this, big checks in a dif color. definitely not reddit vice hipster vibes.
>>18309713its fine in more of a brick orange too, this is a lot easier to pull off than buffalo check.
>>18309713this is neutral as shit you could wear it any time.you can also get flannels without a tartan on them in flat colors. that's always an option. that loud bright red buffalo check you posted looks best layered not stand alone imo.
>>18305687Absolutely based, the red and black flannel is literally issued lesbian gear. If one wears them for work (, carpenter, lumberjack and such) it's fine but for fashion you look either a funko pop collector, a 2010 highschooler or a lesbian
>>18309738i did forest service imagine looking like a redditor irl
retarded 15min timer
orange flannels started getting a lot more popular like a decade after hipster era so there should be zero association. i quite like them.

i'll post some more rats for a few images
just an example of a brand i like all jap brands are quality and only maybe half of them make their shirts redditor-cut. the brands that are more unknown in the west are better.
>>18309804have you never been to the west coast before that print color is mexican core my friend.
you can get brands by reverse searching my pics even if you don't like those prints those brands all make good shit.
>>18309808>beyond braindead. you can tell this guy doesn't know how to put a fit togetherOkay retard. Half the shirts you posted suck tranny dick. I own some patterned flannels myself, but they're wisely selected not to make me look like a fucking redditor. You just love to wear an item you find "cool", with close to zero sense of style. It's fine. Just stop acting like the Flannel University Professor(tm). This is one of the normiest pieces of clothing ever.
>>18309809>such levels of seethingIt's honestly so funny
I used to wear this before a chinese chick told me it looks ugly in 2019
>>18309830It's often very ugly, it depends on the colors and the patterns. These weird rednecks seem to go apeshit when someone points that out.
>>18309834I agree. The problem with the patterns is that they're too big and simple. So the style itself is bad no matter how well it's interpreted. Her pussy was super hairy and stinky and she looked like Jackie Chan but she was right about that.
>>18309828its funny you can't style a flannel but post on a fashion forum. wack zoomerchild.
>>18309836you layer a jacket over them.

what pants to wear with flannels?
>>18310465Suedehttps://jpeterman.com/products/roughstock-suede-pant
>>18310299>something around>arbitrary price pointwhy are poorfags like this? $100 is the worst price point with shirts imo. spend a little more you get something way nicer but they're not cheap enough to be beaters either. whenever i get a shirt that's around $90-100 i can tell things were done to make a price point. usually going to be millenial fit at that price too. not what i want in a shirt. zara and the fast fashion industry rotted a lot of your guys brains its very bizzare to me how people make purchasing decisions based around arbitrary numbers they think something should cost. clothes are better when the manufacturer doesn't cut corners and charges what it costs to make the shirt they want to make. those are the only kinds of brands i'm interested in giving my money to. no knock on vermont flannel though they're dece i sleep in their pajamas every night. >>18310087that is pure unadulterated kino i wish i could get that shirt in not iron heart's fit. >>18310356an eccentric guy? in the fashion industry? no way tell me more.his brand's leather jackets are very nice. some of the best designs and patterns on the market. and they're not all obnoxiously expensive horsehide memeshit.
>>18310472Yea if I'm buying cheap flannels I'm getting 30 dollar flannels from Bass Pro Shops
>>18310472Iron Heart also just isnt that expensive, people just have that perception brcause their international store is marked up to shit.Obviously something is going to be obnoxiously expensive when you're getting charged double (or sometimes more) the price
>>18309087>>18309092Chamois is cotton in 90% of cases.
>>18309792>>18309788What company? Can't read the tag. I like that pattern.
>>18310087I wanted the black overdue blue so bad. But it's sold out in my size.
>>18310746no, chamois is leather 100% of the time because if it isn't leather it isn't chamois.
>>18310753real mccoy'sthe houndstooth flannel is a 1950's staple good tastehere's a pic of a vintage 50's ll bean one lmao its my size too i might have to cop if it checks out as described>>18310727that too. real iron heart prices are very sane for the quality and i'm not a fanboy at all none of their stuff is the fit i wear.iron heart international is totally nigger tier so i get when people berg about it. and a lot of usa/europe repro brands over charge for no good reason (they're pricing the same as japanese brands AFTER tariffs and stockist markup which is total bullshit unless their product's truly special)but jap stuff is IMO actually under priced for the quality level over all. especially now that you can buy from places like hinoya, bears, denimio etc with cheap or free international shipping.jap jeans used to be more expensive overseas but since the death of shinzo abe the government's been a lot more lax on export. so there's stores willing to just bullshit and say they're $10 jeans on export to loophole the completed garment tariffs. you can get jap jeans shipped to your door for like 150 bux now days.
>>18311300>but jap stuff is IMO actually under priced for the quality level over allPretty much this. I'm a big IH fanboy, but even though I can't manage to buy their shit for actual japan prices, I don't give a fuck. I'm still going to buy it because of how incredible it is, nothing compares to it. Beside IH, I exclusively buy all my japan clothing by proxying through Rakuten. I recently bought a pair of Fullcount repros for $200 whereas I'd be spending $350 on the same jeans in the US. $200 seems like a lot to a normie, but honest to God these companies are maybe marking up their clothing by 200% max while Levis will have a 600% markup for a piece of shit pair of jeans. When you decide to just throw down the money for some japan made stuff, the increase in quality is so apparent. There's no going back after that
I vouch for Pendleton wool shirts. If you buy second hand online (loads of listing), only the ones made in USA or Mexico are wool. If the label says anything else, they are cotton and not worth anything. As with anything wool ask for the garment dimensions, as it can shrink if it wasn't washed properly.
>>18310087I actually have this one. Really nice muted color
>>18312307Shows off dog hair like a motherfucker though, I gotta carry a lint roller in my car to get all the hair off
>>18311808older pendleton and filson flannels used are the value kings. also great patterns (EVERYONE copies them) and they're wool.very boxy very traditional fit. i like it others may not.>>18311303i've always had a "i don't want corners cut or compromises i'll pay what it costs" mentality. i think being mechanically inclined ingrained that in me because you learn this logic very fast with tools once you go beyond weekend warrior use levels with them. clothes are no diff in fact if you're a tradie they're literally one of your tools. i always buy the best tool for the job. all iron heart would have to do to get me to pay international nigger prices is make a 40's fit.
>>18312646>all iron heart would have to do to get me to pay international nigger prices is make a 40's fitAgreed 100%. Technically their 634 cut fits me pretty well, but I highly prefer wearing WWII cuts. It's amazing how retarded IH is for also being an incredible brand. Literally 95%+ of jap denim companies provide a wide leg 501 cut. It's like IH is completely incapable of realizing that there are people with muscular thighs or something. In my opinion, they should just ditch the 1955 cut and provide an actual 40s wide leg cut. If they were to do that, they would actually have a wide selection of cuts that work for everyone.
>>18312666i can fit 5" leg opening shit i'm as skinny as it gets but i just like the look and feel of a slouchy sized up pair of classic jeans. low rise kills a lot of brands for me though, i need 10.5"-11" minimum to make it over my hip shelf and i don't like wearing pants off my hips.
>>18312771Yeah, having a wide leg cut is just more comfortable, and the silhouette is actually really nice. Skinny/slim cuts are just completely impractical, there's zero leg mobility
>>18312781that pic is spot on exactly the fit i go for in the leg. i'll go a bit wider too but around that look is my everyday.
>>18312783They're a pair of Fullcount 0105xx in their 15.5 oz denim. I just got a pair, its the main indigo jean at the moment. You can get one off Rakuten for about $200
Got this on ebay. No idea what pattern or what item code it was, but I love it. Just a lucky find in my size.
Pendleton ?
>>18312795Crazy to see Iron Heart flannels absolutely blow up on /fa/ this last year. Honestly the hype is well deserved
>>18312796Yes.>>18312827Whats so special about them? Why are they so expensive? Its just cotton.
>>18304702i have two solid black flannel shirts and one teal/black houndstooth which i'm wearing rn.
>>18312848Part of the reason why they're expensive if because of massive import taxes of goods coming from japan. If you bought the same Iron Heart flannel in japan, it would cost about $200 instead of $350-380. The issue is that Iron Heart has completely niggered their operations so that people in western countries are legally not allowed to purchase their goods directly from japan. That said, the Iron Heart flannel has amazing construction and hardware, perfected cuts, beautiful patterns and colorways, the perfect weight of fabric, and its incredibly comfortable due to the softness of the interior side of the fabric. When you see one in person, there's just a lot of detail in it that you can't really see through photos.
>>18312848>Why are they so expensive? Its just cotton.i don't blame you for making it but that's a really ignorant statement in the sense that a) the input material is far from the complete picture with textile b) there's a huge variation in the quality of cotton out there, good cotton has literally double the staple length of cheap cotton.there's a huge difference just in the brushing process alone with low and high qual flannel and it requires higher quality input material etc all this stuff drives costs up.this isn't really an explanation for iron heart's prices i'm more just talking about textile in general. as other anon said iron heart's prices are high because they nig the international market. their stuff is a lot more sanely priced in japan. i'd say the colors and patterns are a big thing that makes their flannels special they're probably the 2nd or most copied. and that combined with them just being extremely high quality everywhere else. guys who want the end game flannel are willing to pay the ih international nig tax because there aren't really other flannels that compare out there if you like the fit.
>>18309769This sort of gradient pattern is horrendous. It's eyecatching in the worst way possible.
>>18314785that's because it's high contrast. flannel looks far more better in low contrast.
If you dont live within the red please do not wear flannel youll looking out of place and end up looking like some söy
>>18314815yezzir born & raised
>>18314785>>18314789those types of patterns work in streetwear goth boi type fits and on nignogs primarily. i was more trying to showcase variety than post the same sorts of flannels 50 times.
>>18309850This is nice.
>>18312646I exclusively buy Pendleton flannel made in usa. Are iron heart flannels a step up? Hard to imagine, especially since they’re cotton. I also have some Vermont flannel shirts. Some are about 15 years old, so I can’t complain about them.
>>18314875cotton vs wool flannel is like apple and orange.so is the fit. ih is like a modernized fit. vintage pendletons are a super work shirt-y boxy full cut fit. they're both really good fits for what they're trying to be. really depends on your build and how you're planning on wearing he shit which is better its a lot of preference going on too. i like pendletons better for the fit. most guys would prefer the ih fit i'd say. objective qual wise though ih is on another level pics don't do them justice. >exclusively>vintage pendletonvintage filson is like the same qual, same fit & used to get their wool from pendleton. add them to your searches to 2x your choices in tartans. their patterns are kino too. pendleton, filson and iron heart are the brands who get copied the most by everyone else.
>>18314875another way to put it is fit wise pendleton is a true traditional cut work shirt type fit the ih one is a lot more fashion forward type beat. if you're trying to look fly ih if you're trying to split wood in the cold pendleton all day. although both shirts are good for both purposes. wool flannels are going to be more performant for outdoors stuff. high qual cotton flannels will be more rugged and stand up better to repeated washings for workwear tasks. both have their place in my closet personally.
>>18314875I used to exclusively wear Pendleton, but I switched over to IH exclusively a couple years ago. You could definitely argue that wool is going to actually perform and insulate better, but the overall build, cut, patterns, colorways, and feel of the IH flannels are pretty much endgame. You have to consider that although it’s cotton, it’s REALLY nice cotton. They’re not just upcharging because it’s name brand shit. There’s a reason why dudes are willing to pay the insane prices on these. They make a work shirt cut on their flannels too if you prefer the wider, boxier fit
>>18314939I believe it, but I like the feeling of wool. I use it as an outer shirt. Plus it’s hard to beat the $20 price tag for vintage made in usa quality goods. I feel like there are thousands of Pendleton flannels that have been sitting in closets unused for decades. They haven’t been in style since The Beach Boys, not that they’re ever out of style either. It’s just something worn in small towns like where I live. City people don’t get it. They prefer their puff jackets. And I’m happy for that. Next time I’m in Japan for work I’ll check out their flannels though.
>>18304702Nah. I'm a manlet with a v-taper. Anything that fits my chest and shoulders is so long and boxy I become 3/5 torso
>>18309743wtc
>>18312785that entire fit slaps hard
>>18312781>Skinny/slim cuts are just completely impractical, there's zero leg mobilityDepends on where the crotch seam sits. If there's any slouch to the top block at all then you need a wide leg or you'll run out of fabric in the groin before your legs run out of flexibility. If the top block fits well then even a slim jean will offer good mobility. >>18312666>wants a repro cut from IH>gets low rise slim straight digitsYeah it's never happening. 634 also fits me well enough so I won't complain too much. It's also more available since most Western consumers are still hung up on muh taper.I'm also curious how much demand- if any- there is for IH to do a repro cut in nipland. Looking at their jeans on Japanese models, the 634 seems to fit pretty relaxed so it likely scratches that itch domestically. Picrel is a 634z and only looks a little slimmer than how 1947s fit the Sugar Cane model on their website
>>18315227stevenson overall co dominator shirt blue plaid>>18315062i'm manlet with a v taper AND an absurdly high ape index. tucked shirts are a lot easier to get right. get used to tucking your shirts. ready to wear shirts that fit you untucked are going to be few and far between. not just off the rack but within the limits they can be altered. asian brands will fit you the most often. european brands the least often as they tend to be made for slightly longer torsos and slighly taller guys. american brands most won't work but the really slim fit redditor shit might work on you and not look reddit if you're more elf pilled than dwarf pilled. mtm should be easy to get right if you want a modern fit. gl getting any of those brands' templates to work for a more traditional fit without a ton of tweaking.bespoke's the way to go if you know a good tailor or can get booked with one of the big name traveling ones. the uk guys are a good deal cheaper than the italian/french ones usually. the only rtw shirts i have that i wear untucked are from azn brands. jap for $$-$$$ and bob dong (chinese) is good for budget shirts. >>18315256keep in mind when looking at jap fit pics its not just their physiques. they always upsize repro jeans like 1-3 sizes because they like the more historically accurate look (no1 wore jeans tts till like the 1960s+) so the model photos often reflect that.
>>18309814I like this pattern, but would prefer earthier colors. Who makes it?>>18309813Want to drop some less known jap brands that can be purchased in america?
>>18314815Uhm what side of the red are you referring to?
>>18315293>who makes itrats>Want to drop some less known jap brandshttps://wear.jp/ is great for discovery
>>18304702just picked up this one from BEAMS - debating if I should return it or not... just doesn't feel that special for the price I paid. I figure I can find something similar for way cheaper vintage. Any recos on something similar to this shirt?
>>18318317i'm a sucker for the color scheme i have 3 flannels with the same colors but i like that pattern better.
