Lumberjack shirt – soft checked flannel that lasts three seasons

Warm enough without being bulky

A long-sleeved checked flannel shirt, cut generously rather than tailored. It has two front pockets, and you can wear the collar open or closed. The pattern pairs with jeans, chinos, or the jacket hanging by the door.

Why choose this shirt?

Most shirts are warm or comfortable, rarely both at once. Cotton flannel sits somewhere in between: soft, lightly insulating, and thin enough to keep wearing when the afternoon warms up. It also looks just as good in year five as it did in year one.

• Collar open or closed: the folded collar sits neatly in either position, so the shirt stays casual or looks more polished.
• Front storage: two sturdy chest pockets for a wallet, phone, or pen.
• Cotton fabric: a flannel weave that feels soft and provides light warmth.
• A check that goes with everything: a subtle pattern that works perfectly under a jacket.
• Light insulation: thin enough for spring and warm enough for a mild winter day.

The shirt you reach for when the day could still go either way.

Wear it open as a light layer or buttoned up as a shirt on its own. Wash it on a cold cycle and hang it to dry to keep the pattern crisp and the weave supple. Over time, the flannel will develop a slight nap, and that is part of its character.
