SF - flannel/lumberjack/buffalo plaid

**bsyde82** · September 18th, 2007, 10:24 AM

what are ppl's thoughts on these type of shirts/patterns? they seem to be pretty prevalent in numerous designer's collections this year

**SuperBobo** · September 18th, 2007, 11:14 AM

I like em. Got a bunch, no designers though..

**lance konami** · September 18th, 2007, 11:26 AM

I like them too. It's just a cyclical thing that ebbs and flows like most things in "fashion."

I like the influence. I feel like SF was a little ahead of the curve on the workwear stuff/trend, but who knows--we're not designing here, just reacting to designs.

I have quite a few plaid shirts, but only one buffalo check--a wool pendleton. I like it, but I admit I feel a little "I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK" when I wear it.

I'll crosspost from the affiliate thread, I like this OAK shirt:

Only if it is genuine. No designer crap.

Is there such a trend? From fashionmags ive mostly seen "grunge" mentioned as hot, which might explain buffalo plaid.. but there seems to be a general trend of utilitarian/"rugged" clothes, combined with the whole "organic cotton" trend/movement. ofcourese, there are denim shirts and buckleback pants at H&M at the moment...

Well, in addition to EG being picked up by more stores (is this just the perception?), flannels are definitely "in," J Crew is selling Red Wings, and this guy was on a DC fashion blog in July.

When a trend has hit J Crew and DC, it may already be over

haha, sounds omnious indeed.

I really havent been aware of Jcrew for that long, being european, and got the impression that have an classic/americana profile.. so what did they sell before this "trend"?

I'm still waiting for this shirt to arrive....i pre-ordered it like a month ago...i guess oak is really backed up or something

as far as j.crew goes...i like them as a cheap(er) alternative...they have some nice flannel shirts, imo, although you run the risk of running into someone w/ the same shirt obviously. but for the most part, most guys are still wearin 7 diamonds and true religions and their brethren and i think those types would scoff at flannel shirts, thinkin its not stylish, which makes me feel safer wearing j.crew ones

Totally IMHO:

Think of mainline Polo but slightly more tasteful (no big pony emblems, logo pants or ties, etc.), better fitting, and a little less well made- though this last one is not universally true.

^^ isnt that pretty much what they do now aswell?

I got my first Flannel shirt, a Redmoon one. Kinda different because it has leather (hoping its leather and not imitation leather since its RM) running on the back of the arm. I think its a great Fall/Winter material / design. Also have a Flannel jacket from BR for like 50 bucks last season.

I'm not a big fan. It's strikes too close to the "farmer" asthetic I enjoy making fun of.

They strike me as being a more casual Banana Republic, atleast on the mens side.
