Flannel is cool but so many of them are either ugly plaids or they look like L.L. Bean. Would love to see some very lightweight flannel with interesting patterns. Even a subtle nail head or hounds tooth or a floral could work. Per gingham, it is what it is. I'm sure we will still see a shit load of it but it is well on the way to being played out. I would like to see smaller checks and more Trad/Mod type gingham checks and colors. Oh yeah, I'll +1 the call for western, dot, and floral patterns. In fact how about a cream colored lightweight flannel with floral print in a western cut. Do something cool w/the buttons.
