For dirty cheap flanel I actually like Wrangler flanel shirts if you're on the short size they can run a bit long though. For expensive flanel I like Iron heart or Flat head.

I see that you're korean, so if you are an lanky asian dude like myself, these thrift store flannel varieties will not work unless you like oversized flannels or are willing to spend alot of money on tailoring.

i agree. i've scored many a woolrich, pendleton, and such thrifting. most often you'll need to have them altered though.

yeah, but you are still saving a ton of money over buying them brand new. And since the whole flannel/workwear look is essentially emulating a look of the past, why not get pieces actually from the past you know.

Question about the tailored flannel... If this aesthetic is based off of workwear, shouldn't the fit be a little baggy or ill-fitting?

Woolrich flannels are a good buy even at regular price.

Bunch of 'lo flannels are on sale right now on the RL website.
