What are some of your favorite flannels and what makes a flannel good? What flannels are you excited to be wearing this fall and into the winter?
There's a range of 'farm stores' in my area which is the exclusive place to get good flannel.
I got one from Orvis last year at Costco. It’s not the traditional pattern but rather a solid deep green. It’s nice and thick 100% cotton with a brushed exterior. It feels absolutely great to wear and I can’t wait! It just needs to get a little colder.
I have flannel bikini briefs. I’ll be cold, but sexy.
Outdoor Research makes my favorite flannels. They're expensive (I typically buy from them during sales), but they are so well made and comfortable. And they somehow don't hold onto dog fur as badly as some others tend to.
The problem with rubbing elbows is that if two of you have patches like this, the friction may start a fire.
Duluth Trading Company makes my favorite flannels. Heavyweight and lightweight (I always get 100% cotton), and the large buttons are a plus. The underarm gusset and larger tail are awesome too.
The fabric makes the flannel, so let's get that clear from the jump. And a good flannel fabric has a nice, soft nap. Double brushed is good, but not always necessary. Solid or plaid, but I prefer a bold fall color like red or orange; buffalo plaid is a reliable choice.
Try Johnson Woolen Mills for a good product at sub $100 price.
