Heavy flannel shirts.

[Bazoo]

For years I've been wearing Duluth flannel shirts. Today I checked out carhartt flannel shirts in person at tsc. They seemed okay but the fit wasn't as good as I like. I take a 3xlt normally.

So, is there any other brands I should consider?

[Hogtamer]

I bought 3 of the Carharts Sunday at Cabelas. Usually buy XX but went with XL for a good fit. Supposedly pre-washed and don't shrink as much. Bazoo you're a pretty good sized old boy!

[hawkenhunter50]

I really like the Filson Alaskan Guide flannel shirts. They are heavy, warm, soft and long lasting. They are pricey, but I've never had a better flannel.

[wills]

I wish cabella would start selling their canvas shirts.

[Bazoo]

Yes sir I am hogtamer, I'm 6'5" and 360 lbs.

I checked out the filson Alaskan guide shirt. Website I seen says imported but doesn't say where. Canada? China?

Thanks for the replies.

I got 3 of them, 1 from Morrocco, 1 from Sri Lanka, and 1 from El Salvador.

Indeed!

I bought a lot of shirts from Cabela's over the years. Their quality was great and the prices were fair. Now that Bass Pro bought them out their shirts aren't nearly as good. I'm still looking for a new source.

not sure how heavy they are, still wearing ones from last year

[Bazoo]

2 duluth shirts lasted me 5 years. Now they both have small holes and the cuffs are frayed. Course I wear clothes till it looks like I'm homeless.

[marlin39a]

You guys should check out www.dungarees.com. For Carhartt clothing. I’ve been using them exclusively. Great prices, and free shipping on orders over $55.00. I buy a lot of their seconds, and never noticed a flaw. Great website. Bazoo, they have flannel shirts in your size.

[MOA]

Thanks for the site marlin. My canvas and flannels from cabelas are starting to show their age unlike me ( ha,ha). Most all my S/S T-shirts and L/S have all been carhartt since about two years ago. Have some nylon faced hunting pants I use for quail hunting around your area along with bibs and vests but never bought any flannels from them. As I look at the thermometer now it's 14 degrees. Time to get that put on the Santa list for Christmas. Hmmmm, flannels by Carhartt. My favorite type shirt, my favorite type weather, my favorite company, whats not to like.

[LUCKYDAWG13]

you know that Duluth had a 30% off sale and free shipping all weekend

[winelover]

I purchased my last batch of flannel shirts from Legendary Whitetails. I caught them on sale with free shipping, IIRC. I need tall because once you wash flannel the sleeve length tends to shrink. They are imported but most everyone else's are, too. I don't purchase the heavyweights, we don't get that cold here. But their standard weight is much heavier than the Cabela's, Lands End or L.L. Bean' s, I have purchased in the past.

I guess that I am cheap. I buy mine at Pennies when they are on sale.

Me Too! I need a tall size shirt. Cabelas had the best shirts until the Bass Disaster.

[one-eyed fat man]

I just wish someone made a wool shirt as good as the Army's Shirt, cold weather, M1952, OG108. Unless you are a midget, the surplus ones in normal sizes are long gone.

Honestly, the best flannel I own is whatever my wife wants to wear when she's feeling froggy hahah

[Conditor22]

the pricing on most Big and Tall is stupid crazy! Add a couple of inches and double the price :killingpc

[country gent]

I like the insulated flannel shirts when Im out doors. I wore a lot of flannel shirts going to school and out and about. I have several levels of clothes I wear. Good almost new when Im in public, Worn and faded around the house, The "homeless" look when painting or dirty work. The homeless usually dont get washed after that last job just tossed in the trash. I always kept an old frayed holy work uniform in my locker at work, when I got a dirty nasty job I put it on and then when dine threw it away and put the good one back on. Saved me from wearing the nasty one home in my truck and having to wash it.

[Bazoo]

I generally buy two flannel shirts and wear them till consumed then buy two more. I have 5 pair of pants currently and that's an all time high for me. I have 5 t shirts, 2 of which aren't full of holes. I am not a person to have large numbers of clothing.

[Bulldogger]

I have some C.E. Schmidt from TSC that are wearing well. Very heavy though, almost too much for Virginia winters. Another I wear the most is a quilted wool shirt from Northwest Territory. I've had it so long I can't remember where I bought it.

I got some Duluth long tails this past weekend during their 30% off sale using an early Christmas gift card. They are nice weight, and shrank nicely after one wash to fit well (I'm in between Large and Medium, so a lot of clothes I buy Large and purposefully shrink them to "dial them in").

I am lucky - wool does not bother me a'tall. Sometimes it do get cold in the Ozarks, and for that I wear an L.L. Bean wool Maine Guide Shirt, with a duofold (cotton on the inside and wool outside) long handled undershirt under it (L.L. Bean calls it the River Drivers Shirt). I just don't think cotton was meant for warmth. And I am out in the edge of pure dee cotton country - the Arkansas Delta.

[jonp]

Wool Jackets or shirts always meant Johnson Woolen but you are going to pay for them now. Not cheap but I still have my grandfathers jacket and doubt I'll wear it out. I don't wear many long sleeved shirts of any type so LLBean or something like that works for me. Used to wear Duofold underwear but now generally wear the synthetic stuff unless it's really cold then merino wool. Merino wool socks, too. Swear by them.

[panhed65]

I bought a bunch of the wool army shirts years ago in my size for $2.50 each. still fit and most still like new.

Try here:"Super Casuals" Don't know how the prices compare to Dungarees, but you can't wait to pull the trigger. Sometimes they list something that they only have one of a size.

Duluth Trading is OK but I always wait for a decent sale. Recently I bought 4 long sleeve sport shirts marked down from $50+ to $16 ea. I'm already well supplied with Duluth flannel shirts. Don't need heavy wool shirts in Tennessee, at least I don't. If it gets too cold, I stay home. One more advantage of retirement.

[MT Gianni]

Carhart henly 3 button cotton tees are something I really like. Just warm enough without being overly so. Pocket, no collar and they look nice.

There are times when it seems as one feller said "Only thing between the Arkansas Ozarks and the Canadian Arctic is three strands of frozen bobwire".

[shooterg]

ALLAMERICAN CLOTHING has 'em (USA made) occasionally but the large sizes sell out fast at around $60 a piece. They last a long time but seems I need larger ones lately....

[Bazoo]

Well I found some shirts to suit me. I helped clean out a hoarders house. And there was 2 flannel shirts. Lincoln Outfitters. From rural king. The 3xl fits me great. And it’s heavier flannel than anything I’ve ever had. Very warm, very good quality and not very expensive when new. So by Gods blessing k have found a suitable shirt.

[fixit]

Back in the day, before synthetic fleece, cotton chamois(sp?) Used to be the step above flannel
I loved the things, and had several of them, but they aren't as easy to find anymore. They are a tight weave, and do a decent job of shedding wind, but still lets your sweat evaporate up to a fair temperature.

[BrassMagnet]

I followed the Legendary Whitetail link right into a Black Friday sale yesterday.
Yes, I have some goodies coming. I'll soon know if I like their flannels and their chamois. Only one I was interested in came in XL long.
I have problems with the sleeves are almost always way too short.

[edler7]

Since Carhartt went "woke", they lost my business.

I get stuff from Berne now. Their stuff is American made, where a lot of Carhartt is made in Mexico, Vietnam Nam, etc.

[sparky45]

I dumped Carhartt for the same reason. "Go woke; Go broke"

Filsons are good, look at Eddie Bower, I like their shirts, LLBean has some good stuff also.

[BLAHUT]

Best flannel ive bought are Johnson Wool Shirts. You will pay for them but i doubt you will ever wear them out. Wool breathes the hot, stays warm when wet and pulls in the suns heat in the dead of winter. If you want cotton then the LLBean flannel and chamois are pretty darn good

Wool is great, If you are not allerget to wool. Eddie Bower and LLBean chamois are great they come in EX long.

I live just a little bit south of Duluth Minnesota, we haven't had a winter here in a very long time. 20 degs here now with 6/8 inches of new snow with temps going down a little.

[Bazoo]

I don’t know where rural king stands but Their shirts fit.

[Good Cheer]

JC Penney's has a long & tall department that's worth checking on for deals.

Same for me. I try not to support any "woke" business. That being said I am purchased a new 2023 Chevy Silverado with the baby diesel. I don't have any other options for what I am looking for.

[yovinny]

Baileys logging supply for USA made hickory stripe & flannel shirts..
Heavy duty ******* jeans too..
Made heavy duty for doing work thats actually work.

I guess it wont let me use the other name for a mule,, but thats the makers name !! LOL.. ;)

[farmbif]

I got a couple of them flannel button down shirts but this winter I might just get a nice new pair of insulated bib overalls and a new package of tee shirts from Walmart and I'll be all set.

I remember just after moving here to Tennessee I got invited to a hillbilly wedding and wore a button down shirt. I was the only one. I was way overdressed.
every other guy there was wearing genuine dickies bib overalls.
ive since wised up. no tee shirt necessary in summer

got invited to a serious biker wedding years ago, says in the invitation to bring your favorite handgun and plenty of ammo, cause we are going to shoot afterwards. brought a 44 mag with a scope on it and a few boxes of my cast handloads. fairly hot. reception was in a grove outdoors. across the creek were a bunch of steal targets. was a blast, for sure. anyhow where you live sounds like my kind of place.

I thought everyone that showed up to weddings wore camo.... heck I know folks that got married in camo accented dress and tux. Pure white wouldn’t have been appropriate for the woman anyways.

[.45Cole]

check out orvis, woolrich, pendelton, and (interestingly enough) ll bean. Filson was great stuff but at $50 for a $20 bill it's a little overpriced especially since they no longer make 90% of the stuff they sell anymore and the catalog looks like the manly version of victoria's secret.

[GregLaROCHE]

While we are talking about shirts. Where can you get a good deal on plain colored T-shirts? Good quality, heavy, all cotton.

[Bazoo]

I wear carhrartt t shirts. I wouldn’t mind changing but they are easily found.

[NEKVT]

For the heaviest flannel shirts check out Vermont Flannel. Made in the USA from the best flannel material available. Not cheap but top quality.

All cotton is getting to be pure gold.

I won't buy (only wear what I already own - not that stupid) Carhart anymore since they pulled that position on that thing that cannot be named. Even emailed them and never got a response. Just stuck with me wrong.
