Call them what you will: Winter button-downs, flannels, plaid shirts, they’re one of the most popular shirting options out there. Thousands of styles, even more varieties of patterning to choose from, from pretty much every brand in our niche of fashion. What does the staff at Heddels think about flannels? Are we strictly wool flannel, or are lighter-weight styles preferable?
Why trust us? Well, we’ve all been in the game long enough to have field-tested a range of quality clothing, and the Heddels operation puts us onto some of the best clothing in the world week in, week out. Whilst our opinions and experiences shouldn’t be taken as definitive, this series will provide you insight into what has worked for us and why.
Zach – Pendleton Buffalo Check Wool Flannel
Pure wool flannel—there’s something to be said for this insulating material when it comes to shirts. By comparison, I’ve owned a pile of cotton flannel shirts. The winter wind cuts through a cotton outer layer like cold steel. Wool also won’t fade in the wash and shrugs off wrinkles like trees shrug off fresh snow. Believe me, there’s a reason that—once upon a time—the word “flannel” implied “wool.” Pendleton is part of the reason for this association because they’ve been making flannel shirts for almost a century. This season’s “Scout” line of shirts continues the legend.
The color choices are equally as nice. I’ve seen no less than four other “buffalo check” shirts in the last two days. What started as “Rob Roy”—a black-on-red Scottish tartan—has become the ultimate flannel pattern. It’s now the pattern of the 2023 autumn season. Pendleton has woven a fitting tribute; strong but with a smooth hand. The fabric is so well woven, that the collar feels comfortable against my neck even while hiking. If you already wear wool shirts, you’ll know what a big deal that is!
The Scout shirt is available from Pendleton for $175.
