Heavy flannel shirts - 10/06/20 04:26 AM

I have always liked heavy flannel but it has been a challenge to find them the past few years. I just bought a few of these shirts and they are outstanding. 9 oz flannel, not only heavier than Duluth, Cabela's, Carhart and Dickies but cheaper. The icing on the cake is these are made in USA and the others are not.

Any comment on arm length? I find that can tend to be an issue with flannel shirts, doesn't help being a bit of a knuckle dragger.

I’m a big fan of Big Bill shirts! Best flannels ever.

I normally wear large talls because I like the length...but I buy Large in Big Bills because the are pretty long in the non-tall sizes.

They do shrink a little.

I really liked when Duluth had their burlyweight flannels in the trim fit. I am not a big guy and I like the slimmer fitting shirts. I hate buying flannels that fit well in the shoulders but feel like a tent at the waist. I haven't seen the burlyweights on their site in a year or two though. May have to check out the Big Bills. Thanks for the headsup.

You might have to look for a Canadian manufacturer. They manufacturer for the average dude here at 32" waste and 54" chest. grin

I’m 6’1” and don’t feel the need to buy tall for the arm length. But if you have really long arms you may want to get the tall size

I'm even less evolved than you....I still have T-Rex arms and tend to cuff my sleeves.

I typically want a 3XLT I find if I try a 4X it is for some guy with a 60 inch waist and stubby little arms

I guess I am in the if I wasn't tall my knuckles would be dragging crew
