Fall’s Favorite Fabric
Prepare to live in flannel for the next few months

Finally, after weeks of waiting, we can say it: Fall is here. If the transitionary wardrobe hasn't already been swapped in, now's the time to get on that. Short pants and short sleeves should be getting packed away, but as one sartorial door shuts, a window is opened to let in the cool, autumnal breeze. Your seasonal uniform just isn't complete without a classic piece of menswear. Yup, you guessed it ... flannel. The fabric is generally considered the great unifier: whether your style leans workwear or black tie, Subaru Outback or Mercedes C-Class, low key or avant-garde, flannel is one of the go-to fabrics for the season. Versatile enough to be worn as a base, mid, or outer layer, flannel can really do it all. It pairs well, looks great, and most importantly, feels amazing all day long.

The More You Know
Flannel has long been a working mans game, as the fabric was originally designed in the seventeenth century for farmers and herders in Wales. Luckily, the same dense, napped finish that provided warmth and durability for sheep owners, cowboys, and truckers alike doubles as a pretty damn good mid-layer, even if you’re in the range, not on it.
