That holds true with throwback-yet-timeless picks like the henley, the Oxford shirt or the blue jean, as well as one of the best military jackets on the market. And that’s where Relwen once again enters the fray.

Style Pick of the Week: American Giant Vintage Flannel Shirt – The Best USA-Made Flannel Shirt Around

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: They don’t make menswear like they used to, unless the menswear in question comes from American Giant. The company has made waves across the past decade for its steadfast commitment to the best American-made menswear around, doing things the old-fashioned way by sourcing raw materials and fibers in the States, then working with small factories to produce its wares.

Learn more now at American Giant

That’s only part of the story with American Giant, a brand you assuredly know from this blog. Perhaps you recognize them for some of the best workwear pants around, or else one of the best chore jackets — not to mention the iconic American Giant Classic Full-Zip, another fan favorite.

Yes indeed, in my experience, American Giant makes some of the finest, most durable USA-made menswear around — and that extends to today’s featured pick.

Of course, brand does more than just make casual knitwear. In the case of today’s Style Pick of the Week, let’s delve into one of the best American-made flannel shirts, which tends to be a rarity — at least in terms of a shirt you can readily buy online without digging through crates at a vintage store.

The American Giant Vintage Flannel Shirt readily lives up to that name in every way possible, starting with the fact that — like the shirts your grandfather wore — it really is made in America.

In fact, I’ve tried the American Giant Vintage Flannel Shirt in recent weeks, and American Giant has certainly gone the extra mile. The brand worked with the last fabric mill in the States to yarn-dye the buttery soft yet durable cotton flannel fabric, which is then finished with front-button chest pockets — it gives the American Giant Vintage Flannel Shirt an almost shirt-jacket-like feel for maximum versatility.

Shop your new favorite flannel shirt

Plus, your new favorite flannel shirt comes in a trio of rich plaid options for classic style potential, including my personal favorite, the Bonfire Red Plaid number. The buttons feel sturdy and reliable, while the fabric is lightweight and breathable while also still feeling warm enough as a layer (atop a henley and beneath a stylish denim jacket) on breezy spring days.

And the helpful front button chest pockets, durable construction and curved hem give the American Giant Vintage Flannel Shirt the ideal blend of style and utility. How’s that for the best American-made flannel shirt on the market? Get yours (in one or multiple colors) while it’s still around.

The Thursday Buy: This Billy Reid Organic Cotton Henley is a Perfectly Breezy Spring Layer

Even when shopping around for some of the most rugged style essentials, be it a waxed trucker jacket, a great pair of durable stylish blue jeans or yes, one of the best men’s henleys, I tend to look for quality picks from brands I can trust — spending to invest a bit always pays off.

And yes, even the more seemingly casual picks in your wardrobe (again, like one of the best men’s henleys) can be made with next-level quality and consideration, as with the Billy Reid Organic Cotton Henley.

Part of the always stylish Billy Reid New Arrivals section, the Billy Reid Organic Cotton Henley makes you rethink what a henley can be, from its construction and fabrication to its materials and even its sense of style.

And for spring days that might start sunny but can quickly turn breezy, a helpful layer like the Billy Reid Organic Cotton Henley — whether paired with a classic zip hoodie or your favorite denim jacket — is a must-have. Organic pima cotton makes the difference, providing some subtle depth and texture for what Billy Reid calls an “elevated” take on a classic. And yes, the iconic menswear brand is absolutely correct about that.

Billy Reid Organic Cotton Henley review.

Think of the Billy Reid Organic Cotton Henley as a style splurge that pays dividends — it’s a henley you can even dress up with a lightweight blazer and tobacco chinos, for instance. And note that your new favorite henley also features a four-button placket for a slightly more refined look and feel than other henleys you might rock as a base layer in workwear situations.

Plus, this stylish men’s henley comes in rich colors like Olive, and even boasts finishing touches like smoke mother-of-pearl buttons and an eye-catching clamshell neckline.

As the company says, it’s a lighter-weight version of its iconic Alaskan Guide Shirt, which is typically made with burlier, thicker fabric to serve as a hard-working overshirt or even a mid-layer in especially brisk conditions.
