Best flannel shirts for guys.

As you very well might have seen across the World Wide Web this week, it’s quite cluttered out there when it comes to the best Black Friday menswear and gear deals. That’s not a bad thing, especially if you enjoy reading this Brooklyn style blog day in and day out, as there’s certainly no shortage of interesting, fashionable and functional selections for men across the board — that very much includes the hard-working flannel shirt shown at the top of the page, but more on that in a second, my friends.

But it can be helpful to cut through the clutter from time to time, and that leads us back to one of the best online menswear shops for guys — that’d be Huckberry, of course, a wise place to shop if you want a more tightly curated selection of handsome, stylish, durable and dependable #OOTD picks and adventure-ready gear. Where else would ya go, right?

And while the digital closet and shelves, so to speak, at Huckberry are plenty well-stocked when it comes to a seasonal essential like the best men’s flannel shirts, there are a few particularly eye-catching options up for grabs at the moment heading into Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Let’s start with the Howler Brothers Harkers Flannel Shirt and go from there, shall we?

The Howler Brothers Harkers Flannel Shirt is up for grabs at a 30 percent discount just days ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and it’s the sort of flannel shirt that separates the wheat from the chaff in your shirting rotation, one might say.

Durable metal buttons team with reinforced elbows for a sturdy fit and finish, while the right shoulder also gets a reinforced yoke for outdoor pursuits aplenty. Naturally, the Howler Brothers Harkers Flannel Shirt comes in a range of classic, warm plaid color combinations, and is given the script Howler Brothers logo treatment at the back shoulder for a personalized touch.

Whether you pair up your new favorite flannel shirt with expertly faded denim or with sturdy canvas work pants, the Howler Brothers Harkers Flannel Shirt is a worthwhile, on-sale addition to your next casually rugged #OOTD.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Stretch Knit Flannel Shirt – Your New Everyday Shirting Essential

It’s hard to go wrong with a closet packed chock-full of style essentials you can trust day in and day out, but the challenge is building out that closet, like a menswear toolbox, is it not?

And yet, therein lies the fun of the menswear world: When you’ve carefully curated your wardrobe in terms of quality, style and effortlessly classic appeal, as with gear from my friends at Huckberry, the options are nearly limitless and the style potential keeps on going and going.

I’ve certainly found that to be the case over the years with Huckberry’s Flint and Tinder lineup, an offering focused on rugged menswear and gear that just won’t quit. And if you’ve read this Brooklyn style blog and my Flint and Tinder reviews, you know that the brand is famous for quality and timeless, enduring style — including its waxed trucker jackets, of course, and its new lineup of the best men’s flannel shirts.

The Flint and Tinder Stretch Knit Flannel Shirt is the latest and greatest shirt to join that rotation, featuring rugged good looks, modern fabric and that sense of classic style you can only get from the best flannel shirts for men. Call it a modern spin on a classic, as we so often love to write about and wear — at least in my neck of the woods.

And in my experience with Flint and Tinder flannel shirts, you’re getting rich quality, durability and classic good looks in one package — just in time for the holiday season, when the right flannel shirt can pull double or triple duty with expertly faded blue jeans, corduroy trousers and even a soft-shouldered navy blazer and charcoal flannel dress pants.

The hits certainly keep rolling when it comes to the Flint and Tinder Stretch Knit Flannel Shirt and its rich array of color options in terms of style points, while four-way stretch knit fabric and a contrasting collar and cuffs work together for the perfect balance between form and function.

The Flint and Tinder Stretch Knit Flannel Shirt also features dual chest pockets for a blend between a shirt jacket and a traditional flannel buttondown, and the weight of the shirt itself should prove hearty and prime for layering atop thermal henleys and chambray shirting alike.

The Flint and Tinder Stretch Knit Flannel Shirt also hits the nail on the head in matters of style points: Just one look at the eye-catching array of plaid colorways is enough to make you want to stock up. That’s what the season is all about, at least if you ask me: Finding the pieces you love to wear, then making ’em work for you, and the Flint and Tinder Stretch Knit Flannel Shirt gets the job done handily in that regard, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: This Schott Plaid Flannel Shirt is an All-Time Classic for the Holidays (and Beyond)

Here at your favorite Brooklyn style blog, we talk often about brands you can trust, brands you can rely on to craft some of the best men’s style essentials in virtually any situation. And at a time when the chaos of the holiday season reaches a fever pitch, shouldn’t it be dressing simply and stylishly that helps you cut through the clutter?

And back to brands you can trust and rely on: Today’s featured pick comes from legendary outerwear purveyors Schott NYC, a company that continues to blend rugged moto heritage with a classic outlook, resulting in tasteful selections like the Schott Cotton Plaid Flannel Shirt.

Just your average flannel shirt, this is decidedly not — as with all things Schott, like one of the best leather moto jackets on the market (a personal favorite and an icon in its own right, at least in my experience).

Best flannel shirts for men.

It’s part of a selection of gifts from Huckberry that run the gamut, especially when it comes to buying gifts for guys who are impossible to shop for (I myself feel this way about my own taste!).

And yet, the Schott Cotton Plaid Flannel Shirt veers just slightly from the norm in terms of the best men’s flannel shirts, with details like an eye-catching plaid color scheme in a distinct combo, plus more classic flannel shirt touches, like front button chest pockets.

Schott NYC men's plaid flannel shirt review.

The Schott Cotton Plaid Flannel Shirt is modeled after iconic flannel shirts from decades past, with the sort of wear-with-anything adaptability that should pair nicely with everything from a Schott moto jacket to a more casual winter wool blazer in a solid color.

That sort of versatility makes the Schott Cotton Plaid Flannel Shirt a wise move for the guy who loves flannel shirts, rugged outdoor gear and timeless style — it’s an investment in the best, one that the well-rounded man will certainly appreciate it.

And if it tickles your fancy, then the Schott Cotton Plaid Flannel Shirt should likely become a part of your own holiday menswear wardrobe, too. Good luck out there this season, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: This Is Your New Everyday Flannel Shirt from Huckberry and Flint and Tinder

Flint and Tinder flannel shirt review.

In my experience, a guy’s wardrobe of men’s style essentials needs rugged, cozy yet versatile options aplenty across the brisk months of autumn, and that certainly holds true even if you find yourself splitting time between home and the office.

For fall weekends galore, for those casual days at home and for nearly every time in between (See: Weekend coffee outings and whiskey bar visits), a reliable flannel shirt can work wonders when it comes to classic, flattering style. The even better news, as you might expect, is that Flint and Tinder has just the one you need now.

Shop fall must-haves from F&T

Heck, depending on the sort of office you work in, you might even be able to get away with wearing one of the best flannel shirts from Huckberry, like the ever-reliable Flint and Tinder Midweight Flannel Shirt shown above (I’m wearing one right now as I type this).

We’ve talked lately about versatile buttondown shirts from Flint and Tinder, the sort that more closely resemble an Oxford shirt (like the F&T Architect Shirt), but this particular number is a bit more casually rugged — and no less essential when it comes to your wardrobe.

In my book, the Flint and Tinder Midweight Flannel Shirt checks the proper boxes as far as a modern update to the traditional flannel shirt is concerned. Those boxes include the right fabric, which in this case is a 7.6oz., custom-developed 100 percent cotton flannel — not as dressy as an Oxford shirt, not as heavy as a burly Flint and Tinder shirt jacket.

Raglan-stitched sleeves give you room to move and room to layer — useful as you gear up for fall road trips, and even more useful if you’d like to rock the Flint and Tinder Midweight Flannel Shirt atop a base layer, like a henley. Crucially, this handsome flannel shirt comes in an oversized-yet-timeless, bold plaid in three distinct variations, and the brushed flannel exterior should prove ultra-soft and supremely comfortable.

Best flannel shirts for men to buy now.

It’s the kind of rugged, hard-wearing choice that makes every guy look casually cool in laidback style situations — even if your office for the day happens to be your favorite coffee shop. Join the club and join me in wearing one of the best men’s flannel shirts for fall — the season is upon us, after all.

The Thursday Buy: This Le Alfre Flannel Shirt is a Refined Take on a Classic

Best flannel shirt for men.

At least in my neck of the woods (the frigid winter confines of Brooklyn, that is), I value reliability, warmth, comfort and style — especially when it comes to the best flannel shirts on the market. But in the doldrums of winter, it can prove tricky, at times, mix up your style rotation consistently.

And yet all the while, you still want to retain that critical balance of warmth, style, comfort… you name it. And that’s where Le Alfre arrives to save the day in matters of menswear.

Shop men’s shirts now at Le Alfre

The young New York City brand already makes one of the best Oxford shirts on the market, using high-quality fabric and production via a family-owned factory in Portugal, one that makes some of the finest shirts on the planet. And the Le Alfre Blackwatch Flannel builds on that pedigree in a distinct way, one that’s a nice change of pace from other classic flannel shirts on the market.

Le Alfre men's shirts.

Le Alfre took the classic “banker’s shirt,” with a contrasting collar and cuffs, and put a fun, fresh spin on the look — turning it from a dress shirt into one you can even rock untucked with chinos or perhaps with a rugged shawl cardigan. And the Le Alfre Blackwatch Flannel fits the bill nicely in terms of eye-catching style. It comes from the company’s partners at Portugal’s oldest shirting mill, and it’s handmade by the country’s oldest shirtmaker, and things only get better from there.

The Le Alfre Blackwatch Flannel boasts a lightweight, super-soft handfeel that should prove comfortable on its own, yet well-suited to layering over one of the best men’s henleys, for instance. And because the style is modeled after timeless Oxford shirts, it’s got a more refined look and feel than flannel workshirts, for instance.

Taken altogether, it’s an updated take on the flannel shirt that works as well with dark blue jeans as with your favorite chinos. And for winter style with variety in mind, you can’t quite top the Le Alfre Blackwatch Flannel, my friends.

The Friday Read: Fall’s Best Men’s Style Essentials From Taylor Stitch & More

Taylor Stitch fall menswear 2023.

My friends, let’s close out “the week that was” in fine form, first by taking a look at some of the best fall style essentials on the market. Those fall style essentials, if you’ve been keeping up with the blog the past few days, come from a plethora of places, but namely: Taylor Stitch. As I always say, a reminder can be more than helpful at times in the menswear world, right?

Shop Taylor Stitch now

Of course, the San Francisco menswear masters are a personal favorite brand of mine (and one I’ve covered extensively on the blog over the years). They craft everything from rugged-yet-soft flannel shirts to expertly crafted denim, chinos and hard-working outerwear.

Why, I wrote about the rugged and simply excellent new Taylor Stitch x Danner Ridge Boots only earlier this week, and they could very well be your new favorite pair of fall boots. Yes indeed, this fall weekend is a prime time to shop the brand.

I’d wager you don’t need me to tell you twice, but shopping for the best fall menswear should only be part of your equation this weekend. In fact, if I were you, I’d consider bolstering my bar cart with the warming spice of Ancho Reyes chile liqueur.

Add Ancho Reyes to your bar cart ASAP

This recommendation isn’t out of left field: If you follow me on Instagram, you’re well aware that I trekked South of the Border this week to see the chile fields of Puebla, tour the Ancho Reyes operation and of course, sip on two Ancho Reyes expressions while staying at the excellent Hotel La Purificadora. This is all part of my many freelance writing pursuits, including covering spirits (and much more!) over at Maxim.com.

You’ll have to stay tuned for more from this trip in the weeks ahead, but know that it was a vibrant, colorful getaway — one that made me grateful for the high heat and sun of Mexico, and yet all the more ready for a stylish fall in Brooklyn (and all the more ready to wear pieces like that stylish cardigan shown above!).

On that note, I’m signing off to go browse over at Taylor Stitch (and I recommend you do the same!), and you can find me back here tomorrow for Saturday’s Style Pick of the Week. Cheers and thanks for reading, as always!

The Thursday Buy: This Todd Snyder Plaid Flannel Shirt is a Throwback Style Classic

It seems like only yesterday we were talking about the Todd Snyder End of Summer Sale, and with a snap of your fingers (or perhaps the opening of a cold can of beer), we’re already talking about the best fall style essentials from the famed American designer himself.

As you’ve perused the pages of this blog over the years, have you picked out any wish list favorites from the NYC-by-way-of-Iowa designer?

In my experience, I’ve always loved the rugged-meets-refined feel of Todd Snyder flannel shirts — the flannel is soft and warm, easy to layer and always flattering. That’s certainly the case with this latest round of fall shirting from Todd Snyder, and the Todd Snyder Plaid Flannel Buttondown (especially in rich and rugged red-and-black) fits the bill quite nicely on all fronts.

Todd Snyder flannel shirt review.

It’s made with plenty of Snyder-approved details, like a distinctive button-through chest pocket and a classic buttondown collar a la your trusty, summer-ready Oxford shirt. And while the Todd Snyder Plaid Flannel Buttondown is pricy compared to other men’s flannel shirts on the market, it’s a touch more refined.

It can be worn on its own with crisp dark blue denim, styled beneath your favorite winter blazer with tobacco-colored chinos, or paired with a henley and Wolverine boots for a dash of rugged fall style. You can’t top that sort of versatility and quality, and the Todd Snyder Plaid Flannel Buttondown should offer up plenty of bang for your buck.
