Untucked length is a bit shorter. Essentially, it won't cover your @$$ if you decide to wear it untucked. Which, I assume, also means it will easily pull out of your pants if you attempted to wear it "tucked". I have no experience with these, just my assumptions.

I just ordered a first Vermont Flannel. I am excited. I have not bought a flannel shirt in decades. The one in my closet I usually grab on cool but not cold days is from Britches of Georgetown, defunct a long time.

I am going to make a prediction that it will become one of your favorites...

I've been ordering Orvis flannel shirts from Costco. Orvis shirts are heavyweight and are great quality. They only negative is the color selection is only four. The best part is when they are on sale they are $14.99. $5.00 off the regular price. Shipping included

There is something to be said for buying cheap flannel shirts and wearing them hard in all circumstances until they wear out, and then getting more.

I once bought (from a clearance outlet at significant discount) a flannel shirt from Dunhill. The fabric is very fine and wonderful texture, and the buttons (IIRC) are real pearl rather than plastic. Very high quality of manufacture. It would have cost a lot at regular price, and still was a bit spendy on discount.

But I'd never wear it for hauling firewood.

Shirt from Vermont Flannel arrived. The flannel is thick, soft, and luxury. The detailing is excellent. I am a fan and thrilled to have a MiUSA option.

You ain't helpin' my wallet much friend!

I am so sorry. I got about twenty years from my last flannel shirt. On a cost per wearing it has not been bad.

Sounds nice - can you share how it fit vis a vis what you expected? Thanks - Farmer Tan wants to know too I note - Michiganders be picky about their flannels since we're in them through May ..

Fit is as specified. Precise. No slack. More fitted than baggy. If you like them loose, I'd size up.

I notice that Brooks Brothers is selling their flannel shirts for about 50% more than Vermont Flannel shirts. $98 vs. $68

I am sorry. I have not considered Brooks Brothers seriously since the '80s. I do, however, love Vermont Flannel.

Vermont Flannel sounds like a good company, they just don't make my size.

Prefer a button down collar- they don't seem to offer that detail

I love LL Bean's flannel. Quality is outstanding and the cost is reasonable (IMO).

Eddie Bauer makes some nice stuff too.

Filson makes outstanding flannel, but you're probably going to pay 2-3x more than LL Bean's shirts.

Duluth makes great stuff, but I struggle with sizing on some of their clothes.

LL Bean offer flannel button-down collars.

My favorite used to be Woolrich. They were expensive but they made these real heavyweight Chamois shirts that I liked. They've changed their product line and trying to appeal to a new customer. They opened a store in Soho in NYC.

Yeah that's why most of mine are from Freeport .. I like the button down and also the authentic tartans they offer. Additionally, old LL doesn't cross the plaids on the pockets like the cost-cutters do .. showing an attention to detail that escapes some of the boutique buys
