I don't know of any single quality company that produces solid flannel shirts every season, but searching 'solid flannel' can't hurt.

solid flannels look pretty frumpy if they don't fit correctly, and they won't fit you correctly without tailoring. just my opinion though.

firstly let's get the terminology right. Flannel is a fabric, and no the fabric, flannel itself, isn't pleb. it's one of the comfiest casual fabrics.

if you're referring to the pattern commonly found on flannel shirts, tartan, it's a very polar thing to try to wear because of the mashup of colours they come in, or the association the common red colourway has with the stereotypical lumberjack.
creating a palette for an outfit with tartan isn't easy, but if you can do it without creating overt harsh contrasts it adds a lot of personality to your look. This is more of an mfa mentality vs the dark infallible style /fa/ tries to embody.

In the end, everybody's got an opinion, and since nobody's even talking about the right thing, none of them really matter.

Wear them if you like them, just don't ever expect to get /fa/s unanimous approval.

this..
isaora's tech 3l will have to do to fill the void, as long as they have a reiteration of it for fw13

>one without the other leads to mfa-style fits and being seen as a tryhard.

usually trying to impress people is what leads to mfa and 'tryhard'.
a true fashion orientated wardrobe would never result in either mfa or tryhard. on the contrary, trying to impress people can alter a wardrobe in ways that might make it seem tryhard, whereas devoting yourself to either yourself, your lifestyle and your influences is the exact opposite of tryhard. it just may or may not look stupid in the context of today.

the art of impressing people and the art of clothing are only connected by one non-mutual degree. this board being primarily devoted to the latter doesn't necessarily care about both.

three options

tailor everything.
wear very stretchy clothes (especially things with more horizontal stretch and less/no vertical stretch
if the two above can't be achieved, at least make sure the chest measurement fits, but not if it compromises the shoulder seam
buy raglan shirts and sweaters to avoid problems with ill fit in the shoulder, then you just need to make sure your chest fits.
the less the fabric on your chest fits, the more blousing you'll get.

if all else fails, buy a stretchy, but not form fitting thermal henley.

can anyone help me find an insulated ma1, that doesn't make me look like a tool bag?

I think something with a less synthetic shell would help, heavy wool/cotton instead of nylon polyester. no luster.

minimal puff, but enough to define it as more than just one or two flat layers.

If you wanted a coat with relatively the same style as a peacoat but with a single breast, what would you google?
whether it's incorrect or not, designers will label their items for this age, not 1850-1950. consistency doesn't exist in the evolution of anything especially language, and this discussion is almost completely semantic now. you could google single breasted coat, and I have done it many times last year when I was interested in purchasing one, though ultimately I didn't, I did find that that was the term most commonly used by designers for what appeared to be the most similar item, a single breasted pea coat styled coat.

trenchcoats are aesthetically very different.
You could go on to say that peacoats should never be clashed with a single breast style, because it's 'inaccurate' or 'not consistent', but again styles have evolved, and it is in demand now, that is why large names like Burberry label them as such.

>there military traditions are entirely separate
yet they are both military in nature, thus the comparison. in this fashion world scroutinizing details beyond their Modern interpretations is ostentatious. We're not even wearing them because we're in the military, there is no relevance to these styles today except for the fact that they have influenced the fashion world to produce pieces in similar styles. comparing one military jacket and implying that it is more refined than another military jacket isn't a crime.
and they are not in any way substitutes for each other, I never said that. I specified one is a refined version of the other. I know why you don't want that to be said or to be true, and you can tell me I'm interpreting all these words incorrectly, but I'm concerned with application a lot more than definitions, and these definitions fail to apply to our current fashion world consistently. If the context were clothing history, it'd be great to point that out to me, but OP just wants a jacket.

you have a better understanding of the history of some of this, but you're weighing in too heavy with the formalisms. a single breasted peacoat may not be traditionally correct, but I'm sure you know this is the way things go.
I'm not sure why you brought suit jackets into the equation, I fail to see what you're trying to say.
I mentioned 'suit version' as a colloquial term to be interpreted by the OP as 'upscale' or 'refined'

and yes, you can't determine what OP wants exactly. you could ask, but if you've ever tried helping somebody on this board you might have noticed that suggesting and prodding can help produce a forum to better the OP come to a conclusion on a particular item.
he might respond with 'I need something warmer, cheaper, that's ugly,' etc,
My suggestion was less gimmicky but very similar in warmth and construction to his image, not very fashion forward.

somebody who isn't informed and needs help with something sometimes doesn't know what questions need to be asked, suggestion helps.

>it's not a pea coat if it's single breasted
what's this?
>m-65s have no relation to pea coats, except that they're both garments

except they're both military garments, which is why I made the comparison of the peacoat being like a suit version of the m65, because it's refined, how did you miss that?

best part is that you tried to invalidate my advice without giving any of your own. I mean what if you actually tried to help? are you afraid of these shits judging you?

out of all the damn jackets I own, I still come back to it because it's a simple masculine casual jacket
if you could come up with an alternative in the same boundaries (style, cost), it would actually mean something, but I know you won't.

>m65's are shit

m65's are like bombers, you're calling a massive style of jacket shit, even rick makes m65s. fuck anything with four symmetrical pockets, two on the breast and two on the waist, and a longer cut, is an m65, and even that isn't a strict definition.

peacoats, like the cdb were something /fa/ picked up when it shouldn't have. they were trendy, but pretty terrible.
mind you, a single breasted peacoat is extremely versatile and refined looking, it's basically the black suit version of an m65.
or you could get the non-black non-suit version of a single breasted peacoat, the renowned m65.

post your pea/trenchcoat for further analysis.

you'll probably get recommended a bomber. bomber's are the new peacoat for the last couple years and, unlike the peacoat, they're nice.
for a workwear style, there are carhartts, pricier items from filson will last you and look great but size down.
my personaly cheap favourite a brown corduroy levis jacket. great levi's fit without the denim look.

what you've posted is hideous btw.
