Hey /fa/, can we get some workwear inspo? Mainly looking for the flannel shirt/ jeans kind of look. On a side note, does flannel ever really go out of style? Seems like it's ever present, albeit with slightly changing pattern types

Also, what are some good places to find cheap, comfortable flannel?

>> No.8696332

>>8696324
LL Bean has nice flannels for pretty cheap. They are probably the best sub $100 flannel new. They are cut kind of weird though. Uniqlo gets reccomended a lot but I don't have any experience with them

I've honestly never been in my local thrift store other than to donate gently used clothes that I outgrew when I was younger. After seeing so many people talking about them on here though, I need to check it out. Pretty small town though, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Dude honestly some of my best finds were in small towns. Especially when it comes to rugged/workwear items. Not as many people focusing on fashion in small towns, so you'll have plenty to choose from I bet.

>> No.8696403

>>8696310

Yes it does go out of style.

also flannel is a confusing term b/c imo this >>8696324 and >>8696343 aren't really flannels, they just have a similar pattern but they're just shirts.

Exactly what defines flannel? I thought it referred to any cotton/wool fabric or combination of the two woven in a specific way.

>> No.8696434

>>8696418
You're spot on with the definition. The pattern is called tartan and other shirts that aren't made of flannel can have the pattern printed on them.
