Flannel, Carhartt, and beards just go together. If you haven’t gotten your flannel shirt(s) this fall, you will want to start with a Carhartt. There is more to selecting a flannel shirt than just pulling one off the rack. Do you want heavyweight, lightweight, stretch component, full fit, or classic flannel? Color? The options are abundant. Today’s flannel shirts deliver a very stylish look for those who desire the earthy, organic appearance.

Here are our favorite flannel shirts that exude comfort and warmth.

1. LOOSE FIT HEAVYWEIGHT FLANNEL LONG-SLEEVE PLAID SHIRT: NORTH WOODS

Northwoods is available in six color patterns. The loose fit provides you with the range of motion needed to handle all your tasks–from mounting your horse to chopping wood to repairing barb wire fencing. The heavyweight cotton is soft and durable. 

What Makes the North Woods Special?

  • Loose fit comfort
  • 5.6 ounces, 97% Cotton / 3% Spandex flannel
  • Built to move with Rugged Flex® stretch technology
  • Triple-stitched main seams
  • Garment-washed for a soft finish and reduced shrinkage
  • Button-down collar
  • Shoulder pleats
  • Two-button adjustable cuffs with extended plackets
  • Two flap chest pockets with additional left-chest pocket panel for added storage
2. RUGGED FLEX® RELAXED FIT FLANNEL FLEECE LINED HOODED SHIRT JAC: Bluestone

Why did this make the list of our favorite flannel shirts? Two features: the full-coverage hoodie and the fleece lining. Flannel itself offers a level of warmth, but when a fleece lining is added, pure heaven. The elastane stretch flannel makes the Oxblood flannel shirt a go-to when the weather turns brisk.

What Makes the Bluestone Special?

  • Polyester fleece lining 
  • 5.6 ounces, 97% cotton, 3% Ee stretch flannel
  • Built to move with Rugged Flex® stretch technology
  • Three-piece lined hood with drawcord for exceptional fit
  • Spread collar
  • Snap front
  • Two-snap adjustable cuffs with extended plackets
  • Two mitered chest pockets with pen stall on left chest pocket
  • Two front hand warmer pockets
3. RELAXED FIT FLANNEL SHERPA-LINED SHIRT JAC: Asphalt

Who doesn’t love a Sherpa lining? No doubt, this is what made us select this flannel shirt. Because there is no stretch material in this shirt, you won’t experience the “give” found in a shirt with Spandex or Elastane. We selected this shirt for our “out and about” shirt when the weather starts to cool.

What Makes the Asphalt Special?

  • The color pattern is very stylish!
  • Warm Sherpa lining
  • Antique-finish snaps
  • 8 ounces, 100% cotton ring spun flannel
  • Spread collar
  • Two-snap adjustable cuffs with extended plackets
  • Two chest pockets with flaps and snap closures
  • Model Height: 6’2″ Chest Size: 40.5″ Wearing Size: M
  • Model Height: 6’3″ Chest Size: 44.5″ Wearing Size: M
  • Interior chest pocket

4. RUGGED FLEX® RELAXED FIT MIDWEIGHT FLANNEL LONG-SLEEVE SNAP-FRONT PLAID SHIRT: Burnt Sienna

We like to call this our “transition flannel shirt.” The weather doesn’t require a heavy-weight flannel nor does it require a lined flannel. So the related fit mid-weight is ready for your everyday activities or work site. The embedded Spandex flannel provides that give to meet the needs of comfort or working conditions.

What Makes the Burnt Sienna Special?

  • Rugged Flex stretch technology
  • 5.6 ounces, 97% cotton/3% Spandex flannel
  • Triple-stitched seams
  • Pre-washed to reduce shrinkage
  • Spread collar
  • Shoulder pleats
  • Dual-snap adjustable cuffs with extended plackets
  • Two snap-button chest pockets
  • Spread collar
  • Spread collar
  • Shoulder pleats
  • Dual-snap adjustable cuffs with extended plackets
  • Two snap-button chest pockets

So before the snow starts to fall, decide on a flannel shirt or two. No-shave November and Carhartt flannel go hand in hand.
