Urban Flannel Fusion

The relaxed, oversized flannel shirt just walked out of a John Hughes film and enrolled at a liberal arts college. But the best thing about this modern take on a classic shirt is the hood - half lumberjack, half laid-back uni student in one satisfying button-down package. The woven plaid body is crafted from an ever-so-soft blend of polyester and cotton, with a touch that’s more Sunday morning than bushwalking trek. Big-button cuffs give you leeway to roll up your sleeves and mean business - or just play darts at the pub. Two functional flap pockets at the chest keep it all right where you want it.

But let’s be real - the stitched-on, jersey hood means you get to throw a bit of attitude on top of whatever you’re wearing underneath. This shirt was made for those who treat layering like a sport or care more about what records are playing than what people think. And yes - it’s got drawstrings. Pull them tight, pop it under a denim jacket or even as outerwear for those rare times when spring forgets to show up. Is it too much? Never. It’s the drama of 90s grunge but with pocket space for your phone. Pair with battered jeans and you’ll have everyone nostalgic for their misfit days in detention.
