So I bought a Iron Heart Green 138 Work Shirt which is a lite weight fabric (6 oz). But the shirt looks more substantial (I think because of the type of cotton used, Aspero) www.ironheart.co.uk/shirting/ihsh-138.htmlIt's marketed as a Spring/Summer shirt. If you saw a guy wearing this in July/August, on a 75 degree evening, what would you think? Any no "wear what the hell you want" post. Have an opinion. |

On a cool or mild summer night, hell yea man. Wear it. In mid-day temps of >80 degrees, ummm...no.

Geography. Take Phoenix for example. If I ever happened across an establishment in the summer where my friend, the mythical ickes, was partaking in an evening out with a lucky lady (preferably wiener dog free) and I spot him in his head-to-toe IH ensemble, wearing some plaid flannel (lightweight) paired with a heavyweight denim, I'd say he's nuts.  I agree with Dev, in the evenings, right locations, why not. Especially back east - lots of great evenings to sit out by a fire pit, etc., so why not grab a flannel? |

In a cool breeze it's more than appropriate, but it would likely be uncomfortable under sunlight. If you're in the south or anywhere with terrible humidity you'd be better off with something else. In other words, wear whatever the hell you want unless it sucks to do so.  |

It is kinda cold in the desert at night. The closer to a desert climate, the more likely this shirt is to be comfortable to wear on a summer night. These people need parkas for 55 degrees. |

In all seriousness, I can't disagree with that. Most of the nights in Phoenix (barring the summer months) are ideal lightweight flannel days. Although, once those summer months hit, unless you're going up-state, there isn't much flannel opportunity in the city or burbs (especially when the nights dip into the high 80s).

Yeah I agree that it's definitely relative to your geographical location. Summer nights in Phoenix will be in the 90's sometimes so it's all about T shirts for me. I won't be wearing any flannels in the summer, day or night..lol. I'm a Phoenix native though which means I'm a wuss when it comes to the cold so winter nights here. I will be freezing my ass off sometimes where as a guy like matt might be comfortable in jeans and a T shirt...maybe even shorts. That's when the heavy IH gear is busted out. |

I want to be told every time you wear it in the summer.
I do wear lighter flannels in summer. But rather have oxford cloth or poplin or linen or seersucker.

No for me. It just looks like cold weather shirt.

Depends on your tolerance to heat. I live in MN and the temps can range from brutally cold to extremely hot. I can take the frigid temps but have low tolerance for heat. I sweat when it's in the 60's, so the idea of wearing any sorta flannel in the summer is a no go for me. Don't know if the temps are milder for you but if you can deal with it then go for it

as an aside, I come across plenty of pics on Instagram of people wearing their 3sixteen shaggy crosscut flannels, some of whom look like they reside in warm States like California or Texas. I look at these pics thinking they're out of their freaking minds to wear a 3sixteen shaggy crosscut flannel in what appears to be very mild temps that are in the 60's. I've worn my crosscut flannel only on the coldest of days this winter and I've sweat in it while indoors. some people must have reptilian DNA if they can tolerate that kinda heat in a densely woven flannel.

That's actually my problem with most flannels. Even if the outside temps support it, inside temps tend to make heavier ones a torture device, or at least it needs to be removed. Plus they have a pretty limited season down here and practically none when I lived in Laguna Beach.

I'm thinking more a Spring/Fall weight. I'm pretty much done with flannel at this point, and I'm up in the PNW.

This topic made me realize I have one flannel in my closet -- two if you count the monster twill as flannel (if you brushed it, it'd be flannel). So from the look of it, I really wouldn't wear a flannel at any time of year.

Dang haters.
I love flannels grew up on a farm in N Ohio, worked outside for years. You can unbutton them and get a little cooler, use them to layer, leave a coat behind if it's like today and 38 and breezy if your just going back and forth to the car.
Now sweatshirts, those I cant stand.
