I've nearly pulled the trigger on the more obnoxious one of those about a dozen times. But the Western style yoke always stops me. I'll probabaly cave soon though. |

I like both of them although that is a "stand out in the crowd" shirt for sure.

i've been tempted by the red/yellow one a few times...but at that price would have to see it in person or at least have seen some additional photos/reviews online. i like their woolrich backpack collab as well. |

Well I'm done buying heavyweight flannels, for this winter season at least. This is what I ended up with.
Iron heart 107 in red
Iron heart 102 in purple
My old navy red flannel from 07
American eagle heavy flannel $24!
St. John's bay JCP heavyweight $25ish forget now
Wallace and Barnes (jcrew) CPO and wool overshirt in maroon.
Looks to be good for next year too. Hopefully by buying this much crap I won't have to in the future. Maybe I will be like Frank Costanza as Jerry says your fathers wardrobe is basically frozen in one good year. Maybe mine is 2014.

Thought i'd throw my 2 cents worth in with regard to heavyweight flannel. I just received my Filson cascade shirt and it comes out to 8.5oz made with cotton twill. It feels pretty substantial to the touch and I was sweating like a pig in it this morning. I can't imagine wearing anything thicker than this, unless I lived further north. I paid $97 for it at Unionmade's 40% off sale, which is a great deal since I never see these cascade shirts go on sale.
A word on sizing, I normally wear a size large across most brands, including Filson's short cruiser in Seattle Fit. I was advised by an online retailer to go down a size to a medium and I'm glad I did. Filson's Seattle fit for their shirting is different than their outerwear, so be sure to look to their sizing chart for an accurate fit. The pros: I got it at a decent price, it's thick and warm and I like the colors. The cons, it's made in Portugal, the sizing is wonky and sales rarely come about for this style of shirt.

Portugal mills and sew shops are top notch at least all the ones I've had from.

I do live closer to North Pole and I still have the same issue. Heavyweight jeans (18oz+) and flannel is perfectly fine while worn outside during winter but indoors with temperature at a constant 21C (72F) it becomes unpleasant quickly and you start to sweat. Lately, I've been trading off a short period of discomfort and cold outside vs sweating indoors, specially given that my primary occupation requires me to be indoors majority of the work week. |

Man I keep my heat on 63* i would be boiling at 72 It's funny how much difference a couple degrees can make as far heat temp in the house. We have settled on 71F but 63 at night. 63 during the day I would have to wear more clothes or I would feel cold for sure. |

Holy crap, 63 would be freezing for me. In the winter I keep mine at 74/75 when I go to bed, but I'm a native Phoenician so take that with a grain of salt. When it gets down to 71/70 I'm starting to get cold...lol...I'm such a wuss when it comes to cold weather.

In college when I paid for heating in my apartment, I'd keep it at 60, sometimes 55, and just wear sweaters. Heating in the cold midwest really adds up fast.

I have no control over temperature at work and it always hovers between 68 and 74. At home, while I'm awake I keep it at a steady 66, and 60 while asleep.

ickes, 75 when you go to bed? Man, that would be torture for me. Where I live I have heat on from December to May. Keep things in the 50s at night.

It doesn't have steam radiators like many in the area and was never retrofitted with ductwork for a forced air system. Instead there is a single gas radiant furnace in the kitchen. Makes for some chilly Chicago evenings. On especially cold nights we break out the "Amish fireplace" which really just makes us laugh more than anything. |
