Tarvenn - Flannel Check Shirt with Curved Hem
A brushed flannel shirt in a woven check, with a curved hem and a single chest pocket.
The check shirt has survived every change in menswear because it does one thing reliably: it fills the gap between a plain top and a coat, and it does not need matching to anything.
Why this flannel shirt?
- Woven check: the pattern is woven into the cloth rather than printed on it, so it appears on both faces and does not wear off.
- Brushed finish: the surface is brushed after weaving, which raises a light nap and softens the handle.
- Curved hem: the hem drops at the front and back, which lets the shirt sit tucked in without pulling out.
- Mid weight: heavy enough for a cold walk, light enough to keep on in a heated room.
- One chest pocket: a plain patch pocket on the left, without a flap, so it stays out of the way of the check.
Ideal for:
Men who want a shirt they can wear on a Saturday, in the garden and to the pub without changing. It goes open over a plain T-shirt or buttoned on its own.
Will the check fade?
The colour is in the yarn before weaving, so it fades far more slowly than a printed pattern.
Is it heavy?
It is a mid-weight flannel. Heavier than an oxford, lighter than an overshirt.
Does it shrink?
Washing at 30 degrees and drying on a hanger keeps the dimensions stable. A hot dryer will pull it in.
