Flannel Jackets & Shirts

Flannel jackets and shirts for the cold half of the year

Flannel earns its keep the morning the ramp has frost on it. Everything on this page starts with 300 GSM cotton flannel, the heavyweight end of the scale: brushed, dense, warm on a cold start, and better every time you wear it. From there it splits two ways.

The flannel jackets

The Quilted Flannel Jacket is the hooded one. A 300 GSM cotton flannel outer sits over a 210T polyester taffeta quilted lining with 100% polyester fill, so it works as a winter jacket rather than a heavy shirt, with large chest pockets that button shut so your keys stay put up a ladder or on the water. The Layered Flannel Jacket is the same dual-layer build without the hood: a streamlined, rugged layer that goes from the shed to the weekend without the bulk. It is a flannel work jacket on Monday and the pub jacket on Friday, and nobody can tell the difference. Both are cut to go over a tee or a hoodie, so size as you would a normal jacket.

The flannel shirt

The Mens Flannel Shirt is the classic: 300 GSM cotton flannel, two patch chest pockets with button closures and a relaxed fit that works open over a tee at the ramp or buttoned up when the wind gets into it. It is the flanno you wear to smoko and forget you have on. Every colour of the shirt is on mens flannel shirts.

Why 300 GSM matters

GSM is the weight of the fabric per square metre, and it is the number that separates a flannel from a flannel-print shirt. Lightweight flannels sit around 150 to 200 GSM and feel like a shirt. 300 GSM is the weight that holds warmth, holds its shape and cops a winter of ute seats, boat ramps and bar stools without going thin at the elbows. It is why a Jetpilot flannel goes from the site to the pub and looks like it belongs in both.

Flannel jacket or flannel shirt?

Cold and standing still, a dawnie at the ramp or a seven o'clock start in July: the jacket, and the hooded Quilted if the wind is up. Moving, layering or heading out after work: the shirt, open over a tee, jacket in the ute for later. If you are between the two, the Layered Flannel Jacket is the one that does both jobs.

Sizing and care

S to 3XL across the shirts and jackets, cut as normal jackets and shirts; the size guide has the measurements. Cold wash, dry in the shade, stay out of the dryer, and the brushed finish will outlast the ute. Layer the jacket over a hoodie on the coldest mornings, or see the rest of the mens jackets range for the padded and ride jackets.
