Flannel Shirts

[caterpillar guy]

I didn't find Carhartt lasted for year for me most pant/bibs will not last more than a year no matter where I buy them Shirts do slightly better and they come from discount places like salvation army or other similar places locally. As for shrinkage I find even Carhartt shrinks when washed . My wife hang drys all my pants and bibs so they don't shrink from heat in a dryer. Only way we found that they didn't shrink. I hardly think Carhartt is the cheap line of clothes and I had to give up on them at the price they are at now days not lasting any longer than they do. I have not had a flannnel shirt that did not shrik nor long johns or shirts. Just have to buy them a size or two big so they fit after shrinkage.

Carhartt clothes are much cheaper compared to even 20 years ago. My daughter wanted my "vintage" Carhartt clothes to sell online.... when she showed me what she could get for them I almost agreed.

Don’t know your budget but I have a few Pendleton 100% wool flannel shirts. Spendy but good quality. It appears they have them in your size

I am looking for Flannel shirts medium size with 30"-31" length sleeves. Every shirt I look at have a 33"-34" length sleeve. Which down and covers my knuckles.
All my older shirts have 30"-31" sleeves. Thanks

If you button the sleeve and then flip the cuff around it will give you a couple of inches. Have done that before and it works ok, not outstanding in the rain, but tolerable.

I very seldom wear flannel shirts anymore,unless I'm going somewhere I will be staying clean.Tee shirts when it is warm,and sweatshirts when it's too cold for the tee shirts.My wife just bought me two pair of Dickies carpenter pants.Same size as the last 25 years,36 waist.Six inches shy of buttoning them up.Same size pants from the Bailey chainsaw people,fit just fine.Same with the Tractor Supply pants,no fitting problems.She's pretty disgusted with the return and refunding process from where she bought them.I always need pants with a pocket on the leg,I need it to carry my flip phone.I am extremely destructive of anything on my belt.I also need the double fronts on the legs.

It's because manufacturers make what sell.
As we become more and more a nation of knuckle draggers,
Well...

Where are you finding them that cheap?

$80 shirt still shrinks on me. I need long as in very long. I can spend up to $100 on a long sleeve shirt. just makes it past the wrist. within a year it is short. I don't think I have grown that much in a year, lol. I wash everything hot so I expect it to shrink. I buy $10 shirts, not flannel, and they don't shrink anymore than the $100 one. Last just as long as well. I am still wearing a few work shirts I bought about 10 years ago. Wore the same shirt so long that when I sent a few with my daughter as a paint smock for children they all said "that is Cam's shirt.

You might be suffering from a case of thought it, typed it, but didn't hit "post reply." The funny thing is you've made two posts now about your missing post.

Just bought 4 work shirts,2 flannel, 2 some kind of cotton blend, at the local flea market. $2 apiece. Wore hickory shirts most of my life but at $60 that ain't happening. Got them in the washer to get rid of the fleas..

I have the opposite issue. I need a 16 x 36 sleeve, and longer tails to keep them tucked in. Most of the domestic manufacturers used to offer those, and now that most of the domestic manufacturers have moved offshore, we seem to be stuck with mostly sizes that fit department store mannequins, and not real people.

I've found that Dickies have a good fit, but most of their lineup is not flannel.

Shop the big N tall dept.

As short as I am at 5'4" I have never found shirts or pants that fit correctly. So the wife hems the pant legs and I roll the sleeves up a turn or two. I'm 78 and that's just part of my life and I live with it

My son got me to quit wearing cotton, (flannel) in the winter, Synthetic fibers are much warmer when out on the elements all day.

Mine only seem to shrink in the waist area. Wonder why that is?

 

[drsportster]

It pays to buy a quality shirt at a place like Rugged outfitters than a shrink for sure Walmart shirt . I find
