Classic-fit flannel shirt in Good Tidings plaid

If I could, I would wear this shirt ALL THE TIME. It is so comfortable and fits me perfectly. I wish it came in more patterns. The flannel is soft and thick (but not too thick), the fit is flattering and not boxy, and the red plaid is cheerful. I would love it in solid colors, I'd buy them all!

Like the other reviews mentioned, most of the buttons crumbled and broke the first time I washed this shirt. So I can only recommend this item if you are planning to remove or replace all the buttons anyway. Other than that, the style and cut is cute, and an improvement from last year's flannel shirts. JCrew fixed the problem with the extremely hi-cut side slits on last year's version, by adding in a triangle of fabric where the front and back seams meet, which means the shirt will keep your torso covered, even when raising your arms. The fabric itself is thick and warm, but coarse and prone to pilling, unlike the softer smoother flannel from last year. The color is just as bright and festive as the pic shows. Unfortunately the broken buttons are a deal-killer for me, and now I am stuck with a useless shirt, unless I want to pay a tailor to replace all the buttons.

Well made and soft fabric! Perfect fit with lines closer to the body rather than square/boxy cut.
