Amazon Essentials Men's Long-Sleeve Flannel Shirt (Available in Big & Tall)

A quality shirt at an excellent price. Looks great and feels great. The material is thick, yet feels light and airy. And the fit is true to size.

I bought this shirt and a GoodThreads shirt. This review was written for the GoodThreads shirt but also this Amazon Essentials. A comparison. See bottom of what follows. I recommend this Amazon Essentials shirt if you're OK with plaid.GoodThreads Shirt:Bottom line is I was pleasantly surprise with the quality of this shirt. I was looking for a solid orangish-yellow for fall color. Very good material and craftsmanship. Material is soft and strong almost like a "flannel light weight canvas". I'm about 6'1" and 164 pounds, with little muscle tone and/or body fat. The only negative comment is the sleeve diameter is a little tight given the body diameter on the XL size I bought. it's OK, just, I wish the body diameter was a little tighter. If you're heavier around the middle, the fit would be better. Shirt body length should be an inch longer for me. Sleeve length right on. The color wasn't available in tall size. But, it is very hard to find brighter solid colors. If you want solid color, give this a try.Amazon Essentials Shirt (this shirt):I also bought the Amazon Essential plaid in a yellow/black. That shirt has a better sleeve to body diameter ratio for me and is the typical flannel material. Shirt body length should be an inch longer for me. Sleeve length right on. I rate the A.E. shirt 5 star for a flannel plaid-for the money.Both are very good value. The Goodthreads shirt was a few more dollars but the material is better. This A.E. shirt offered a better color selection than what I could find in local stores. The A.E. shirt is a good value for a light weight plaid flannel.I have washed both shirts and observed no shrinkage. You must take out of dryer and hang on hangers right away, otherwise wrinkles.

I am quite pleased with this flannel. It definitely exceeded my expectations. See below for pros and consCons:1.) It took two washes for the shirt to lose it’s slight itchiness, which I see as a problem because some people might buy one, wash it once, find it slightly itchy and then never wear it again or purchase another (I almost made this mistake).2.) The buttons are rather small, I strongly prefer larger buttons as they are easier to button/un-button quickly (especially with one hand). They also look a bit cheap. I don’t see upgraded buttons as a major price concession, so I think Amazon could reasonably add better quality/size buttons.3.) I wish they had more colors/patterns available. I am not a fan of large print plaid, I really wish they had more Tartan plaids in neutral/earthy colors. I see this as a major downfall.PROS:1.) Very soft after a few washes2.) The fabric is a nice medium-light weight that drapes well and doesn’t wrinkle. Perfect for moderate weather (50s-70s) or wearing around the house3.) The stitching is phenomenal, I own about 14 flannels from brands such as Carhartt, Legendary, Levi’s, Columbia, Stillwater Supply, etc, and the stitching on this shirt easily holds its own against those brands, if not exceeding them. I have yet to find a loose thread.4.) Color held true after several washes, with no pilling of the fabric5.) The hem is slight and the generous length lends it well to being tucked in (which I strongly prefer)6.) The cuffs have two buttons for size adjustability (even some of my more expensive flannels do not have this feature)7.) I am quite pleased with the fitment of this shirt. For a very affordable flannel, the cut/style of it is on par with shirts that cost twice as muchI am subtracting a star because the lack of palatable color/pattern choices and the small buttons are a bit of a turn off for me.Definitely recommend and will likely purchase more. You can buy 2-3 of these for the price of just about any name brand.

This shirt is a bit heavier than what is normally passed off as a flannel shirt, it is pretty warm, nice, and soft and has held up through a few wash cycles without shrinking or fraying. Nice enough to wear to town and warm and durable enough to wear all day at work, and the price was right. I wish I had bought a couple more.

What beautiful, well made flannels. I bought 3. I love that they had 2 buttons on the cuff for wrist adjustment. I haven't washed them yet but will do cold water and perhaps line dry and/or short low dry cycle.These are great for a hubby who is always feeling cold. He is 5.5, takes a med t-shirt but I bought large in these flannels. Perfect!
