Woolrich Trout Run Flannel Shirt

Even in late summer and at altitude, temps drop into what Active Junky affectionately calls “The Flannel Zone.” Here, cozy becomes beyond convenient as campfires take on more than simply soul-warming duties. This 100% pebble-washed cotton flannel shirt adapts to multiple seasons with a 5oz fabric weight. Once again, Woolrich gets it right with cotton-twill lined collar and cuffs. Urban, casual and backwoods get equal style treatment as Trout Run carries a button-down color along with a button-through patch pocket. Relaxed fit doesn’t feel or look sloppy in a machine wash style available in a rainbow of colors (including browns, fellow anglers). Testers found little to dispute as Trout Run handles tucked or untucked looks. A back yoke permits full movement to cast, chop wood and raise a glass high. And taller outdoor lovers can grab for the Long version. Brushed for extra softness, this plaid shirt owns the stream. Even when ice starts to form along the banks.

Best For: Three-season wear in cooler climates
