Amazon Essentials Men's Flannel Shirts Long Sleeve, Slim-Fit Button Down Plaid

The Amazon Essentials Men's Slim-Fit Long-Sleeve Plaid Flannel Shirt offers a blend of style, comfort, and value. The flannel fabric is soft and warm, making it ideal for cooler weather. The slim-fit design provides a modern, tailored look that complements a variety of outfits, from casual to slightly dressier. The plaid pattern is classic and versatile, available in several attractive color combinations. The shirt washes well and maintains its shape, though it may require some light ironing to keep it looking sharp. The only minor issue is that the slim fit might be snug for those with broader shoulders. I will continue to purchase these flannels. Overall, it’s a great wardrobe staple that delivers on both quality and affordability.

This shirt fits better than I expected it to. I'm 5'10" and about 145lbs with a long & slenser torso, long thin arms, and a thick neck - it's impossible for me to find a shirt that fits my goofy proportions, and I'm constantly having to settle for an ill fit in one aspect or another.I find the length of this shirt to be perfect. I can raise my arms overhead and the tails of the shirt don't go higher than my beltline. The sleeves are a good length as well, and the diameters of each (torso and sleeves) are neither restrictive nor baggy. A good casual, comfortable fit.The neck is rather tight, but only if I button the topmost button, which I never do anyway. (For reference, my neck is about 17").The fabric feels thick and soft, but not too thick - a good casual outer layer over a tee shirt on a cool fall day. The color is nice and bright but not too vibrant. The stitching looks and feels of good quality, including the buttons and buttonholes.It did shrink slightly on the first wash, I mostly lost some length on the sleeves (bummer) and a little girth in the torso (a win). Overall, for this price, I'm really pleased with the fit and I hope it lasts a while...I'd probably even buy another one or two.

I now own three of these shirts, and all perform as consistently as the first, 'test' shirt. They fit properly (as most Amazon Essentials wear does for me). I live in the South so flannel shirts are not an essential staple most of the year--I won't claim to have put these shirts to the test running the Iditarod or anything--but I didn't have any classic plaid flannel and didn't feel like shelling out $45+ for LL Bean.Like white tee shirts, blue jeans, and baseball caps there is a timeless, classic American quality to your standard flannel-plaid long-sleeve button-up shirt. Everything good about the category is good about this specific shirt. They are warm, they're perfect for layering and they get softer and more comfortable the longer you have them (we'll see how this cheap flannel ages but so far, so good). They are not fancy. They are practical, and they will never go out of style.As for the specifics: Amazon Essentials continues to surprise me with the relative quality of fabrics, cuts and construction. Being the house value brand it's surprisingly comparable in quality to more premium AZ brands such as Goodthreads or national brands. I even ended up buying a Good Threads shirt for nearly ten dollars more partly to compare (more on that later). The Goodthreads shirt was of a softer flannel--just noticeable. The slim cut was a little slimmer--whereas the slim-cut in Amazon Essentials feels closer to a regular fit (I didn't try what they labeled as regular fit) and honestly fits me better. The stitching, the buttons, everything else was so close you'd really have to look carefully to notice. That's not to say the Goodthreads shirt is bad--just that the Amazon Essentials ones are very respectable, and for under $20 they're rock-solid. And other than the different patterns of plaid, the three shirts are seemingly identical--great QC.About the patterns: I'm docking one star for the product page itself and the fact that of the RED plaids--the obvious bold/iconic choice, of which every self-respecting wearer of men's clothing ought to own at least one--the first two, most traditional-looking red plaids were SOLD OUT in size medium, and stayed that way over the month or so that I kept coming back to check before finally purchasing the shirt in the weird (but not deal-breaking) red and yellow plaid pictured here. The buffalo and red and black? You can't have one. Other colors of plaid? Sure. I got a blue green and a blue and black and they both look very nice. But the classic, the go-to, the 'original' red plaid flannel? No way.That's part of the reason I purchased the Good Threads one, and I felt like I'd been upsold--we're out of that color in the value-brand, but if you step up to the midrange, we've got plenty on that floor. Whatever. Now Amazon is recommending me blonde mullet wigs and Wayne's World trucker hats. Crazy world we live in.

**HUSBAND APPROVED!!**I was blown away with the quality of this flannel! It’s super soft & breathable. The white buffalo plaid color looks super sharp without the stiff & heavy feel.Perfect for the holiday season!! My husband said it was “breathable, soft, & the perfect length!” (Shirt length doesn’t require the need to tuck in- which he liked most)Purchased : XXL (fit perfectly right below belt line)Body shape for reference: My husband is 6’3, ~300lbs, college lineman’s/athletic built (thick chest/shoulders, biceps & forearms).Overall: LOVE how masculine & sharp this looked on him for our Christmas pictures!! He likes the texture & how breathable the material was- so winning all around! Thinking about buying this shirt in other colors. It’s a great price for the quality shirt. Super classy for the upcoming holiday season!!**Let me know below if you found this review helpful**

This shirt is a great example of how Amazon and their Amazon Essentials product approach is focused on meeting the the customer needs and this one is right on target. I am 6'2", 185 slim with 37" sleeves, so finding a shirt, especially a flannel shirt for $18 that fits me is just a dream. This shirt is perfect for me. I ordered various flannel shirt brands from Amazon and tried all of my favorites Wrangler, Riggs, Carhartt, and on, then I ran across this Amazon Essentials tall, slim. Why not give it a try and I am very happy. The fit (slim) is far better than the tents available from other brands selling at 50% more. The sleeves of this shirt could be longer (it is a tall), still a bit short (after a wash a dry), but I am a 37" sleeve. It is a soft 100% cotton and the material is equal in quality (my opinion) to the other brands. I will buy this again item again it is, just what I wanted and at the proper price.point.
