Too small, but good quality for a lightweight material
If this shirt had fit I would have given it a better rating, but the description and “suggested size” indicated that I should order one size smaller than my normal size. This was a mistake, when buttoned the shirt was much too small. Ordering a flannel cotton shirt online is risky because you don’t know how thin the material is. Most of the flannel shirts I’ve purchased in the past were suitable for winter use. This cotton fabric was much thinner than expected, okay for indoor use but not a great choice for being outside in the winter.The stitching, pocket, buttonholes, hems, and collar were good quality. There is only a single pocket, which is unfortunate in a button down flannel shirt that one might want to wear outdoors while doing yard work. A pair of pickets greatly increases the usefulness of.I don’t understand why the ordering algorithm insisted I get one size smaller than my preferred size. I read comments from some shoppers that their shirts were too big, so perhaps they instructed me to get one size smaller passed on that feedback from others.The plaid pattern was attractive and exactly what I wanted.I think I may have received a returned item because the plastic bag had a 7” oval hole cut out of one side with remnants of a paper label.The sleeve length was correct.I have not washed this shirt since I am contemplating returning it since it is too small, but perhaps that is more trouble than it is worth driving to a return facility, so I might wear it without buttoning up or give it to a smaller person.
