The 8HU BLOCK CHECK SUMMER FLANNEL SHIRT draws inspiration from 1960s sporting goods, made from lightweight cotton flannel that offers both style and comfort. While flannel is deeply rooted in American outdoor culture, its origins trace back to 17th-century Wales. It wasn't until the 19th century, when European immigrants brought it to America's East Coast, that flannel became widely known.

Flannel plaid shirts rose to popularity in the 1950s, originally crafted from rayon and wool. The introduction of loosely woven, lightweight cotton yarns made these shirts more versatile for everyday wear. Their breathability, durability, and ability to be layered quickly made them a favorite among workers. Flannel shirts have since become iconic in American culture, symbolizing ruggedness, masculinity, and a strong work ethic.

By the 1960s, flannel shirts were embraced by the American middle class. Affordable and durable, they looked great both new and worn. College students wore them with denim overalls to show solidarity with the working class, while Californian surfers adopted vibrant versions as casual, functional attire.

Our 8HU BLOCK CHECK SUMMER FLANNEL SHIRT is crafted from 100% cotton and features front urea button fastenings and matching chest pockets. Its classic design and quality construction ensure it will be a timeless addition to any wardrobe.
