I work in IT for a scrap metal company. Dirty Job fixing broken scales, site printers... This shirt is quality. I could wear it daily if I wanted to... but I only wear it on the colder days; as when I am in the office at my desk it can get a little hot. Definitely a good shirt if you live in the Northern areas (I am in Canada) and get some gold days.

I work in the outdoor industry, doing Backcountry trail maintenance for various federal and state agencies, and I get pro deals through Patagonia that are usually between 40 and 50% off I know that doesn't help many people in the trades but it's still worth looking at pro deals if you can get some

This, exactly. I love the Pendelton board shirt. I like wool shirts, its not an workshirt exactly but... I like it. The problem are that the only version of it that fits me are the "Fitted" slimmer model in the "TALL" size version. But those are almost impossible to get hold on... 😢

I think that was the coat I had in my first video about the line. Have a look back at my videos a year or so ago, I bought three items and I believe that was one of them.

Considering buying a couple of these, I’ll be working in the shade but still in pretty hot conditions, would these be good? I tend to overheat pretty easily but if these wouldn’t become an oven I’d love to try them

Patagonia is a great brand. I'm still wearing my 1989 Patagonia Parka! It shows zero wear. Patagonia replaced the zipper and a few of the nylon snaps a few years back at no charge including shipping both ways. It's a much better quality and feature packed parka than can be bought today. Amazing customer service. As for your coffee cup...beautiful but $60 is a crazy amount. For that price it better wipe the coffee from your mustache and beard for you!

i like that coffee mug. where can i get it?

You should check out and do a review on Wranglers ATG utility flannel. Lot of features and looks nice for the price

Can you talk about sizing? I know in other videos you mention Patagucci workwear sizing runs large

I enjoy your reviews on the work clothing. I am curious though if any of these items are fire retardant?

If your on a budget check out ridgecut work wear.

I like my ranch jacket from them. 99 for a short is too much. Just get surplus field shirts. Look as nice as any button up. Most have pen pockets. Good earth tone colours and are tough as nails for 5 to 15 depending

just wondering if the sleeves are long enough at 6'4"

Along a more humorous but related tract ... Another consideration that doesn't necessarily apply to flannels, but that was kind of touched upon here: does it really matter whether certain items of clothing last longer than other versions? Again, flannels are pretty timeless unless you get into odd combos and colors that are a little too vivid. But what good was it to have bell-bottoms that were built well enough to last you into 1982? 🤣 Another one that comes more from the hiking world: Do I really want underwear to last 5 years? It won't happen with Smartwool, which will shred if worn with any regularity within a year. But channel after channel tries to convince me to buy ExOfficio boxer briefs for $36/pair or, as we normies refer to it, "each." I don't really want my underwear to last that long, especially with what I see as a bit of a deficient waistband. Plus, it keeps us from exploring the new technologies, like that vagina they build into the front of some men's Duluth Trading Co. underwear to house your block and tackle.

Hi Carl, I love you epic videos. I live in sub tropical Australia, our winters aren’t nearly as cold as yours. Just wondering if you think this is still a good choice with the polyester material. As here you can can warm and sweaty doing physical work in a jacket, polyester being more sweaty than 100% cotton flannel. Just curious on your experience with it when you get hot, you’ll make my decision for me. Many thanks

@CarlMurawski

Oh man, that really depends... I dont think either shirt works well above 65F degrees. If I had the choice, I'd go with a much lighter weight material. The Farriers shirt is great but its really thick and not great in the heat.

Thanks so much for your thoughts Carl, I really appreciate it. I’ll still be wearing below 65F, it’s just not as thought it gets below 30F as where you are.

Also just wondering what you have found to be the best work flannel for warmth and durability that’s 100% cotton? I love your work, thanks again

Historically, Duluth firehose. But, now they are a shadow of their own quality. Love hemp. But, my favorite shirts are a good quality Henley style. Hard to find actually..

90 dollar work shirt? How's it look with some paint and burn holes?

What about for hot weather? Most of these work clothes reviews I see everyone says “great to stay warm” I live in Hawaii and want to stay cool not warm.

It seems like a fine shirt, but I pretty much always have to wear a reflective vest at work, so basically all of the good aspects of this shirt are rendered either useless or redundant: 1. The vest covers it making the good looks of the shirt pointless as it is being covered by a bright lime green vest. 2. All of the pockets would be covered by the vest and the vest has pockets itself. 3. I live in an area that is fairly hot and this just looks like I would be drenched in sweat by the end of the day. I usually just wear T-shirts under my vest, as they are light, cheap (usually free because of promotions and stuff from vendors at my work), and they just make perfect under vest shirts. I imagine this shirt to be good for like camping or hiking in an area that wasn't too hot.

How about reviewing some of the nicer-looking, more comfortable FR clothing?
