There's plenty here, just be prepared to pay up!

Want the best socks you'll ever own? Darn Tough, starting at $20/pr. (sometimes on sale)

Best flannel you'll ever wear? Vermont Flannel. Shirts start around $80, blankets $125. I got two of their beautiful bathrobes for $6/ea. at GW.

There's plenty here, bring a fat checkbook, and welcome back to civilization.

$80 for a flannel shirt is cracked.

Wouldn’t you rather pay $80 for a flannel made in Vermont and help the local economy rather than shit from LL Bean that’s made overseas?

The bean ones hold up longer in my experience.

I thought bean flannels were always cotton? Same as vt flannel co.

I the ones that have held up for years for me are definitely cotton. I cant wear wool because it makes my skin break out in hives lol.

it's a REALLY good flannel shirt and supports the local economy

it may be a $80 purchase but it's a buy-it-for-life purchase for sure, plus it's high quality, fabric is great, and it'll last

Where can you find a quality flannel for less than $80 in this economy though.

Vt flannels are more like $100 now. I still refuse to buy them. They dont hold up.

I got two at GW $5/ea. One was new, the other looked to be worn once or twice. The XL is fairly proportioned after washing. I'm 6'1" 195 lbs.
