Reproducing an American military work shirt, the Nel Check Work Shirt from FOB Factory is meticulously crafted from a roughly woven flannel check, using 20-count thick yarns in a three-folded yarn construction. This unique combination provides both suppleness and durability, characteristic of the exceptional qualities only a three-folded yarn can offer. The flannel boasts a classical look with warm shades, capturing the essence of timeless style.
Brilliantly incorporating the codes of the model that served as inspiration, this shirt aims to be more modern, thanks in part to an easily combinable mottled shade, subtle dark stitching, and tone-on-tone buttons. It features two ideally proportioned chest pockets, one of which includes a pen slot.
The construction of the shirt is executed with triple chain stitch seams for increased durability, complemented by the classic ""run-off"" flowing from the reinforcement swallows. A clean strip along the button placket and in the collar completes this reinterpretation of a great classic in men's wardrobe.
The flannel shirts from FOB tend to run a bit small compared to American sizing. We usually suggest going one size up from your regular American size. If you usually wear a size M in American brands, you'll find a good fit with this shirt in size 3 (L). However, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit.
