Särmä Wool Flannel Shirt
In the rugged old days, thick wool flannel shirts were a pretty basic thing, because everything was made of wool anyway – what luxury! Now in the plastic future, these are rather hard to come by. We did our part and patched up some of this gaping hole with the Särmä Wool Flannel Shirt.

In the rugged old days, thick wool flannel shirts were a pretty basic thing, because everything was made of wool anyway – what luxury! Now in the plastic future, these are rather hard to come by. We did our part and patched up some of this gaping hole with the Särmä Wool Flannel Shirt.
- A clean, thick flannel shirt with check squares
- Fabric: 60% recycled wool, 35% polyester, and 5% polyamide
- Made in Lithuania, EU
There are lots of spiffy cheap rags of shirts, which "will do" until you try on something real and proper good. The danger is that you might raise your standards.
The cut is classic: simple chest pockets with flaps, stand-up collar, adjustable sleeve cuffs. In essence, a timeless design fit for work, outdoors, and pleasure, and if you get wet in the rain, this will still keep you warmer than a cotton shirt. The shirt comes with one spare button. By the way, the buttons are pretty well sewn on.
Material and care
The fabric is made of 60% recycled wool, 35% polyester, and 5% polyamide. Fabric weight: 220 g/m2 / 6.5 oz. Brushed recycled wool: the inside is fluffier while the outside is smoother - very comfortable. The polyester is added just for durability and its amount is small enough not to interfere with the wool's properties. Wash at 30 degrees Celsius (86 F) with a wool cycle, and hang dry. Usually just airing the shirt out is enough. The use of wool care products is recommended but not mandatory.
Sizing
We have listed first the easy size, then the user's recommended measurements: user height/chest circumference. These are fitted a tad slimmer on the waist - this merely means they're not as baggy as many others.
In the chart below you can see the actual measurements taken directly from the shirt itself: back length from base of the collar to the hem and sleeve length from shoulder seam to cuff. Chest circumference is hidden for a purpose: due to the bellowed back it is difficult to communicate without inciting the customer to lean towards the wrong size. We strongly suggest looking at the recommended measurements, this way you will get the right size. The measurements below are NOT the recommended user's measurements, but measurements of the garment itself.

A word from the development team
We've been wrestling with this shirt for quite a while but now it's becoming a reality. You could think it's pretty easy to find any fabric in the market but NO, especially when "Made in China" wasn't an option; we had to have it made in Europe. We searched far and wide for proper wool flannel with no results, but the answer was closer than we would have ever thought. All the trouble was worth it and now we hope to make something else from this fabric in the future, too.

They might be great, but they can't read minds. Only orders.

I hate sending things back, so I'll see if I can get my Dad interested in this large shirt. An expensive gift, but I guess that's fine.
I'll try again next month, hopefully I can actually manage to click on the correct size by then.
It is actual flannel with a visible 'fishbone' pattern in the weave if you look closely, and I find the fabric weight is perfect. Not too light but not too thick either. For comparison, I also have a Fjalraven 'Canada Shirt'. I find that one is far too heavy, more like a jacket, while the Sarma one is just perfect.
