People have been wearing flannel shirts for quite a bit longer than you or I have been alive

so heres the deal

1. quit being a trend whore

2. Go to value village or salvation army or some shit and pick up some flannels on the cheap because they are comfortable, warm and you like how they look

I've been rocking flannel shirts for years and I'm pissed that its getting popular... but whatever, they're warm and sweet and I'm gonna keep wearing them. I'm pretty sure all the ones I own are from St. Vinnies or WalMart, way cheaper them the new 'fashionable' ones.

Been really popular in NY for about 2 years, started catching on in LA about a year and a half ago. NY kids wear them in a more grunge style and I'm guessing they all come from thrift stores. LA guys dont wear them so much, more plaid beach style shirts. LA girls took the plaid flannel and started wearing them with dresses and such with a nice belt over them. I like the style for the plain fact that I love printed fabrics. Anyway, I expect it to start going away after this winter in NY/LA but will be trendy in the Midwest come next year.

I can state that the mustache is making a full fledged come back on both coasts.

As in a trend, yes, it is newer. In general flannel plaid has been around for probably over 100 years. Ild say plaid makes a comeback every 10 years or so.

Now

90's grunge

80's whats his name in pretty in pink totally rocked the red flannel as did the fellow in the breakfast club. I was still playing with my lite bright at this point so I can't really recall.

70's well, every print was in

60's not 100% here

50's and earlier loggers and such was still a happening thing.

wal mart has tons of awesome canvas/flannel based work gear that's almost totally windproof and would look super sick out on the hill, plus it's all cheap as fuck
