As someone who grew up surfing in Northern California, flannel shirts have a special place in my heart. Functionally, they were my year-round post-surf savior after getting out of the frigid water. They were also significant in terms of style, since all the cool older surfers and skaters wore them religiously. And there was one brand that dominated the tags of those flannels: Brixton.
Now, with the Oughts style that dominated my childhood back in vogue, Brixton’s flannels are back on my mind. One of the brand’s best offerings is its Bowery flannel. The bestseller features exactly the throwback vibe we’re looking for right now, only with the feel of a modern piece.
Brixton Bowery Flannel
$69
Available in 12 colorways
Better yet, the Bowery flannel comes in standard, lightweight, and heavyweight options. If you’re looking for a classic flannel feel, check out the standard Bowery here. It boasts a two-pocket design with plaid patterns in 12 different colors to match any personal palette. It’s also treated with a special wash that provides that soft, broken-in feel. In other words, it feels like that cozy old flannel in the back of your closet but looks brand new. Wear it solo, or layer it over a tee or under a jacket later this winter.
Brixton Bowery Heavyweight Flannel
$99
Available in two colorways
For more warmth, check out the heavyweight Bowery. This one features a 370 gsm fabric, placing it closer to a jacket. Just like the regular one above, it still feels super soft and delivers a versatile look. Pick it up in either black/charcoal or “Adrenaline Rush” red.
Brixton Bowery Lightweight Ultra Soft Flannel
$69
Available in one colorway
The lightweight Bowery flannel is good for warmer months, but (because of that) it’s currently low in stock.
