We grew up depending on our flannels to keep us warm and comfortable in the woods and as a wardrobe staple for everyday life. It wasn’t uncommon to wear the same shirt for days at a time, even if it contained remnants of blood and dirt. This dependency on a single piece of clothing evolved into an affinity for the flannel shirt; it’s only natural that the shirt we lived in brings back memories of family camping trips and fooling big trout.
