Nigel Cabourn Mountain Shirt Jacket

I'm not really too big on flannel over shirts for the most part. I like them but I don't really wear them all to often. I have two or three favorites that pretty much get all of the love from my closet. Lately however, I've been really liking some of the brown/beige flannel options I've seen. The first one to turn my head was by Gitman Vintage at Roden Gray. I've been thinking about it the last couple weeks as it's been a bit cold, but then I found the Mountain Shirt by Nigel Cabourn. This is pretty much the perfect version of an over shirt. The colours are great together and I really like the straight cut of the body. The woven buttons are a great touch and as usual from Nigel Cabourn, you can expect superior materials and finishing overall. The soft alpaca/merino blend is apparently quite warm - which apparently our friends in New York could use right about now. The shirt is made in Scotland and available at End.

I love this type of two pocket flannel with a straight seam at the bottom of the shirt. It a good looking shirt if the proportions are right especially the body length. Ideally the bottom edge should hit right above the back pocket (RRL Straight Leg Jean in my case). Anyhow here's the one I bought recently
from 45rpm. http://www.45rpm.jp/shop/goods/goods.aspx?goods=7123012

I bought the Gitman flannel you spoke of when it hit BlackBird earlier this season.
Its dope and on a pure comfort level it tops my EG flannels.

Very nice Mr. Pate - so surprinsing to see you found one made by 45rpm! I like the look very much.

Jason - the Gitman one is really good too. The only thing I don't love is the black buttons on it. Individualized Shirts made the same one with light coloured buttons and I thought it worked a little better - but the fabric, fit and colours are spot on.
