PATCHED ARCH FLANNEL

PATCHED ARCH FLANNEL

The Patched Arch Flannel from Who Decides War takes the traditional flannel shirt and adds a curved patch detail across the chest, breaking up the plaid pattern without overwhelming it. It’s a shirt with a bit more going on than a standard flannel, but still restrained enough to wear regularly instead of saving for one specific look. Cut in a relaxed fit, it leaves room to layer a tee or long sleeve underneath without feeling tight across the shoulders. It sits comfortably next to the who decides war hoodie, who decides war jeans, and who decides war shorts as a textured, slightly elevated piece in the rotation.

Patched Arch Flannel — Fabric & Fit

The flannel base is brushed cotton with real substance to it, not the thin, papery kind that wrinkles and loses shape after a few wears. The arch-shaped patch is stitched on rather than printed, so it holds its position through washing instead of peeling or cracking at the edges over time. Buttons run the full placket with reinforced stitching at the stress points, which matters on a shirt that gets worn open as often as closed. The plaid pattern is woven through the cotton itself, giving it a bit more depth and texture than a flat, printed flannel typically has.

Patched Arch Flannel — Styling & Wear

Worn open over the who decides war shirt or buttoned up with straight denim, the Patched Arch Flannel adapts easily to how much effort a day calls for. It works as a light outer layer during cooler months, or gets tied around the waist once the weather warms up. Pair it with the shorts for something more relaxed, or with the jeans for a slightly more finished look. It’s a flannel that holds its own in a wardrobe without needing much else to make it work.
