Men's plaid shirts

Plaid carries an outdoor reputation that not every shirt actually earns.

Men's plaid shirts from Chevignon use a heavier cotton flannel built to hold up against wind, dirt, and the kind of day that leaves a mark on the fabric. The button plackets are reinforced, and the chest pockets hold their shape under weight instead of sagging over time.

Depending on the reference, the pattern ranges from a classic buffalo check to more subdued color combinations. This shirt layers easily over a tee or under a jacket once it turns cold.

The version that works hardest: a plain t-shirt underneath, the flannel open over it, relaxed jeans or cargo-style pants below, and boots or sneakers you don't mind scuffing. When the temperature drops further, a leather jacket goes over the whole thing and the flannel becomes the mid-layer. In warmer weather the same shirt ties at the waist over shorts and still earns its place in the bag.

Take a look at the Chevignon plaid collection and find a pattern that's ready for more than just the look of it.
