The Season of Comfort and Check Pattern
As Christmas draws near and temperatures drop, one thing never goes out of style — the classic flannel shirt. Warm, soft, and endlessly versatile, flannel has become more than just a winter fabric; it’s a holiday tradition. Whether you’re shopping for him, her, or even planning matching family outfits, flannel shirts are one of the most everlasting and heartfelt Christmas gifts you can give.
In 2025, flannel fashion is making a strong comeback with sustainable fabrics, modern fits, and festive colour palettes that make gifting easy and personal.
Why Flannel Shirts Make Perfect Christmas Gifts
1. Cosy Comfort That Everyone Loves
The soft brushed feel of a good flannel shirt, like a warm hug — exactly what people crave during the holiday season. Unlike trendy or size-specific gifts, check shirts works for everyone, from your outdoorsy brother to your work-from-home friend. You could even steal it when they don’t have it on!
2. Timeless Style, Updated for 2025
Flannel never fades from fashion. A gift he won’t forget. Expect to see twists on the classic plaid: oversized fits, Sherpa-lined options, and even lightweight flannel. Nothing beats the traditional red-and-green checks for festive vibes or go for neutral earth tones for year-round wear.
3. Easy to Personalise
Add a thoughtful touch by pairing the shirt with a beanie or other accessory or wrapping it in rustic paper with a ribbon. A simple flannel can become a signature gift when presented with care.

How to Choose the Right Flannel Shirt
Shopping for flannel doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are a few quick tips:
- Fabric Quality: Our classic flannels are soft to touch and non-itch, if it isn’t ours, make sure the shirt ticks them boxes at the very least...
- Fit: Regular or relaxed fits work best for layering; our shirts fit a more tailored body type. Not sure? Size one up or see our sizing guide.
- Colour & Pattern: RED for bold personalities, subtle GREEN for a refined look, BURNT ORANGE is a season favourite. You know the person, you will know the colour.
- Weight: Heavy flannels for cold climates and winter menswear, lightweights are for summer only realistically.
If you’re buying online, make sure their aftercare is favourable for Christmas. We extend our exchanges for gifting around Christmas. All you need is ask. Shop our classic flannels
Gift Wrapping Ideas to Make It Extra Special
A beautifully wrapped flannel shirt can transform a simple gift into a heartfelt gesture. Try:
- Wrapping it in craft paper with plaid ribbon for a contrasting on theme present
- Adding a sprig of pine or cinnamon stick for a festive scent
- Pairing with branded beanie for a complete “cozy kit”
Small touches like these make your gift feel warm and thoughtful — just like flannel itself.
The Takeaway: Warmth You Can Wear
