Got one of these a few years back when I was up scaffolding in the
winter. Just about the warmest and most comfortable thing I'd ever worn.
Finally binned it the other day as it was standing up on its own with
all the paint, cement etc, but went straight out and bought another.

WHY oh WHY? Last few times I've wandered into the clothes dept I've
wandered out again sharpish 'cos the majority of them appear to be
lumberjack shirts.

So what is the problem? You don't have to cut down trees just because
you might be wearing one of these shirts!

Maybe he's afraid he'll start having buttered scones for tea. And you know what that leads to!

I must have been forced to wear them once or twice too many as a
youngster, I avoid all bold coarse check patterns now!

Watch out for differences though. I've some LL Bean double-layer
shirts that are wonderful (and at that price they ought to be), a
couple that I've made myself (shoulder & armpit fit matters even more
on thick shirts). OTOH, the cheap Chinese ones are like wearing a
wardrobe and their padding can be astonishingly flammable.

My winter wear begins with a mil-surplus Norgee shirt underneath. I
wear these all winter, haven't found anything that comes close to them
as a base layer. I have got a couple with modified cuffs though, as
the standard fastening is a bit clumsy.

So just don't wear it in Hebden Bridge.

Boil wash with a few red socks. (Why do people buy red socks?)

I've a couple of lurid black and white check shirts (Mother!), which
easily dyed down to a far more acceptable dark and darker grey check.

I've reached an age where I'll wear anything that's warm and
comfortable. Goes with the skirt too
