Question for all you manly men grogs. I wear a lot of flannel shirts in the winter. Almost all are Land's End, but their shirts have become thinner over the years (their chamois shirts are warmer). Bought LL Bean a few years go, but the material was too stiff.
Any suggestions for flannel shirts that are warm, comfortable, not too stiff and affordable?

I wear whatever's at Wal-Mart though my wife hates them. >:(

But they are expensive
Territoryahead.com does good ones too, but also pricey. Their sweatshirts/jackets are better than C2C's. I've got a bunch. The shirts are good, but you can get better value from C2C unless they have what you want on sale
Either way, you're probably not buying 5 of them on a single order
I prefer quality over quantity - and everyone's definition of "affordable" is different.
I don't wear much flannel these days, but Ralph Lauren and Orvis have served me both long and well. Like over a decade.
I wear a good deal of flannel and I go with stuff from Kohls. Good prices and quality.

Both good sites! They are pricey and a lot of times you'll find they are out of stock in something you want.
Another option is woolrich.com. Less expensive and there's even a sale going on right now.
I only buy LL Bean. Expensive - but they last 10+ years with heavy wear. The thicker the flannel (especially fleece & insulated) the stiffer it will feel. You can buy thin flannel from less expensive places, but they typically don't last very long.
Check the racks when you visit the thrift stores. The older shirts often are made of higher quality material.

+1 I've found some nice shirts that way.
I like Woolrich and LL Bean too. I also prefer anything my wife hates. Never fails.
$90 flannel shirts? I guess I don't meet the dress code for the Grogshead Millionaires Club.
I get Lands End flannels in the summer for $10 (http://www.landsend.com/shop/mens-casual-shirts-flannel/-/N-jl7ZfzhZgxz?cm_re=leftnav-_-sale-_-mnssale_-20150421). I prefer the brighter colors to the lumberjack look, and the material is very comfortable. But it's also noticeably thinner than a few years ago.

$90 bucks for a flannel? No F'n way! $10 is my limit too. Geeze don't you guys have games or booze to waste your money on?1
They have sales all the time. And I would never choose clothes over Scotch.

You can get them sometimes half off if you time it right. Remember - when the high for the day is 22 degrees flannel is highly unlikely to be on sale.
You buy a $50 shirt and it lasts over a decade. That's not bad money in my book.
