2026 New Arrival Fairbanks Flannel Shirt | Steel and Timber
2026 New Arrival Fairbanks Flannel Shirt | Steel and Timber
Inspired by the rugged spirit of Alaska, the Fairbanks Flannel Shirt is your go-to choice for whatever the day demands. Our top-selling flannel shirt for a decade, it is made from midweight 100% cotton, tough enough to handle the workday yet soft enough for comfort, with a pre-wash that gives it that worn-in feel from the very first wear. The fit hits the sweet spot, not overly baggy, not overly trim, a balanced cut that looks sharp while leaving a little room to move. It carries from the job site to a casual evening out, the shirt that feels like an old friend.
Steel and Timber crosses cool steel gray with warm timber brown for a muted, versatile plaid that leans workwear. It is one of the easiest Fairbanks colorways to pair, sitting cleanly under a leather jacket or over a plain tee.

Product Guidance
| Best For | The man who wants one reliable flannel that works from the job site to dinner. The layering buyer who pairs flannel under a leather jacket or over a henley. The outdoors wearer who wants real midweight cotton, not a thin fashion flannel. The buyer collecting a few plaids for rotation across fall and winter. |
| Sizing & Fit | For exact personal sizing recommendation, use the Measurement WAIR Guide at the top of the page, 4 questions to get your exact size. And click here, for our specific size chart for the item if you have more questions. Sizing philosophy: a true, balanced fit. Not overly baggy, not overly trim. Standard size: fits over a tee comfortably. Size up: for a roomier, layered look or to wear over a henley or thermal. Pre-shrunk, so it holds its size after washing. |
| Care | Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Wash as needed but not too frequently, since overwashing wears the fabric faster. Pre-shrunk, so it holds its shape. |
