This Freewheelers "Skid Row" Cotton Flannel Woodsman Shirt (Dark Navy) was worn by CORLECTION's Lee, as he shares:
" People who know me know that I’m a big fan of Freewheelers. I started wearing Freewheelers products back in 2013, and over the years I’ve owned many different flannel shirts from the brand. Yet this one remains one of my favourites.
Why? Simply because Freewheelers rarely produces plain-coloured cotton flannels these days.
I’ve been wearing this shirt for more than three years now, and even today, I often find myself reaching for it without a second thought. It’s just incredibly easy to wear and match with almost anything—denim, chinos, or even a pair of shorts. "
"For the first two years, I wore this cotton flannel shirt once or twice a week for around eight to nine months of the year, only putting it away during the peak of summer. Over time, the overdyed dark navy colour has faded into a more soulful shade, reminiscent of the vintage pieces preserved in museums and archives.
The oversized hand-polished nut buttons have also developed beautifully, becoming shinier with wear while taking on a subtle crackled appearance. Together, these signs of age give the shirt a unique character that cannot be replicated. I absolutely love this rugged, well-worn look."
"As I entered the third year of wear, this medium-weight cotton flannel began to feel noticeably lighter, almost like a lightweight flannel. Because of that, I can now comfortably wear it on cooler summer evenings or when travelling overseas.
Despite the years of heavy use, the construction remains remarkably strong, with no signs of giving up anytime soon. At this point, I would say this flannel has become an old buddy of mine. All I need to do is take care of it from time to time, and I know it will continue to accompany me on many more journeys to come..."
