Ah, autumn in Scandinavia. That delightful time of year when the herring flows like aquavit, the lutefisk begins to simmer, and the meatballs gather about the fjords to spawn. A time when the days grow shorter, nights significantly longer, and you suddenly realize that everyone around you is humongous and blond. And wearing sweaters with some form of metal fasteners. The eternal question: what to wear beneath that hand-knitted metal fastening sweater? Bonobos suggests a lightweight flannel shirt, in rich hues sure to catch Björg and Helga’s eyes.
But never fear – you don’t need to be in Scandinavia to enjoy such garments. Custom made for fall, these 100% cotton plaid flannel shirts pair well with jeans or chinos, and are light enough to go readily beneath a solid-colored pullover or cardigan. Luxuriantly soft, just warm enough, fight off that Nordic chill with a healthy skål and some fabulous flannel.
