Ok so these are some flannels that I want to buy. All I need is some opinions on them. And for the ones on the forum that have worn any of these can you tell me the pros' and cons' of them. Like if they run any bigger or smaller/comfort/ etc. So here they are:

I saw the quiksilver one in person in the yellow colorway and I can tell you that that flannels is by far the best colorway out of the ones you listed

Expensive flannels are expensive. I got one from a local Vans store for like $5.
Altamont. Just because it's got a hood

dude seriously...
get your flannels from walmart or somewhere. same fabric, close to the same designs, just different name brands. if you were to buy all 4 of those flannels, each pricing from $50-$70, you might be sitting around $200. At walmart or somewhere you can get like at least 12 or 13 flannels for that same price..if you wanna waste that much money on name brand go ahead...but i'd recommend gettin them elsewhere.

Yeah, I kinda worded it wrong. I didn't mean I was going to buy all four of those flannels. Just four in mind, and I needed a little help narrowing all them down.

I get my Flannels from Coles most of the time, they cost me like $4. I only ever get Skate brand flannys if there on sale for really cheap. But if your gonna still pay heaps for one go the Altamont.

Get a quicksilver one or a 4 star flannel.
I have both and there both good.
The quicksilver one is really thin, and the four star is thick.

i love flannels, in winter here its constantly below freezing, i dont have a skate flannel cause they are so damn expensive (maybe for christmas), but i've picked up a few at discount stores and love em. Nothing like the feeling of a nice thick flannel on a cold winter day.

Im wearing a red and Navy one from old navy as I type this. I love it. Really comfortable and it keeps you pretty warm too.

I don't know why anyone would buy such an expensive flannel shirt. I'm not spending more than $20 on a shirt. And that shirt has to be pretty fucking gangster for me to buy it for full price.
I got like 3 $10 flannels at Kohl's last month. They're probably warmer than those posted too.

seriously, 70 dollars for a flannel? wal mart, kohls, goodwill, k mart, all have 1-5 dollar flanners, minus 4 fucking stars. save your money

Or if you REALLY want the logo, you could always check a thrift store. I got an Amiguous shirt for like 15 bucks.

I like flannels, but when I button them up, I hate when they get that hula hoop-like thing and it comes out in the back. It's annoying as shit because I have a longer torso than normal people so I have to get extra large, but most of the time the shirts or whatever I get have that hula hoop problem.

I have a couple of flannels that I got from K mart and Big 5 for about 9-10 dollars each. They are really comfy. I don't understand why anyone would pay 50 dollars for a flannel shirt just because it is from a skate brand when you can get the same shit for so much cheaper elsewhere. it's just obsurd.
One thing that bugs me about flannels though: i wear size medium shirts, so i bought all medium sized flannels that fit really well when I tried em on at the store, but after like 1 or 2 washings they shrunk soo much. They still fit me, but it just doesnt look as good on me because the flannel is shorter now. Its not too big of a problem i guess, but I like my clothes a little more on the tall side. its just more Aestheticly pleasing. I really like flannel though so im probably gonna buy more in the future, but this time im gonna buy a large and just let it shrink to a medium because it always ends up happening like that.
ditto, i bought my flannels from kohls size 3XL, and now they are shrunk and fit normal. I wish they made driers that didnt shrink clothes.

You guys think $54 is expensive. Here in Australia everything is double what you guys pay.
