The Carder Shirt blends traditional craftsmanship with modern style in a heavyweight flannel. Designed for the modern pioneer, this shirt features a unique red and black check, triple-needle stitching for enhanced durability, and a brushed interior for added comfort. The bellowed chest pockets and buffalo horn buttons provide both practicality and a classic touch. Ideal for layering or standalone wear, this shirt embodies quality and resilience, perfect for adventurous spirits.
From the brand: A symbol of craftsmanship and hard graft, the plaid shirt has long been a staple of the working man’s wardrobe. Worn by loggers, builders, and craftsmen for generations, it was built to endure long days in the field and cold nights by the fire. The Carder Shirt takes its cue from those heritage garments – reimagined for the modern pioneer.

Origins
The origins of the Carder lie in the early 20th century, when heavy flannel work shirts became the uniform of craftsmen, loggers, and outdoorsmen across America. The iconic red and black check was more than just a style – it was a mark of the working class, chosen for its visibility in the forest and durability in harsh conditions. Over time, the plaid shirt evolved from practical workwear to an enduring symbol of independence and authenticity. The Carder carries that legacy forward, combining the rugged spirit of the original with the refinement and craftsmanship expected of modern-day pioneers.
