This Flannel Is a Must-Have Essential to Update Your Fall Wardrobe

sponsored product note roark nordsman Roark

Flannels are a staple of any fall wardrobe. They’re a versatile piece — perfect for work from home days or weekend trips. But the truth is, not all flannels are created equally. Ideally, you’re looking for a garment that’s comfortable, durable and stylish. That’s the ethos behind Roark’s Nordsman flannel. When most people hear the word “flannel,” they are thinking of a heavyweight material that will keep you warm through anything. And while Roark does offer a heavyweight cotton flannel, the Nordsman line also features different weights and materials — a mid-weight wool blend and a lightweight cotton. They’re an essential for adventures, and were even taken on Roark’s journeys to the wilds of Iceland and the Aleautian chain for testing. In other words, Roark’s Nordsman Flannel is the ultimate wardrobe essential — gearing you up for any adventure this Fall.
