What makes a MuskOx flannel the Best Overall Flannel —voted by 3 years in a row (‘23, ‘24, and ‘25)? We craft our flannels with 100% cotton sourced through the Better Cotton initiative, promoting biodiversity, water stewardship, soil health, fair & decent working pay and conditions, and an effective management system for farmers. Every pattern you see is designed here in Detroit by our design team, then spun to life in a solar powered fabric mill in Portugal. That super soft feel? That’s due to our double-brushing technique, giving you the softest flannel you’ll ever wear (and not want to take off)! We finish our flannels with double flat felled seams for durability + recycled ocean-bound plastic buttons. If you haven’t tried one yet, what are you waiting for??
