BOW WOW Repaired Mountain Pocket Flannel Shirt

Flannel shirts have occupied a broad place in American clothing, worn by workers and outdoorsmen for their warmth and practicality before being adopted by successive generations of youth culture. From postwar rock and skate scenes through to the grunge movement of the 1990s, the flannel shirt became a familiar piece of everyday clothing whose appeal often increased as it became softer, faded and worn.

BOW WOW draws on vintage outdoor and work shirts for this version, most visibly through the oversized mountain shaped chest pocket. The checked cotton flannel is deliberately aged, with distortion and variation across the pattern helping to give the shirt the appearance of a garment that has been repeatedly worn rather than preserved.

Much of its character comes from the repairs across the back and sleeves. Uneven patches and visible mending imagine a shirt damaged through work or time outdoors, then repaired because its owner chose to keep wearing it. BOW WOW treats these imperfections as part of the garment's history, recreating the accidental placement and irregularity that makes genuinely repaired vintage clothing so individual.
