10 of the best men’s shirts for layering this autumn

Now summer is behind us and we face autumn and winter head on, we are now entering the seasons when are wardrobe needs to present plenty of layering options. Needless to say, long sleeve shirts are the cornerstone of any layering endeavour so check out our pick of 10 of the best men’s shirts for layering this autumn below:


Filson Vintage Flannel Work Shirt

Filson’s Vintage Flannel Work Shirt, made with thick and breathable midweight cotton, is a surefire favourite for colder weather. The interior face is heavily-brushed for thermal retention and maximum softness. Dual shoulder pleats provide an unrestricted range of motion for working overhead, casting a fly rod or shouldering a shotgun. Button-front with button-adjustable cuffs.

Outerknown Blanket Shirt

The heavyweight, yarn-dyed cotton twill fabric of the Blanket Shirt from Outerknown makes it warm and durable, perfect for layering over a tee or henley for a refined look that’s functional (read: cozy as hell) as well.

&SONS Boulder Shirt

The BOULDER Shirt from &SONS balances natural tones of grey with rich browns from the leather look buttons. This muted palette provides an ideal layering garment to be worn with almost anything.

Relwen Cord Workshirt

Relwen loves making pieces like this Corduroy Workshirt—heavy enough to be a transitional layer yet styled like a classic button down. This workhorse of a workshirt contains multitudes.

Taylor Stitch Crater Flannel Shirt

Brushed for extra softness and featuring all of the shirting expertise we’ve come to expect from Taylor Stitch over the years, this flannel is a perfect outer layer in chilly weather and can pull overtime under a heavier jacket when you need the additional warmth.

Howler Brothers Rodanthe Flannel

The Rodanthe Flannel is an homage to years past when double duty flannel shirt / jackets were ubiquitous in surf and skate wear. HB’s Rodanthe has a vintage look and feel and can serve as both an everyday flannel shirt or midweight jacket for fall. 

Iron & Resin Mission Shirt

Made from an 9.5oz 100% Organic Cotton Canvas, it’s pre-washed for that already worn feeling and is thick enough to take a beating from being on the road. 

Topo Designs Wool Shirt

Inspired by classic heavy overshirts, Topo’s Wool Shirt offers loads of options with oversized chest pockets and side hand pockets. With interior liner accents, Topo Designs logo snaps and oversized BDU buttons, this shirt works hard for you, even when you’re hardly working.

Patagonia Fjord Flannel Shirt

A midweight, long-sleeved 100% organic cotton flannel shirt for everyday layering and warmth.

Percival Flannel Worksheet

Percival workshirts, like overshirts but cut in a slightly wider fit and with different pocket details. A shirt for over another shirt. A shacket. A shirt come jacket. A mens overshirt or shirt for whomever wants to wear it, and wear it they may.
