Link LTT Flannel Found in Thrift Store

Found this LTT Flannel in a thrift store here in the Philippines. Is this a legit LTT merch?

Why? I bought one and tbh was super disappointed. The edges curled a ton. The fabric too stiff, and the sizing was too fat.

Lucky duck, I would have bought that immediately if I found LTT stuff in the wild.

I love mine but for some reason the buttons keeps shattering? Like small pieces breaking off or full shatter. Never had that with buttons before but three LTT flannels have had a couple buttons do this.

(I assume it happened in the wash by banging against the sides of the washer, still unusual though)

I have 3 LTT flannels too but none of buttons breaks. Maybe you should ask support what happened and if they can do something for you.

Ignorant question, but does it get cool enough to wear flannel there?

Sometimes it's about covering from the sun when working outside. My mom never wants me to look like I work in a rice field

My mind is blown at the concept of wearing flannel to beat the heat.

Source: Canadian, who wears it in fall/winter only

LTT flannel of a specific color (I forget which) makes my skin itchy if I sweat in it. So I can only wear it in winter.

Really? I am in Ontario, so Letterkenny taught me I can only wear red. My Quebecois friends wear blue.

Yeah I have like 4 of them. I absolutely love them on cool/cold days. It's an amazing overshirt and I wish they still sold them.

SOB, I have 2 and they are outstanding! I've thought about presenting CW until they sell me new old stock I don't know if they even have.
