Oversized Geruite Flanellen Overhemd van Katoen met Lange Mouwen en Geruite Patroon | Gold / S 9044Y-YEL-S

Overview

A relaxed, oversized checked shirt that reads like classic flannel but works as a multi-season layering piece. The silhouette is intentionally roomy with a longer hem and a traditional collar so it can be worn buttoned, half-tucked or open as a lightweight jacket. The prominent check pattern gives instant personality to simple outfits while remaining versatile enough for everyday wear, travel and casual weekends.

Materials — what this fabric feels like and why it matters

Products marketed as "flannel" often combine visual and tactile cues (a brushed, soft surface and a checked pattern) with different fiber choices. Two common approaches are:

• Natural brushed flannel (cotton): warm, breathable and soft next to skin; the brushed nap gives a cozy hand and traps insulating air.
• Synthetic brushed fabric (polyester): reproduces the soft, brushed surface but with higher wrinkle resistance, faster drying and stronger color retention.

If a piece appears slightly glossy, dries very quickly or resists creasing, it likely contains polyester or a polyester blend. If it feels naturally airy, slightly fuzzy and mellows with washing, cotton fibers are probably present.

Fabric advantages — Pros and cons

• Polyester (advantages): very durable, colorfast, resists shrinking and wrinkling, dries fast and often costs less. Ideal when you want low-maintenance outer layers.
• Polyester (cons): less breathable than cotton, can trap heat and odors, may develop static or pill over time; avoid high dryer heat to preserve structure.
• Cotton flannel (advantages): soft, breathable and naturally insulating; becomes more comfortable with wear and has a classic, lived-in appearance.
• Cotton flannel (cons): can shrink or fade if washed hot, wrinkles more than synthetics and takes longer to dry.
• Blends: try to combine the best of both — cotton for comfort, polyester for durability and color retention — but blends can vary greatly so follow care guidance.

How to measure — body and garment (step‑by‑step)

The most reliable way to pick the right size is to measure your body and compare it to the flat measurements of a similar shirt you already own. Use a soft tape measure and measure in inches or centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm).

Measure your body

1. Chest/Bust: wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under the armpits and over the shoulder blades. Keep the tape level and relaxed (not tight).
2. Waist: measure at the natural waistline (the narrowest point) or where you normally wear your pants.
3. Hips: measure around the fullest part of your hips with feet together.
4. Shoulder width: measure across the back from one shoulder point (where a seam would sit) to the other.
5. Sleeve length: from the center back of neck to shoulder point and down to wrist (or from shoulder seam to wrist for a garment measurement).
6. Torso length: from the highest point of the shoulder (next to the neck) down to the point you want the hem to sit.

Measure a shirt you already own (laid flat)

1. Chest (flat): lay the shirt flat and measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other. Double that number to get the full chest circumference.
2. Shoulder: measure across the top from seam to seam.
3. Sleeve: measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
4. Back length: measure from the center back of the collar to the hem.
5. Hem/waist: measure straight across the bottom hem and double to get circumference.

How to pick the right size for an oversized shirt

For an intentionally oversized look, you'll want extra ease (room) compared to your body measurements. General guidance:

• If you prefer roomy but not extreme: allow ~3–5 in (8–13 cm) of ease across the chest.
• For a dramatic oversized look: 6 in (15 cm) or more of ease will create a boxy drape.
• If you prefer a closer fit: choose a size with 1–3 in (2.5–8 cm) of ease or size down one size; check shoulder seam position — if it sits past your shoulder, the cut will read oversized.

Always compare your measured chest/bust to the garment chest measurement (flat measurement doubled). When in doubt, contact the seller or size up for layering comfort.

Model & visual fit cues

Many product photos include a model reference (height and the size worn). Use those cues to judge scale. If model information is missing, look at how the shoulder seam aligns and how far the hem falls on the thigh — if the seam sits beyond the natural shoulder and the hem hits mid-thigh, the piece is clearly oversized. Compare that to your preferred silhouette to decide whether to size up or down.

Color and combining ideas

Plaid shirts are highly adaptable because you can pull any one color from the check to anchor the rest of your outfit. General pairing rules:

• Neutral base (white/grey/black) keeps the shirt the focal point.
• Denim (light or dark) is a fail-safe match — pair with straight jeans for a casual look or with jean shorts for summer evenings.
• Layer under a leather jacket or heavy coat in colder months; layer over a tee or hoodie in transitional weather.
• For a refined casual look, team the shirt with chinos and desert boots; for streetwear, wear it open over a graphic tee with sneakers.
• When mixing patterns, keep scale in mind: pair large checks with fine stripes or small prints so one pattern dominates.

Style notes — how to wear it

• As an overshirt: leave unbuttoned over a tee or thin knit for an easy outer layer.
• Buttoned and tucked: tuck the front into high-waisted jeans for a neat, modern look.
• Layered: wear under a puffer vest or over a thin sweater when the temperature drops.
• Feminine styling: belt the waist to create shape from an oversized silhouette.
• Casual tie: tie around the waist for a 90s-inspired, relaxed vibe.

Seasonal suitability

This checked, brushed-style shirt is most at home in cooler months — autumn through early spring — when it can act as an insulating layer. In milder climates it can serve as a light jacket on cool summer evenings or during breezy coastal days. If comfort in hot weather matters, opt for lightweight cotton; if you need a low-maintenance outer layer for damp or changeable conditions, a polyester construction performs better.

Care tips & fit notes

• General washing: Wash on a gentle or permanent-press cycle in cold water with similar colors to protect the brushed surface and prevent color bleeding.
• Drying: Tumble dry low for a short time to soften the nap, then finish on a hanger to avoid over-drying; reserve air-drying for the gentlest care.
• Ironing: Use a warm iron if needed; for polyester-containing fabrics use a low-heat setting and iron inside out.
• Pilling & lint: Light pilling can appear over time — remove carefully with a fabric shaver or pill comb. Use a lint roller before wearing to keep the look crisp.
• Fit notes: Expect a relaxed shoulder and extra body room. If the shoulder seam is important to your look, size down to reduce drop; if you layer heavy knits underneath, size up for comfort.

Care guide — to keep it looking great longer

1. Turn inside out before washing to protect the outer surface and pattern.
2. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach; color-safe detergents help preserve pigment.
3. Wash with like colors to prevent dye transfer from darker plaids.
4. Use a mesh laundry bag if you wash with heavier items to reduce friction that causes pilling.
5. Remove promptly from the washer and reshape while damp to minimize creasing.
6. Tumble briefly on low to restore softness, then hang to finish drying; do not overheat synthetic fibers.
7. Store properly on a hanger or folded in a drawer away from direct sunlight to avoid fading.
8. Refresh between washes by steaming or using a clothes brush to lift the nap and remove surface dust.

Style tips — outfit ideas

• Weekend casual: open over a white tee, worn with slim jeans and sneakers.
• Layered warmth: button over a lightweight hoodie, pair with chinos and rugged boots.
• Laid-back office: tuck into tailored trousers, slip on loafers and add a simple belt.
• Skater/grunge vibe: oversized over a band tee with black jeans and high-top sneakers.
• Feminine twist: belt at the waist and pair with a midi skirt and ankle boots for a modern contrast.
• Travel packable: use as a soft layer on flights — comfortable and easy to roll into luggage without taking space.

FAQ

• Q: Is this shirt true to size?

  A: The cut is designed to be oversized. If you prefer a more tailored fit, consider selecting one size down. Always measure a similar garment and compare measurements before choosing.

• Q: Will it shrink in the wash?

  A: Pure cotton flannel can shrink if washed hot and dried on high heat. Polyester or polyester-rich fabrics resist shrinkage. Follow low‑heat washing and drying to minimize any change.

• Q: How warm is it?

  A: The brushed surface provides light insulation — great as a mid-layer in cool weather or outer layer on mild days. For freezing temperatures, use it as a layering piece under a heavier coat.

• Q: Can I iron it?

  A: Yes — use a warm iron for cotton and a low setting for polyester blends. Iron inside out to protect the pattern and nap.

• Q: Does it pill?

  A: All brushed fabrics can show some pilling over time with abrasion. Use a fabric shaver or de-pilling tool for a quick refresh.

• Q: Are pockets included?

  A: If pockets are important, check the product images and description on the retail page or contact customer service — pocket styles vary by production batch.

• Q: How should I choose between cotton and polyester versions?

  A: Choose cotton for breathability and natural softness; choose polyester for low maintenance, faster drying and better color retention.

Final notes

If you are between sizes: decide based on the look you want (size down for a neater fit, keep your usual size for the classic oversized silhouette). Measure your favorite shirt and compare those flat numbers to the product measurements on the listing. If anything remains unclear, check the product images for model height/size or contact the seller for exact garment measurements — that will give you the most accurate fit confidence.

Overview

A roomy checked overshirt that reads like classic flannel but is designed as a versatile layering piece. The longer hem and traditional collar make it easy to wear buttoned, half-tucked or open as a light jacket — an instant easy layer for everyday life, travel and casual weekends. Because this version is constructed from synthetic fibers, it keeps color and shape with less fuss than some natural fabrics while still delivering a soft, brushed surface that feels cozy against the skin.

Material details

This garment is made entirely from polyester fibres. Polyester is a man‑made polymer (commonly PET) that can be finished to mimic the soft, fuzzy hand of brushed flannel. The brushing or “napping” process raises tiny fibres on the face of the fabric to create warmth and texture without relying on cotton. Modern polyester constructions can also be produced from recycled plastic bottles (often labelled rPET), which reduces dependence on virgin petrochemicals.

Practical effects you’ll notice: polyester holds dye well so checks stay vivid, the fabric resists creasing and dries fast, and the brushed face recovers quickly after packing or sitting in a bag. Trade‑offs include reduced natural breathability compared with cotton and the potential for light static or pilling over time; both can be managed with simple care habits described below.

Fabric advantages — pros & cons

Polyester (this product)

• Pros: Very durable; excellent color retention; quick to dry; strong resistance to wrinkles and shrinkage; lightweight and often lower maintenance.
• Cons: Less breathable than natural fibers; can trap heat and odors if worn next to skin for long periods; may attract static and can pill with abrasion; synthetic fibres contribute to microplastic release if washed improperly.

Cotton (traditional flannel)

• Pros: Naturally breathable and comfortable; softens with wear; warm when brushed and has a classic, lived‑in look.
• Cons: Prone to wrinkling and can shrink if laundered hot; slower to dry; may fade more quickly without careful washing.

Blends (cotton + polyester)

• Pros: Often the best of both worlds: comfort and softness from cotton with enhanced durability and easier care from polyester.
• Cons: Quality varies — some blends feel synthetic, others feel mostly natural. Care instructions can be a compromise, so follow the label closely.

How to measure — body and garment (step‑by‑step)

The most reliable way to choose a size is to compare your body measurements to the flat (laid‑flat) measurements of a similar shirt you already own.

1. Chest/Bust (body): wrap a soft tape around the fullest part of your chest, under the armpits and across the shoulder blades. Keep the tape level and relaxed.
2. Waist (body): measure at the narrowest point or where you wear your jeans.
3. Shoulder width (body): measure across the back from one shoulder point to the other where a seam would normally sit.
4. Sleeve length (body): measure from the center back of the neck to the wrist, or from the shoulder point to the wrist for a garment comparison.
5. Torso/back length (body): from the highest point of the shoulder (near the neck) down to the desired hem line.
6. Garment (flat) chest: lay a comparable shirt flat and measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other — double that number for circumference.
7. Garment shoulders: measure across the top from seam to seam. Sleeve: from shoulder seam to cuff. Back length: from center back collar to hem.

Quick conversion: 1 in = 2.54 cm.

How to choose the correct size for an oversized fit

For an intentionally roomy look you should allow additional ease beyond your body measurement:

• Roomy but wearable: add ~3–5 in (8–13 cm) to your chest measurement.
• Dramatic/boxy oversize: add 6 in (15 cm) or more.
• Closer/less slouchy: 1–2 in (2.5–5 cm) of ease or consider sizing down if you like the oversized cut but want a neater silhouette.

Example method: measure your chest, add your preferred ease, then pick the garment whose flat chest measurement (x2) best matches that target. If you intend to layer thick sweaters under it, add another 1–2 inches.

Model & visual fit reference

Retail images often include a model to show scale. If the product images list the model’s height and the size worn, use that as a reference. When model details are not shown, look for these visual cues:

• Where the hem lands: mid‑thigh indicates a longer overshirt; at hip level is a shorter, more conventional shirt length.
• Shoulder seam position: if the seam sits past the natural shoulder, the cut is intentionally dropped/oversized.
• How much fabric is around the torso: a lot of horizontal ease = roomy; limited extra fabric = closer fit.

Example illustrative profiles (use only as a guide — verify actual product imagery):

• Reference A: 5'8" / 173 cm, chest 34–36" — wearing a small for a relaxed oversized look.
• Reference B: 5'11" / 180 cm, chest 38–40" — wearing a medium to show standard oversized proportions.
• Reference C: 6'1" / 185 cm, chest 41–43" — wearing a large if a boxier, longer drape is desired.

If you need absolute precision, contact the seller and request the exact model measurements and the size shown in photos.

Color & how to combine the garment

Plaid acts as a visual anchor: pick one color from the checks and let the rest of the outfit play supporting roles. General pairing strategies:

• Neutrals first: white, grey, black or beige will keep the shirt as the focal point.
• Denim is a reliable partner: blue or black jeans in straight or relaxed fits create an easy everyday outfit.
• Mix textures: pair the brushed plaid with smooth leather (boots or jacket), chunky knits or cotton chinos for depth.
• Scale matters when mixing patterns: pair large checks with narrow stripes or small prints so only one pattern dominates the eye.
• For a smarter take: tuck the front into high‑waisted trousers, add a slim belt and loafers or chelsea boots.

Accessories like a wool beanie, simple leather belt or canvas backpack complement the casual, layered look without competing with the pattern.

Style — how to wear it

• As an overshirt: leave open over a tee or thin knit for an easy outer layer.
• Buttoned and half‑tucked: tuck the front into jeans or trousers for a modern silhouette.
• Belted: cinch at the waist to turn an oversized shape into a more defined look.
• Layered under a heavier coat: use it as an insulating mid‑layer in colder months.
• Tied around the waist: a relaxed, throwback styling option for warm days or festival looks.

Season suitability

Best suited to cooler weather — fall through early spring — when its brushed surface traps a little warmth. In temperate climates it also works as a light jacket for cool summer evenings or breezy coastal days. If you live somewhere very hot, choose cotton versions or wear it sparingly as an evening layer.

Care tips & fit notes

Quick care tips

• Turn the shirt inside out before washing to protect the brushed face and preserve color.
• Use a gentle cycle and cold water; wash with like colours to avoid dye transfer.
• Tumble briefly on low to revive softness if desired, then hang to finish drying — avoid high heat.
• De‑pill with a fabric shaver if small fuzz balls appear over time.

Fit notes

• Expect a dropped shoulder and extra body room by design. If the shoulder seam is an important part of your look, size down to reduce the drop.
• If you plan to layer bulky sweaters beneath, size up for added clearance across chest and shoulders.
• For a neater silhouette, consider snapping a button or two and tucking the front into high‑rise bottoms.

Care guide — to keep it looking great longer

1. Spot‑treat spills promptly with a mild detergent and cold water; blot rather than rub.
2. Wash inside out on a gentle cycle with similar colors; use a small amount of liquid detergent.
3. Use a mesh bag if washing with heavier items to reduce abrasion that causes pilling.
4. Limit tumble drying: a short, low‑heat cycle can soften the nap, but finish by hanging to avoid overheating the fibres.
5. Refresh between washes with a steamer or clothes brush to lift the nap and remove surface dust.
6. Store on a hanger or folded in a drawer away from direct sunlight to prevent fading; avoid tight packing which crushes the brushed surface.
7. To reduce static, use dryer sheets sparingly or a quick mist of anti‑static spray; avoid overuse of fabric softener if you want to maintain absorbency and breathability.

FAQ

Is the fit true to size?

The cut is intentionally oversized. If you prefer a closer fit, choose one size smaller or compare your measurements to the garment’s flat dimensions before buying.

Will it shrink?

Polyester resists shrinking when washed correctly. Avoid hot water and high dryer heat to protect shape and finish.

Are there pockets?

Pocket styles vary by production run. Consult the product images or ask the seller for exact details if pockets are essential to you.

How warm is it?

It provides light insulation — great as a mid‑layer on cool days or a top layer in mild weather. For very cold conditions, use it under a heavier coat.

Can I iron it?

Yes, but use a low heat setting and iron inside out to protect the brushed surface. A steamer is a gentler option for removing creases.

Does it pill?

Some pilling is possible with wear. Remove surface pills with a fabric shaver and avoid abrasive rubbing (e.g., under backpack straps).

Is the fabric sustainable?

Polyester is a synthetic fibre. Some manufacturers use recycled polyester (rPET); if sustainability matters, ask the seller whether this item uses recycled content or what their take‑back/recycling options are.

Can I dry clean it?

Dry cleaning is usually safe but not necessary for polyester. Follow any label directions and inform your dry cleaner of the brushed finish so they can use appropriate solvents and handling.

What about color accuracy?

Colors on screen can differ from real life due to lighting and monitor settings. If color matching is important, check product photos on a neutral background and, when possible, read customer photos or reviews.
