Magpul Men's Logger Flannel Shirt Long Sleeve

i liked this shirt, but i returned it because it did not fit.

Great shirt. Great for CCW. Also like the snaps. Opens easy when you need it to

Great fit, nice material. Good quality

What more could one want in a shirt than those things?The color and pattern are quite attractive in my opinion. It uses snaps instead of buttons, and while these are not my favorite, for a shirt like this they are probably the better option because they are not as likely to fall off or get caught in stuff. Plus they are green, and match the shirt.While this is intended to be an outdoor shirt, I would also not hesitate to wear it as casual wear, at least while it is new.I got a medium, and I would say that the fit was perfect for me and compared to my other "medium" shirts. I typically wear a 15 1/2 x 34 in a slim dress shirt, for reference.It's not made in USA, but at least it's made in Vietnam instead of that "other" country.It comes with a label that says it is made of "smart yarns that draw sweat and moisture away from the skin and out through the surface of the fabric so you can stay cool and comfortable. Even when running for your life in a Bolivian jungle." Well, I can say from wearing it that it does feel cool and comfortable, especially for a wool shirt, especially because it does not have the rough feel that is characteristic of most wool shirts, which is nice. Regarding its claimed suitability for use in a Bolivian jungle, I was not able to test that yet.

… so says the Magpul website in part of a fascinating mission statement I tentatively believe penned by Magpul founder Richard Fitzpatrick, a sincere and dedicated ex-MarineThe shirt: Right out of the bag, putting it on was a great experience. I didn’t realize it follows the “western” cut, in my tailoring days I built quite a few of nearly the same pattern. All that’s missing is a fancy back yoke, I found that with plaid you can’t really tell anyway, and fancy features just blend in. It has been a great and comfortable item, I just pulled it out of the wash to inspect for this review; in a 71° room it was almost entirely dry after little more than an hour.I’m still not sure why they call it a “logger” shirt, I don’t see much that would be peculiar to that trade. It’s comfortable and so far quite durable, although the snaps were quite tight and at this point I am not too comfortable when it comes to doffing it in a hurry by just ripping down the front. I am guessing as the snaps work in a bit they’ll be easier to manage. Also following the same familiar design is a three-button cuff, always advantageous for different levels of cuff-rolling.As I put it on and wore it before washing (I lost all my clothes in one of the recent CA wildfires so I’m a little short on shirts) I noticed the fabric had a slight crinkly feel, as if it had a lining of some sort, I read through the label and about all I could guess was the Teflon coating, a concept which is totally new to me. It’ll be interesting to see if use bears out the tags claim of better stain protection, which “saves time, saves energy” although I assume, they mean it saves energy with fewer washings between wearing time and the speediness of the drying. After the first wash it remained crinkly, although it's not at all noticeable while wearing.The great cut is mostly hidden by the pattern of the fabric, I used to attach the yokes and plackets on the bias so they’d pop a little (a word that was not even used to describe clothing back when) that would have helped display the design.Snaps are a matching muted green, which also blend in but give it a kind of futuristic look. It’s been years since I actually wore anything from my stable of western wear, in an early attempt to mimic Nudie designs I always used outrageous contrasting pearl snaps, so the effect here is pretty low key.“I just wish Magpul would go away.” Right then I knew our new products were as innovative as I suspected.” says the founder of an overheard visitor at a trade show. A visit to their website reveled to me why, I am new to Magpul, since they seem to be a manufacturer of mostly hunting and firearm related items. While not locating these shirts, I did find numerous tees listed under “shooting accessories” and they seem to be more like souvenirs of the brand than a clothing line, but if these shirts are indicative of appealing to a more diverse market, at least in my case it’s a success. I didn’t see these shirts on their website. (which held surprise of a slightly disquieting nature, my assumptions about what “mag” had to do with anything were correct.) so I look forward to more crossover clothing, as hunting and military based stuff always has to exceed normal design parameter.So, while I love the shirt, I feel catering to 2nd amendment minded folk has nothing to do with the quality or characteristics of clothing, but it may affect your decision to “vote with your wallet”.The visit to the Magpul website was probably a mistake for just a review of a shirt, but I learned a great deal more than I needed to know: “Magpul was founded in 1999 with the intent of developing a simple device to aid in the manipulation of rifle magazines while reloading under stress.” I don’t hunt, but I do shoot trap and sporting clays from time to time, so I am no stranger or balk at gun shops and accessories or the firearms or the mindset. So, when I found on the label it was "designed in Texas, made in Vietnam" To me there is a small amount of memory loss at best, disingenuousness at worst from a company who more or less touts their products as "Stateside Design" and "made in the USA". I bet in ten years we’ll be looking at items “designed in Vietnam, made in Afghanistan”.I do like this shirt, as it softens up, I am thinking it will be quite comfortable and a welcome addition to my rather sparse closet. I’ll see how it breaks in and while the price is a little steep, it’s still better than what I have found in fancier models, I’ll probably pick up a few more. Comes in three likewise oddly named colors. Fair price for a shirt of this quality.

This shirt has some great positives but also some issues that really bring it down in my humble opinion.First, I want to address the material as many reviewers have dinged the shirt specifically for it. It is a synthetic material that has a bit of a Swiffer feel to it which is slightly odd and has a tendency to cling to other fabrics. That said, it IS warm and moisture wicking which is exactly what it is designed for. This is a purpose-built shirt so a little oddity in the material getting there is fine with me. It's not uncomfortable just a little different from what I'm used to in a flannel shirt.Additionally, the pattern and colors are quite nice in my humble opinion. It's a nice looking shirt.Where it falters is in some of the details. The shirt sleeves are too short, it's cut a little too short to be able to tuck it in and the snap buttons are way way too tight - crazy tight. Lastly, the snap buttons have metal backing that aren't covered on the back like the are on the front and are noticeably cold on the skin. It's like they said, "we are going to make a functional flannel with an innovative material" and then proceeded to mess up enough small details to really shoot themselves in the foot.Summary:Is this a bad shirt? No, but it really isn't as good as it could have been which is a shame. Odd fit and stiff buttons make it hard to see past the slightly strange material.Note: Instructions are to not iron this shirt. Meaning I would also keep it away from a campfire.
