WELCOME TO SIDE TWO (Sweden) 70s Vintage, Flannel

WELCOME TO SIDE TWO (Sweden) 70s Vintage, Flannel SUNDAZED & OUTSIDE SOCIETY S.O.S. | sundazed.io/sos The flannel shirt in question presents a compelling balance between workwear sensibility and contemporary refinement, an intersection that several of these brands have explored in their respective approaches to casual tailoring. Needles Japan has long embraced deconstructed Americana, often reworking classic plaid fabrics into asymmetrical cuts and unexpected textures, which aligns with this piece’s laid-back aesthetic. Mfpen, with its minimalistic Scandinavian approach, refines traditional menswear silhouettes into looser, oversized fits, similar to how this flannel shirt adopts a relaxed drape rather than a rigidly structured cut. Nepenthes and its family of brands, particularly Engineered Garments, play heavily into recontextualized workwear staples, where raw authenticity is paramount. The shirt’s traditional tartan check pattern aligns with Nepenthes’ appreciation for rugged yet effortlessly stylish everyday garments, blending vintage aesthetics with modern wearability. Massimo Alba, known for its softly washed fabrics and relaxed tailoring, mirrors the approach taken with this piece—its brushed cotton surface suggests comfort and ease, much like Massimo Alba’s signature garment-dyed pieces.
