I remember going into my parents attic, where my mom stores all the dress-up clothes. There were plenty of old dresses, hats, wool pants, and wool flannels. Most of that apparel had been worn by my parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents over the years.

　　The wool pants and flannels were too itchy and heavy for playtime. As I got older, though, they were perfect for outdoor adventures. I pulled them on (with a baselayer as a buffer for the scratchiness) for hunting and working on the farm. When it got cold enough, my dad would trade out his jeans for wool pants for the ski hill.

　　The phrase, They dont make them like they used to, rings true to many things these days. With the popularity of fast fashion, its a breath of fresh air when a brand sees the value in making an article that will last a long time. Fjällräven is one of those brands. The Canada Shirt claims to be made for a lifetime of use. Ive been testing it for almost a year, and youd never guess Ive had it for that long.  

　　In short: The Fjällräven Canada Shirt ($170) is a womens wool flannel and the ultimate workhorse. The construction is dense for year-round outdoor use, working outdoors, and manual labor. This flannel is made to be durable for many years in the bank.
