Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Irving Shadow Checkers Flannel Shirt: Choose this if you want an exceptionally soft, lightweight 100% cotton flannel shirt in a custom-designed shadow plaid—a faded, softened check in blue and light cream tones rather than crisp lines. It has a standard, true-to-size fit with a point collar, adjustable single-button cuffs, and a rounded shirttail hem, and Theory suggests wearing it on its own or layered through fall and beyond. Care requires machine washing cold on a gentle cycle and laying flat to dry in shade.[1,2,3,4] | Weekend Checked Flannel Shirt: Choose this if you want a relaxed weekend shirt in 100% cotton flannel with a light beige small-scale plaid, pearly contrast buttons, a chest patch pocket, and a curved shirttail hem. Its relaxed fit and simple spread collar make it easy to layer open over a tee or tuck in for a sharper look. Note that the pattern naming varies between checked and tile in the product listing, and images show a smooth, slightly fuzzy matte finish rather than a heavy brushed nap.[5,6,7,8,9] | Irving Structure Knit Shirt: Choose this if you want a short-sleeve, regular-fit knit shirt in a 53% cotton and 47% polyester stretch jersey, described by the retailer as a soft, structured fabric that keeps a polished look. Choose it for warm-weather wear with refined details like tonal mother-of-pearl buttons, a straight hem with small side vents, and a smooth, slightly lustrous finish in Off White or Blue. Note that only small and medium sizes are listed.[10,11] |
