The 30s, 40s and 50s were decades of smart wardrobes comprised of posh layers of collared shirts, knitwear, and woolen trousers that differed in only a minor manner from the high street fashions of the times. Within the alpine sports clubs of the day, classic skiing ensembles often included an oxford shirt with cuffed sleeves which conveyed skiing’s then leisurely nature and the handsome appearance of its well-to-do enthusiasts.

Crafted of soft Italian wool flannel from Milior, the Alps & Meters Touring Oxford gets an update for fall.

Forged Performance

Crafted of soft Italian wool flannel from Milior and protective waxed cotton from British Millerain, the Touring Flannel offers lightweight warmth and accessible storage utility, packaged in an classic cut shirt representative of a sartorial golden age in the annals of alpine sport.

The Story

During the early 20th century, skiing became the infatuation of gentlemen intrigued by the wonderful novelty and sliding on snow. In its transition from an efficient mode of winter transportation to exciting new recreational activity, skiers of the era, beyond a pair of leather boots and wooden skis, took little time to modify their head-to-toe wardrobes for use on-mountain.

The 30s, 40s and 50s were decades of smart wardrobes comprised of posh layers of collared shirts, knitwear, and woolen trousers that differed in only a minor manner from the high street fashions of the times. Within the alpine sports clubs of the day, classic skiing ensembles often included an oxford shirt with cuffed sleeves which conveyed skiing’s then leisurely nature and the handsome appearance of its well-to-do enthusiasts.

Impeccable craftsmanship. Luxurious material. Yet hard and rugged.

I purchased two of these one green and one and black to use on my skiing and outdoor adventures this winter. They look great. They are very well constructed and have a strategically placed zipper pocket on the left chest. Yet the materials sourced from the UK and Italy are both of the highest quality and very comfortable. I wear this with my A&M jacket have used them for skiing and even a night out. I look forward to many more adventures in these shirts. I am a very wide shoulder barrel chested individual that takes about a 46 US jacket size and the XL fits me. So the great news is these aren’t vanity sized which makes shopping and wearing much easier.

Another Great Flannel from Alps and Meters

LOVE IT! I’m 6’0” and 195lbs. It might be a tad bit long untucked but it’s such great quality and has a nice tailored fit.
