FirstSpear Friday Focus: Stratton Flannel – 9oz

Friday, January 2nd, 2026

The FirstSpear STRATTON FLANNEL – 9oz is built for professionals who demand more from their daily kit—because your off-duty layers should hold the same standard as your on-duty gear. Constructed from 100% cotton in a rugged 9oz heavyweight flannel, it delivers real durability and warmth without sacrificing mobility. The shirt is Made in the USA, giving you American workmanship backed by proven production standards.

Up front, the Stratton runs two oversized chest pockets with metal button closures, built to secure mission essentials like a phone or small tools without bouncing loose. The long-sleeve cut with button cuffs keeps it clean and capable—whether you’re in a vehicle, on the range, or knocking out a long shift.

Every detail is built for long-term wear, including smooth metal buttons that won’t fold under hard use. It’s machine washable for low-maintenance sustainment, and the fit is intentionally oversized to accommodate movement, layering, and about 3% shrinkage after the first wash. For a standard fit, FirstSpear recommends stepping down one size from your normal t-shirt size.

Bottom line: this is a no-BS flannel that performs in the real world—tough enough for operators, comfortable enough for daily wear, and built to last. Gear up and get yours now at First-Spear.com.
