I ordered one of these shirts, wore it once, and liked it so much I ordered another. The sizing is true to size. It is a very comfortable shirt for "hoodie weather," which is about as close to winter as we get where I live.
My husband really likes it and he wears it all the time. True to size and soft. We are very happy with the purchase! Can't wait for another color we ordered to come in soon.
I have built quite the collection of Patagonia flannel shirts and the lightweight Fjord is my daily wear. It fits great and is comfortable to wear both at home and at work. I continue to add to my collection when new colors are released. Keep them coming!
Compared to all my other shirts, the sleeves on this are about 1.5 inches too long. I role the sleeves up a little to compensate, but occasionally this is a bother.
Super soft and comfortable. Patagonia does a nice job with the sizing, a medium fits perfect. The sleeve and shirt lengths along with the room in the chest are right on.
This lightweight soft but thin flannel is more akin to Pima cotton shirts than to Patagonia's normal flannel weight. So, its a nice compromise for warmer climes. After washing, the shirt felt a tad bit smaller than Pima cotton shirts of the same Large variety. While Im happy enough with his attractive shirt, I doubt I would buy another such li... Read Moreghtweight flannel shirt.
Patagonia shirts are cut a little large in the chest and this works out perfect for me. I wear a Patagonia small instead of medium I might usually wear, but this means the length of the sleeves and overall length are perfect.
This is one of the best flannel shirts I've ever purchased. Great fit, good construction. Just wearing it around puts a smile on your face. A good investment.
Not the Portuguese flannels from 20 yrs ago, but these are pretty comfortable. Patagonia does a wonderful job of pattern matching, which really distinguishes the shirt. Havent had much wear yet. Give it a few months.
My husband has had several of the organic cotton shirts and loved how soft these were when he first wore them - but we bought two during the last sale and both shrunk immediately when washed per directions, so that they are unwearable. I guess we'll try buying one size up? We've never had this issue with the Patagonia regular cotton shirt... Read Mores. Five stars if they hadn't shrunk!

Great Quality! Not Fair Trade Certified
I really love the design and quality of the flannel and it does run a little big just like all flannels. I definitely recommend this for those cool autumn nights and working in cooler climates. My only gripe is that I wish it was Fair Trade Certified like their other great products.
I love how thick and durable the organic cotton is. The fit is a little big on me but that's pretty much the same with all flannels. I would definitely recommend getting this for those cool autumn nights and working in cooler weather.
We are sorry to hear that this shrunk upon washing. For this garment, we recommend a machine wash, tumble dry on low, and warm iron (if needed). If you did that and it still shrunk, please feel free to send it back to us for a [warranty return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Nice and Warm
The material is perfect for fall and spring, even layered for winter. The fit is larger in the midsection than their other medium shirts I have so I ordered a size smaller in the other Flannel shirts for this reason. I'm 5'8 and 186lbs with a larger than normal stomach and it was still baggy in the middle.
I was a long time fan of the 10oz duck pants.
Warm in the winter tough enough for 3 of them. Didn't throw them out until the hem was frayed and/or I could see through to the knee.
When you came out with the 3 options of length I was in ecstasy. No more trips to the tailor.
Then it was 8oz. Then so thin the only thing about them was the weave.... Read More You did keep the heavy stuff for the stand up shorts. Kudos.
I try to incorporate the hemp products you offer. Some times the shirts feel a little rubbery, maybe clammy. I was excited about the pants being a blend.
In short they were oversized for me, and maybe more pant then I was looking for.
Keep going, try new things. That's Patagonia for me.
Thanks
These shirts are great. Super comfortable. A bit of a loose cut but I'm fine with that given I wear them for everyday use. I've got several (and the thicker version).
I wear this flannel to work, I wear this flannel hiking, and then I wear this flannel out for dinner. What I'm trying to say is that the Fjord Flannel Shirt is an awesome top that is super versatile and can be dressed up or down. It's comfortable, it's lightweight, and it's stylish. Furthermore, I'm pretty skinny (5'10... Read More" and 150 Ibs.), yet this flannel stays close to my body/butt for a nice fit, whereas many other flannels like to stick straight out in the back, which is awkward and suggests poor fit in my opinion.
This shirt would be noticeably more comfortable with larger arm holes and the addition of a back yoke (as with Fjord Flannel and Pima Cotton shirts which are both much more comfortable). Due to the slim fit through the shoulders, arm pit and upper back it's restrictive and it pulls. I'm always aware of it and constantly making adjustments... Read More. It's a great shirt otherwise and fits well everywhere else. Love the material, colors, patterns and styling.
I spent awhile looking for flannel like my dad used to wear. Finally found them here at Patagonia. I’ve had a few for a few years now and purchase more as new colors come out. Truthfully, just a few of these will last me he rest of my life. Just like the ones dad had but tougher. I use them to work in, wear about town, or lounge around the house. S... Read Moreimply perfect. I’m 5’9” 165lbs and wear a medium. Slim and athletic build so drying these shrinks them about right for my frame though the sleeves remain somewhat long. That said, I have ZERO complaints.
5’9”. 165 lbs Slim, Athletic build.
Small works great IF you hang to dry. Otherwise your dog can wear it. The regular weight though, and not surprisingly for Patagonia products, requires a MEDIUM. Still, I have several light weight and I love them!
I sent this to my son for Christmas, and it was delivered quickly and it looks great on him. I would recommend ordering from Patagonia online. It was a great way to purchase a gift for an out of town family member with the possibility that it could easily be exchanged if necessary.
He picked this from the website himself for Christmas. He liked it very much. The selection of colors were good and it fits the bill for layering in the cold weather which is what he wanted it for
A great shirt for relaxing or outdoor activities where you need a little room to move. The fit is definitely "relaxed" in the body. I'm 6'3", 175 and it's a little too roomy for me but the sleeves are just right. If the sleeves were slightly longer I definitely would have purchased a medium.
Great colorway for a flannel shirt. I am an XS and the length (hip-length) is a little jarring at first but feels more and more correct the more I wear the article. Excellent quality and will be buying more.
I miss the Patagonia Portuguese flannels of 15 yrs ago, which I kept until they were thread bare. Time will tell how this holds up.
Well tailored; good fabric matching with the plaids.
A quality product.
The fit of this flannel is the best I’ve ever found. The construction is so solid. The weight is excellent, never too thick or too thin. I just can’t say enough for this flannel because it really has no flaws. Definitely good for guys who don’t have big guts, but perfect for the average guy.
Good weight either alone or for layering. I have three of these and seem to always choose one of the three from an array of other flannel's. The material is really soft and the quality is great.
Great shirt. Light, but warm - warmer than expected. Whether outdoors or everyday, this shirt is a recommendation! High quality as usual from Patagonia. Runs true to its size.
I almost went with XL based on past purchases, but I'm happy I decided on the L. Fits perfect, not too tight and not too baggy. I plan on buying several more.
I've been ordering flannel shirts from Patagonia since forever. I got a few last year that were a bit thick This one was just the right weight for me, somewhere in between a heavy flannel and a cotton shirt. Very pleased with it.
I'm 5'8 and 185lbs (stocky) and the medium fits great. If anything it is a little large but I will definitely purchase more of these shirts through the winter.
Great flannel shirt for cooler temps or for layering. Looks great. I will say that the relaxed fit is a little loose. I'm 5'10"/144lbs and fit either a XS or an S. The XS is a little short and very fitted. I wear the S if I'm going to be moving around a bunch - meaning the shirt is more likely to ride up.
The quality of This flannel, combined with color options that are subtle and rich, Reminds me of the fantastic flannel shirts of my youth. Thank you for making them.
I now own two of these shirts. Perfect for whenever. It's my go-to on the weekend or when ever I'm not at work. It's also good for light activities. Size and fit are good. Both were as expected. Very comfortable shirt. Would recommend.
Dear Patagonia,
I know I'm a beanpole (6'5", 200) but all your tops, including this shirt, are so big in the body and short in the arms. The last 2 XL ski jackets I've had have been garbage bags! any way we could swap a couple inches from the girth for the arms? Thanks!
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to provide this feedback! It's truly crucial to improving products and sizing for future seasons. We'll pass this along to our design crew!

Awesome!
Since I started wearing this shirt, my wife wants to spend more time with me, my friends like me more, and I climb two grades harder. Amazing. Get one. ;)
And decided on this one. It's perfect for work, going out on the town, weekend projects, you name it. My one gripe: I liked this shirt so much that I went back to look at other colors on the internet and none of them appealed to me and tended to be too dark for my tastes. I know this is probably "what's trending" in style but so... Read Moreme of us older guys aren't very progressive when it comes to branching out...case in point: my wife's comment about my awesome new shirt: "It looks like the same shirt you have bought from Patagonia for the last 25 years." But she is totally wrong. This one goes to 11 because it's thicker.
I own lots of Patagonia clothing. Mediums generally fit me well and are consistent, but I found this shirt to to be oddly cut. The fit through the body is good, not too baggy, not too tight. The length of the body is about right/borderline too short (i.e. not a lot of spare length if you're looking to tuck it in, which I'm not), but the s... Read Moreleeves are annoyingly long. I have to keep them buttoned tight so they don't slip halfway down my hands, making them look kind of puffy and weird. The long sleeves are especially odd given the body hem is relatively short.

Really nice and comfy
Love the shirt. I am 6'1 and 210 lbs. I tried the L but it was too short, and I exchanged it for XL and it is way better. Quality is good, and I can almost sleep in it
Well made with quality materials and thoughtful design as you would expect from the brand. The fit is what makes it superior, but may not be for everyone.
I personally find it very difficult to find shirts that work for me, because I have broad shoulders, but I am not a ‘thick’ person, furthermore, ‘athletic cut’, shirts feel constricting to me. T... Read Morehis shirt is the silver bullet. I personally, throw mine in a hot dryer, because I WANT it to shrink, so it has the perfect overall length for leaving the shirt untucked, as I use it as a work shirt. It has crazy-long sleeves, but I am sure this is for future shrinkage, as flannels always shrink up over washing and wearing… I own two of these shirts now, and when they come out with new colors I will buy more.
They fit great, are well constructed, offered in great colors/patterns and last and last…..and no ironing needed. Love the Patagonia flannels; the very best.
Great quality flannel. The Sisu brown color looks way better in person. Lightweight flannel is a great description of the material. Not crazy warm or heavy.
My second one and, like everything Patagonia, it wears well, washes up beautifully. Fortunately it is a lighter weight flannel - not thin but not heavy and thick - so perfect for fall days or under a sweater.
This shirt has become a staple Patagonia pick-up for me, going on several years now. The sizing doesn't change, the quality stays great, and there is always one or two great prints to choose from. The first one I bought is broken in great, and can be perked up a bit if needed by a quick iron of the collar. Can't recommend enough. Don'... Read More;t change this one @patagonia!
Nice pattern. Boxy fit w long sleeves. Washed and dried in hot to shrink them up, which actually worked a bit, but fit is too boxy, cut too traditional, and sleeves too long. I’m 6’4” and 250 lbs. A size XL was going to be too small unless I washed it on “cold” and like dried it. Too much of a risk of my wife throwing it in the dryer. For the recor... Read Mored, Patagonia XL tops and pants are my normal size.
Pulled it out of the box, put it on, told wife "I need another". It's a tad loose which is really great. (I'm 5 10 180). It's beyond cozy, the arms aren't tight. The material is something I could sleep in and I plan to watching TV with this on.
This is a wonderful shirt. It fits true to size and it is extremely comfortable. I'll be buying another one of a different pattern soon, and I'll start gifting them to people as well!
I gave it 5 stars but I still have not worn it because it’s 85 degrees here now. It looks great like everything I get from them and I’m sure it’s going to be really good.
Transitioning to fall and winter clothes. This is a lite weight flannel that is perfect for the season. Lightweight enough for even the remaining days of warm weather.
Nothing beats this flannel shirt, even in the Texas heat, rolling up the sleeves, you are good to go. I’d wear these shirts daily if I had enough of them!

Awesome flannel
Tried it on, and I could sleep in it! Perfect fit for me tbh. 6' 235# with arms on the sorta longish side...awesome fabric. Can't wait to wear it 3-4 days a week October through April :)
Patagonia nails it with their flannel. It's the right weight and so soft that it feels great. It's a go-to work & wear piece through the cooler months. Great for layering, and classic flannel designs.
This is my third purchase of the Lightweight Fjord Flannel Shirt. I'm 5'11 and 190 lbs. Bought the shirt in a size Large with color style Tarkine Strip. Fits great and feels really soft. The colors are as depicted on the website.
I'm 5'8 175 pds in a large and it fits just right. Not overly tight and not too long. Can button up or go unbuttoned. I have broad shoulders and athletic build in chest area. Xl was a tad too big so I went with something more true to my size. Being garment washed, it should not shrink but if it does I'm screwed.
I’m 5’10” about 185 with wide shoulders and slim waist. The extra large fit well. Always worried about shrinkage when dealing with 100% cotton products.
Just the right weight not overly heavy and yet, substantial. The left hand flapped breast pocket is large and utilitarian. I would have preferred two pockets (R&L) as in the heavier weight model. The on-sale pricing made it especially attractive. This will be a regular wearer as autumn approaches.
When i first received this flannel, it was a little over sized. I had ordered a Large but after washing and drying, it shrunk to just the right size. It is made out of thick material but yet soft. Overall, very happy with this purchase.
Super comfy and not too heavy. Definitely washed in cold water and hung to dry as I was worried about shrinking. I am 6’1 and ordered large as that’s what I wear in fjord flannels but sizing is little less generous than the fjords.
The Lightweight Fjord is very comfortable and fits perfectly (5'10" and 175#) with a sleeve length that hits just right. The weight is ideal for a cool morning in summer or in the shoulder seasons when a heavy weight flannel is a bit too much.
I love the fit and durability of all the fjord flannels, I own several and find excuses to wear them. I am a contractor and wear them to the office and on sites. Camping, hanging around the house or for a couple of drinks great shirts.
Being 5’8” and 154lbs athletic build means finding clothes can be a chore. Bought a polo and light flannel which fit exceptionally well. Patagonia shirts are lean cut as a rule, allowing me to size up to Medium without buying a bedsheet.
As a guy with long limbs, I generally have to choose between shirts that are (1) too short in the arms or (2) too long in the body. This is one of the only flannel shirts I've found with the right proportions for me - the arms are the perfect length and the body is not too long to wear untucked. The weight of the fabric is comparable to what m... Read Moreost other companies would call a regular weight flannel (great for cool fall days and mild winters). I hang dry most of my clothes, so I can't speak to whether it would shrink in the dryer. It's definitely not a slim fit, as some have mentioned in their reviews, but "fitted" is not really what I'm looking for in a flannel - this one is loose enough to layer with thick, warm shirts but not too loose for everyday wear with a t-shirt (for reference, I'm 5'10", around 145lbs, climber with a slim/athletic build)
Right out the gate this is extremely comfortable. Since I got two of them they have been my go to shirts for chilly days or going out to dinner with the lady.
Fit is small/tight/restrictive through the upper back, shoulders and arm holes and less comfortable compared to other Patagonia regular fit shirts. A back yoke might help. Also, the body of the shirt is noticeably shorter than the sleeves and I think standard length would look better. Another example of weird/inconsistent Patagonia sizing. An other...

I love the range stripe pattern, and the fabric is nice, though not as soft as my LL Bean flannel shirt.

A Tale of Two Shirts - One Rozman: Navy Blue (Great! 5 Stars) and One Tom's Place: Mojave (Returned! 0 Stars)
I first bought the Rozman: Navy Blue and liked everything about it. Very nice material which comes out of the dryer looking great. Even my Mother wouldn't iron it! So I bought another one, a Tom's Place: Mojave. I thought even before I washed it that the material was not as nice. It didn't feel as nice and and the drape wasn't a... Read Mores nice. But I did not do a side by side comparison and I don't have enough shirts for winter so I went ahead and washed it. But it came out of the washer looking much worse than the Rozman: Navy Blue. It seriously needed ironing to flatten out the placket, in particular, but would have needed ironing even without the problem with the placket. (And here's where I need to attach a photo but I don't see a way to do that.) So the placket (you can google it) has stitching down both sides about 1/4 inches from the edge of the placket. And about a 6-7 inch section between the outer stitching and the outer edge of the placket had folded over on itself, i.e. towards the buttons. I am old, so I have owned many shirts and I have seen this before. In my experience it will happen on the first wash or never. And if it happens on that first wash it will happen every wash thereafter. Maybe a replacement wouldn't have the same problem but certainly would be the same material which is not as nice as the material used for the Rozman: Navy Blue so I just returned it for a refund. Customer support swore that the material in both shirts was the same but that is certainly not the case. (The customer support person I talked to also did not know what a placket is!) Re sizing: According to the chart I would be a medium but the small fit me very nicely.
Love these lightweight Fjord Flannels. They fit true to size, layer well underneath rain jackets and mid layer coats, and are comfortable from 40 degrees - 65 degrees. Really glad to have discovered these last year and plan to buy more this season.
Once the weather starts cooling down even a little bit I start wearing these flannels. Extremely comfy and warm cotton. Nice colors too.

The women's flannel shirts fit me too tightly in the shoulders. The men's are perfect. I wear women's small t-shirts from patagonia, and I got an XS men's flannel. Sleeves are definitely long enough, and the shoulders are just right!
I'm a woman and I buy the men's LW Fjord
I don't like the fit on the woman's version of this shirt so I buy the Men's size S. I like the colors better too. I have about 15 of these shirts. I live in them.
Love the feel and weight of this shirt,however,the sleeves are WAY TOO LONG. They completely cover my fingers. I had to resew to sleeve button locations to just hold back the sleeves enough to make them wearable. I'd recommend only of the person has really LONG arms.
I am 5'10" and weigh 195 and have always worn large in your heavier flannel,but for some reason a large is cut way to tight.

I'm an athletic 6'3' and 200lb. guy with a 37' sleeve and 33' waist. Although the sizing chart overwhelming recommended the XL,it is definitely too small both in the chest and sleeve length. Patagonia needs tall sizes!
So happy with this Fjord lightweight flannel,Often full weight flannels are to hot for me when flying in airplanes. This does the job of keeping me at the perfect temp while looking good. Love the fit. Not too boxy.
I bought three of these shirts,in various patterns,about two months ago and wear one of them nearly every day. They came pretty much perfect,not even a hanging thread. They have been holding up great and haven't shrunk nor faded a bit. Really happy with them.
I can't say enough good things about this shirt. Comfortable,surprisingly warm,and the fit and look are awesome. I'm 5'11",180 and Large fits great. I tried on a Medium and it was too short.
Just got this in,and am in love with it! The best flannel I own. Great fit,great material and pattern. Would love for a standard Fjord flannel to be made in this cut. The standard Fjord is huge,and really just a sloppy cut.
