Flannel shirts originate back to the 17th century and are an iconic look of the legendary Paul Bunyan. Historians believe Paul Bunyan might be based on the real lumberjack Fabian Fournier who was six-feet tall and had two rows of teeth. Although we may not know if Paul Bunyan was real, we do know that flannel has been a symbol of strength for over 100 years.
