American-made flannels do not have to cost $150. We found six that stay under $100 and still outperform the imported stuff by a wide margin.
Flannel Shirt
All American Clothing makes their flannel in Arcanum, Ohio using domestic cotton. The fabric weight is solid midweight — not the thinnest flannel you have felt, and warm enough for fall layering. At $70, this is the best balance of quality, price, and genuinely American manufacturing I have found under $100.

Check price →Pointer Brand Flannel
LC King's Pointer Brand flannel comes out of the same Bristol, Tennessee factory that has been running since 1913. The fabric is a solid weight cotton flannel with a workwear cut. It is not slim. It is not modern. It is a flannel shirt made the way flannel shirts were made 50 years ago. And that is exactly the point.

Check price →Flapjack Flannel
Duluth's Flapjack flannel is their take on a heavyweight shirt with an easy-going fit. It is available in regular, tall, and trim fits, which is more options than most brands on this list. The catch: not all Duluth flannels are US-made anymore. Check the product page and look for the Made in USA tag specifically.

Stormy Kromer is known for their caps, but their flannel shirts are made in the same Ironwood, Michigan operation. At $89, this is pushing the budget ceiling, but the fabric weight and construction justify it. Heavyweight cotton flannel with button-down collar and a slightly relaxed fit.

Check price →Heavyweight Flannel
Vermont Flannel makes their shirts in East Barre, Vermont and they are serious about fabric weight. Their heavyweight flannel is noticeably thicker than anything at this price. Some patterns come in just under $100, others go over — check the specific style. The fit leans generous.

Check price →Cotton Flannel Work Shirt
Ben Davis makes their flannel in San Francisco and it is the budget king of this list. At $52, you are getting a midweight cotton flannel from a brand that has been making workwear since 1935. It is not the heaviest flannel here. But it is honest, well-made, and half the price of the premium options.
