Is the guy in the picture wearing a chukka?
I’m looking for shoes like that.

I love the plaid look, and just posted a recent purchase of mine from GAP on hypefly.com. The berwick plaid pattern looks awesome.

[...] December 4th, 2007 The Plaid Flannel Shirt is back–and it doesn’t have to be (nay–it shouldn’t be) reminiscent of 90s grunge. John showed the guys how to stand out from the crowd in a plaid flannel shirt, which prompted the ladies to ask how to translate this look for women. The plaid shirt, while reminiscent of a woodsy man, doesn’t have to be masculine. How to give the plaid shirt a feminine touch? Three ideas:(1) Fit is key. A man’s shirt will fall straight at the sides, but a woman’s shirt should follow her curves. Too-straight side seams will make you look mannish. (2) Leave the top button (or two) unbuttoned. Subtly show off your figure. (3) Choose a shirt with special details, such as a ruffle at the back or tuxedo pleats down the front. The tuxedo pleats down center front on the American Eagle shirt, for example, give the shirt a feminine edge. Here’s our top picks for plaid shirts with a feminine touch: AE Plaid Tuxedo Pleat Shirt | $34.95 (sale) at American Eagle Bib Front Flannel Shirt | $44.50 at Gap Sparkle Plaid Margaret Shirt | $78 at J.

Catherine–

I was at American Eagle over the weekend, and I saw a shirt that reminded me of the Oak plaid shirt.

It’s not flannel, but it does have a nice tuxedo pleat detail at the front. I ended up getting it

Here’s the Steven Alan shirt in a color that I guess they don’t sell through the Steven Alan store:

This one is noteworthy because the material is flannel, yet it looks like a dress shirt:

Finally, here is one that incorporates the same red/green plaid by
Steven Alan I suggested into a puffy-but-not-obnoxiously-puffy down
vest. Not surprisingly, the vest is by Steven Alan:

These three suggestions are all from Jake, a great store in Chicago.

I stopped by Gap tonight and saw they have several flannel shirts for men and women in various tartans/plaids. They also had one that reminded me of the Oak shirt - I wonder if they used the Oak shirt/dress as inspiration. Look forward to seeing your other suggestions! The Gap tops had good color, but the lines seemed a little flimsy (at least the women’s). The men’s ones looked better - though I prefer those featured in John’s entry.
