Steve,
I used to love Woolrich clothing. But, I don't think it's made by the same company these days. I think it's been sold or licensed out and the quality has suffered as a result.
I use chamois and flannel shirts as "overshirts" during the colder months. In October and November, I wear them over a t-shirt. From December through the rest of winter, over long sleep t-shirts or mock turtlenecks. So, I need ones that hold up under heavy wear.
My current favorite chamois shirts are from Lands End. My favorite flannel shirts are from Moose Creek. I also choose the heavier weight fabric otherwise they tear too easily, shrink too easily and don't hold up to washing in a regular washing machine and dryer. I'd hang-dry them but my one bedroom apartment isn't suited for it.
