About Portuguese Flannel
In Portugal, one of the last European countries to enter the modern age, there is a saying that goes “Pela obra se conhece o obreiro.” Loosely translated, it means “the workman is known by his work.” We doubt the founders of Portuguese Flannel, brothers Antonio and Manuel Magalhães, the 4th generation of a family of fabric manufacturers whose grandfather opened his own factory in 1935, would have any problem with that. You can see the craftsmanship of experienced hands (some of them second and third generation millworkers themselves) in every shirt they create.
