Virgo Wool Long Sleeve Shirt
Virgo Wool Long Sleeve Shirt
Story
A heavier flannel for the long haul
Portuguese Flannel brings four generations of expertise to every shirt, and the Virgo is proof. Cut from a heavyweight wool jacquard—suiting-inspired fabric woven in Portugal—it’s got structure and warmth that go well beyond your average flannel. Finished with recycled polyester buttons, a chest pocket, and a rich plaid that feels right at home once the temps drop, it pulls double duty as an overshirt or a midlayer.
Features
- Made in Portugal by a 4th-generation fabric workshop
- Wool jacquard construction with a heavyweight hand feel
- Chest pocket for utility

Again, it’s easiest to measure across the back of the garment - Body Length: Start at the top of the shoulder where it meets the neck seam, and measure straight down to the hem - Sleeve Length: Start at the center of the back of the neck, measure straight across to the shoulder seam, and then follow the edge of the garment to the cuff. Pro tip: it’s easiest to measure across the back of the sleeve

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. Nor should they—though they’re a relatively new brand, you can see the craftsmanship of experienced hands (some of them second and third generation millworkers themselves) in every shirt they create.
