Is there a cooler weather equivalent of the camp shirt (or maybe a nicer one of plaid flannel)?
I've noticed for most of the summer my favorite outfits are either a camp shirt or a plainer hawaiian shirt, worn over a tank top (usually a tank binder). I'm looking for something similar in feel for a winter outfit. Something that's buttoned but not an oxford shirt or similar. I've enjoyed my flannel shirts before but I think I want to move away from your basic plaid flannel on that front. I just did a big closet cleanout and realized I have a half-a-dozen really boring grey button down shirts and not a huge amount of warmer outer shirts I actually like (and especially ones that don't make me look like I'm barely old enough to drink).

There are a few brands doing long sleeve camp collars in heavier fabrics. My knowledge tends to be at the pricier end of the spectrum. But you could look for second hand drakes eg: https://www.drakes.com/products/khaki-corduroy-camp-collar-long-sleeve-shirt

Khaki Corduroy Camp Collar Long Sleeve Shirt
The Drake's take on this staple brings the story up-to-date; cut with a neat open collar, loose fit, plain front and straight hemline, all constructed from a soft, needlecord cotton fabric. 100% Cotton Handcrafted in Somerset, UK Camp Collar Straight Hem Mother of Pearl Buttons
At the cheaper end, Albam and YMC do some most autumn/winter season. Universal Works might also have something
hmm ok, that is an option. I'm also open to various types of indoor jackets, although they need to be relatively lightweight - it doesn't get that cold around here and I'm the kind of person who puts on a midweight jacket when it starts snowing. I admit my budget tends to run to Asos and similar (or goodwill if I can find anything).
Maybe a pendleton board shirt or similar secondhand? https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=pendleton+board+shirt
loop collar shirt might also be worth trying but that might yield less flannel and more rayon

I'm trying to get away from the plaid, I think? like I like the feel of it, but I don't think it ever really looks that good on me.
I'm trying to get a little more put together look that's still suitable for casual wear
(doesn't help that I'm incredibly allergic to wool too)
