Element x Millet Flanelshirt

Element x Millet is back for a second chapter (we sold the first chapter some four years ago), and it brings together two worlds that have more in common than you'd think. Climbers and skaters share the same thing: a love of the session and finding adventure wherever they are. The collection's message, "Escape from the Concrete Jungle", sums it up. Adventure doesn't start where the city ends.

Millet brings a century of alpine know-how and serious technical fabrics, including GORE-TEX, PrimaLoft® and Polartec®. Element adds its skate roots, with wider, cropped fits and bold graphics. The result is workwear-inspired outdoor gear with reversible pieces, easy layering and hard-wearing fabrics, built for the street as much as the mountain.

An indispensable warm layer for cold forecasts, the Element x Millet Flanelshirt in Dark Red addresses the problem of thin, drafty casual shirts with its heavy cotton build. Fabricated from a soft yet resilient 100% cotton woven flannel, this brushed top balances reliable daily warmth with natural breathability for year round rotation. Outfitted with twin buttoned chest pockets, a neat button down front, and adjustable button cuffs, this piece provides authentic utility whether worn as a standalone top or an insulating overshirt.
