Buy it new from Visvim's own store at shop.visvim.com or from luxury multi-brand retailers (MR Porter, SSENSE, END, Nordstrom), where popular sizes sell out fast and are gone until the next seasonal delivery. There's no first-party discounting; the aftermarket (Grailed, eBay, Japanese proxies) is where most people actually shop, and prices there hold high because supply is thin.

Lumber Wool-Linen Flannel Shirt
About Visvim’s button-ups: Visvim is the reference point for luxury heritage Americana done the obsessive Japanese way: natural-indigo selvedge denim built "from the yarn up," native-craft dyes, and hand-feel construction that repro nerds treat as the ceiling. People want it because founder Hiroki Nakamura's pieces age like nothing else and signal deep menswear literacy without a visible logo.
Visvim isn't sold through us. Here's an honest take on what you're really paying for, and cheaper pieces you can actually buy below.
Is the price honest?
The wool-linen cloth and the relaxed, well-cut make are genuinely nicer than a mall flannel — but $1,310 buys you fabric feel and a boxy Japanese silhouette, not four-figure performance. A $100-$220 heavyweight flannel or workshirt gets you 80% of the look and most of the wearability. Pay Visvim money only if the specific hand of that wool-linen weave is the thing you're chasing.
Our take
The Lumber is Visvim's signature overshirt-weight flannel — a boxy, dual-chest-pocket work shirt cut from a wool-and-linen blend that drapes heavier and dries more matte than cotton flannel. It layers like light outerwear and develops that lived-in slouch the brand is known for. The cloth and the make are the story; there's no logo doing the talking. It's a beautiful shirt, but it's a $1,300 flannel, and the wool-linen blend is more about hand-feel and texture than warmth or durability versus a good cotton flannel.

- Best for
- Someone who wants a heavyweight layering flannel with real fabric character and doesn't need the logo
- Care
