I really don't care for the consolidation of businesses these days. It just leads to less selection and no competition which equals higher prices, so that's good news for me! I used to buy my flannel shirts from Cabela's. The price was good and they were great. Now that Bass Pro took over and introduced their line of clothing those days are gone.

I like their Red Head flannels. The $20.00 jobs. Maybe $25.00? Not too thick/thin, priced right and somewhat fitted. did they change. I've only been getting them since year before last. So, 2019.
