Can anyone identify Bill's plaid shirt from the latest Club Random?

When HBO isn't dressing you

Someone on YouTube quipped it is from The Doug Stanhope Collection.

Looks like an old Eddie Bauer flannel shirt/jacket I had years ago

[u/Dunkerdoody]

I think it was the shirt Creed gave to Jim in the grab bag.

Looks like a Burberry shirt

[u/EnvironmentalRock827 → u/Soinclined2think]

I only wear Burberry to swim

Brand choice not style choice. The style itself is timeless but that one looks particularly nice to me.

[u/jeffyboy526]

Why is he wearing a flannel shirt on top of another button up shirt??

[u/maxboondoggle → u/jeffyboy526]

Perhaps an homage to Jay’s usual blue collar look? (Should really be denim but I digest….) Funny enough Jay dressed up a little more than usual for Bill.

Fashion aside I enjoyed the episode

[u/KentJMiller → u/jeffyboy526]

Because it's winter, looks nice and is a normal thing to do. It's called layering.

[u/jeffyboy526 → u/KentJMiller]

I get layering but you base is usually a T shirt or long sleeve- not another dress shirt. I get it is winter but he lives in LA - it’s 68 degrees.

[u/KentJMiller → u/jeffyboy526]

I've lived in real cold and I've lived in LA. Once you've been there long enough you get chilly in temperatures someone from Michigan would wear a t-shirt in.

If you go on Buck Mason's website some of their models have that exact same combo. Plenty of other designers too.

I'll admit it kind of clashes but I think at the same time it also works well. Something crew neck would be more in line with the rugged and casual aesthetic of a plaid flannel shirt/jacket. This is just more dressed up preppy spin on a casual and warm look. In my personal tastes and how I'd wear it I'd probably align more with you. He's also got an undershirt below that which IMO is a bit much on the layering and I would drop.

Now I can't believe I've spent so many key presses defending Bill Maher's fashion choices. I'm going to go cry.

[u/jeffyboy526 → u/KentJMiller]

Agree to disagree

[u/dcy604]

It’s Burberry…excellent quality and prices to reflect that…that’s their standard corporate colour

[u/KentJMiller → u/dcy604]

Thank you very much. Now I feel stupid for not recognizing the trademark pattern.

Edit: So browsing Burberry it's definitely not the standard and trademarked check pattern. Very similar perhaps a variation.

[u/Ital-Irie-I → u/KentJMiller]

Down the rabbit hole....Not sure it's a Burberry overshirt/shirt jacket. According to BB, while it's similar to this one with snaps (Lunar NY Check wool overshirt), it's missing the snap on the pocket. and the fabric on Maher's looks more like polyester / blend vs a similar (Oversized Checked Wool) colour in wool.

Different from BB checked pattern with 4 white squares. You can contact the store and drop a pic in their chat to confirm.

[u/tassip14]

Can't tell you EXACTLY the brand, but it looks like a wool snap overshirt of some kind. You can probably find very similar things from Woolrich, Pendleton, LL Bean, Taylor Stitch, Imogen and Willie, Filson, Portugese Flannel, Buck Mason etc.

[u/KentJMiller → u/tassip14]

Thanks for the recommendations. I've actually visited the sites for most of those brands since trying to find this one. Thought maybe I had found it with Todd Snyder and Buck Mason they were really close but double pocket and not snap buttons.

There's just something about the weight and cut on that one I like.

[u/StationAccomplished3]

Same pattern as my parents circa 1975 couch.

[u/KentJMiller]

It's single pocket with snap buttons but I can't figure out which brand it is.

[u/Present-Industry4012 → u/KentJMiller]

It just looks like a flannel button down to me, but he's a millionaire on TV so it's probably something expensive, but something he might have gotten for free to wear on the show.

[u/KentJMiller → u/Present-Industry4012]

It looks like a nice one with a good weight to it. I'm guessing it is on the expensive side but wondering if anyone knows the particular brand.

[u/merricat_blackwood → u/KentJMiller]

I would have guessed Pendleton but I can’t find anything similar (I enjoy these kinds of “find this X” games). I’ll keep looking. Maybe try a vintage clothing sub also.

[u/KentJMiller → u/merricat_blackwood]

Yeah I tried that and the posts were taken down because I had no established history interacting in those communities. A moderator told me to use their question thread so I'm going to try that.

This one is a doozy to find because every brand on the planet seems to have some version of a plaid flannel over shirt. It's like finding a needle in a haystack.

I thought this would be a perfect use case for something like Google Lens in that it would find the specific plaid pattern of this one but it just returned a million different plaid shirts.

[u/BeneficialRing4631 → u/merricat_blackwood]

I thought Pendleton too. It could be from the 70’s, they were pretty popular back then. I gave one to my BIL and he still wears it to this day.

[u/Cute-Reception-8926]

Salvation Army, Los Breas, back section

[u/StinkRod]

Gotta be a mens fashion sub that would give better answers.

I thought it was the "blanket shirt" from Outerknown but I couldn't see that exact pattern. Those are good shirts tho.

[u/MarloThomas1]

Look at the collar… it’s not a shirt, more of a jacket

[u/KentJMiller → u/MarloThomas1]

Yeah they seem to call them shirt jackets. I have a similar one from Buck Mason but there's something about the cut, weight and texture of the one Bill's wearing that I like.

[u/DianeWonders]

I saw that snapped flannel shirt at BJs a while back. Plaid may not have been identical but similar. Know you know where I shop😀
