A closer look at the Jones Donegal in mid brown with colourful flecks

Jones Donegal · The Flannels

Nov 2, 2026·

There is a version of this top in every shop. What separates the Jones Donegal is the cloth: flannel, dyed mid brown with colourful flecks, and finished without shortcuts.

Fabric

The cloth is flannel. It keeps a little structure through the day, softens with washing and does not require ironing to look presentable.

How to wear it

It sits well under an unstructured jacket. Choose a tone that echoes mid brown with colourful flecks rather than contrasts with it.

Fit

Proportions are simple. Nothing exaggerated, nothing cropped, and the length lands where it should for both trainers and leather shoes.

Care

Iron inside out on a low setting. Direct heat on the surface can leave a shine that does not come out.

Worth knowing

Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.

In short: a flannel top that does its job. Worth knowing if you are replacing something worn out and want three more years from it.
