Design

The Rush Creek sticks to the familiar flannel formula, with a button front, single chest pocket and adjustable cuffs. The shirttail hem provides enough length to wear the shirt tucked in or untucked. The Rustic Khaki Plaid pattern keeps the look understated and versatile, making it well suited to both the office and casual outings.

Comfort & Fit

I tested the shirt in size XL, and it fits true to size with good room through the shoulders, chest and waist. The sleeve length is right where I want it, and there's enough length to keep the shirt tucked in or wear it untucked. The fabric feels soft against the skin and has a lightweight feel that works well for all-day comfort. It doesn't have built-in stretch, but it remains comfortable for everyday activities.

Performance

I've worn the Rush Creek in temperatures ranging from the 40s to the 80s, mainly at the office, around town and while working around the house. It can feel warm in higher temperatures, but with the right layering, it's comfortable in cooler weather as well. I've worn it both with a lightweight wool T-shirt underneath and on its own, depending on the conditions.  The shirt is nicely constructed with quality stitching and buttons and the cotton fabric feels very soft.

The Rush Creek is a good choice for everyday wear and should also work well for easy hikes on cooler days. It's a straightforward, comfortable flannel that does what I need it to and I enjoy wearing it.

The Marmot Rush Creek Lightweight Flannel Long-Sleeve Shirt is a quality, versatile shirt with a soft feel, comfortable fit and classic styling. I reach for it often, whether I'm heading to work, going to a casual event or spending time around the house. It's a great option if you're looking for a lightweight flannel that works well across a variety of settings.
