Which is better for everyday wear?

The Angler. Its blue, white and brown plaid is quieter and pairs with more outfits. The Paddy is the bolder pick for nights out.

They fit the same. Owners of both say the cut runs slim, so size up if you are between sizes or want room in the chest.

Expect the same lifespan. Same fabric and hardware, and both are machine wash cold, hang or tumble dry low, and never ironed.

Is one worth stepping up to?

There is no step up in features. Pick the pattern you will wear more; the Angler is the safer everyday choice, the Paddy the bolder one.

Dixxon Paddy Flannel vs Dixxon Angler Flannel

Q: Are they the same shirt apart from color?

Yes. Both use the D-Tech polyester blend, full snap front, dual snap chest pockets, box pleat, hidden collar stays and the microfiber corner cloth.

These are the same Dixxon shirt in two colorways, so the choice comes down to pattern and fit notes, not features. Both use the D-Tech polyester blend, snap front, dual snap chest pockets, box pleat, hidden collar stays and the microfiber cloth in the bottom left corner. Owners rate both 4.9 and praise the build, comfort and colors, with a few saying the fit runs slim. The Paddy's green, black and white plaid is louder; the Angler's blue, white and brown is more subdued.

Choose the Paddy Flannel if you want a bold green plaid that stands out at the pub or on a night out.
Choose the Angler Flannel if you want a calmer blue, white and brown plaid that works from the shoreline to everyday wear.
