I think the baggy jeans are still the "in" jeans for boys though

This is OP. My kid doesn't wear jeans at all, only khakis and sweatpants. I'd say his khakis fit regular-to-slim, definitely not baggy. And a PP is right, my son isn't showing off his guns He is a blend-in sort, at a college that skews preppy-outdoorsy.

I’m not saying skin tight. I’m just saying most guys don’t swim in oversized flannels the way they did back in the 90s/early 2000s.

I’m a boy mom who has returned tons of items my boys deemed too big/baggy.

My boys work out and are fit. They wear clothes that fit their shoulders.

I have one in college and one applying to college now. They don’t wear sweats to class on campus. My kid quickly started wearing khakis and jeans. I was shocked when he asked for a sweater (probably hadn’t worn a proper sweater since preschool).

Where do your sons shop, in particular the one in college?

This is OP- I was responding more to the poster who said baggy jeans are “in.” They may be, but that isn’t my son’s style- he wears slim/normal flat front khakis (or sweatpants). So the idea of hugely
oversized flannels seems not on-point but that’s what Abercrombie seems to sell?

Then Jcrew is your safest bet.

Uniqlo has decent flannel shirts in basic colors and patterns. (Popular colors/sizes will sell out, so order early in the season.) Try Bonobos for flannels if you want something not so basic. (Bonobos deeply discounts items that are out of season.)

Uniqlo tends -- at least in my experience in the women's side -- to have smaller sizes than the average store. I'mm petite and often find things there that fit me even though they are not marked "petite."
