I grew up hearing “western shirt”, another term was a Miller Shirt as that was the popular brand. But then it had to have pearl snaps. I expect flannel shirts have buttons.
Whaaaaat! Western shirt - tight fitting cotton plaid, sometimes with press studs. Flannel shirt - made with flannelette cotton (which is thicker) or wool, worn looser with ordinary buttons.

Well I asked about it, and they meant “western suburbs” so I was like …ohh snap!
oh
They are clearly not western suburbs natives. Anyone who is would know the official uniform is adidas, hoodies, and fancy sneakers.
You hadn’t heard it before because they’re wrong.

Two different style of shirts.
