Origin of the word flannel

In the 17th century, the term "flannel" began to specifically describe a type of soft, brushed woolen fabric with a characteristic nap (soft pile) on one side and a smooth face on the other. This fabric was prized for its warmth, durability, and softness, making it ideal for garments like shirts, pants, and sleepwear. Today, the term "flannel" is often associated with casual, comfortable clothing, particularly in athletic and outdoor contexts. From plaid shirts to cozy PJs, the word "flannel" has become synonymous with warm, fuzzy comfort!
