It’s believed that the word“flannel” emerged in Wales, but we know for a fact that the term was in common usage in France in the form “flannelle” as early as the 17th century. While flannel was periodically popular among the French and other European peoples throughout the Enlightenment era, interest has waned elsewhere while Welsh flannel use has only increased. Welsh flannel was traditionally made from wool, and most European flannel types are also woolen. Until recent centuries, cotton was not as commonly used in Europe since it was primarily produced in India. Brushed flannel is soft to the touch and has a cozy, textured feel, making it ideal for added warmth and comfort. Unbrushed flannel, on the other hand, has a smoother surface and may feel lighter. The choice between the two depends on your personal preferences for texture and warmth. Brushed flannel is typically best for colder weather while unbrushed flannel is better for layering and milder weather. How Should I Style And Layer Flannel Shirts For Different Situations?

A twill or plain weave is usually used to make flannel, and the woven fabric may be napped on one or both sides to create a soft texture that hides the weave. Napping is a process that distresses the spun fiber and makes it take on the appearance of unspun fiber. Naturally, the fiber stays together since it has been woven into a matrix, but napping does decrease the durability of fabric somewhat.
