What is Flannel?

Flannel fabric originated in Wales in the 17th century. It was initially made from carded wool or worsted yarn, which was then woven into a soft and warm fabric. The word "flannel'" itself is derived from the Welsh word "gwalnen" meaning wooden cloth. 

Flannel is typically made from either wool or cotton fibres. Wool flannel is known for its warmth, softness, and durability, making it suitable for colder climates. Cotton flannel, on the other hand, is lighter and more breathable making it ideal for milder weather. 

Flannel has been a popular choice for many years. It is often used for suits in colder seasons due to its insulating properties. Flannel suits are known for their soft and luxurious feel, as well as their ability to drape well on the body. Flannel suits can be customised to fit your individual preference and style. The weight and colour of the flannel can be chosen based on the desired look and climate. The fabric can be tailored to create a structured or more relaxed silhouette, depending on your preference.
