Weave - Flannel
Flannel is the quality for soft, warm looks that still appear well-groomed. Many designers use flannel because it provides comfort and at the same time looks very high-quality, especially in calm, elegant colors. Ideal for pieces you love to wear and that should look good for a long time.
Flannel is a fabric with a brushed surface, giving it a soft, warm feel and a rather matte reflection of light. Depending on the fiber, flannel can be made from wool, cotton, or blends, resulting in varying degrees of warmth and dimensional stability. Flannel usually drapes softly yet remains controlled enough for crisp silhouettes. The surface often visually conceals small wrinkles better than very smooth fabrics.
Typical fabric types:
• Wool flannel
• Cotton flannel
• Flannel blends
• Suit-quality flannel
• Shirt-quality flannel
Important properties:
Soft, warm, and mostly matte, with a pleasant touch. Good qualities appear neat and exude calm elegance. Depending on weight, flannel can be more structured or softer in drape. The brushed surface can be sensitive and should be handled gently.
Care instructions:
For wool flannel, dry cleaning is often the safest choice, while cotton flannel can usually be washed gently. Reduce friction to preserve the surface. Iron with steam and a pressing cloth, not too hot. Airing out helps keep flannel fresh for longer.
