Flannel can be made with worsted yarn (which uses generally longer fibres, and is then combed) or a normal woollen. On the other hand, carded yarns are brushed in a way that retains the long wool fibers as well as the short ones. Because of the Grand’s hefty material, a triple-sewn, flat-felled seam would be uncomfortably bulky in the armpits. And it can eventually form what is called ‘roping.’ You see roping in denim jeans, where the die fades away in high-stress areas to reveal the underlying white cotton. It gives denim that desirable broken-in look. But it isn’t great in a shirt, and we’ve seen why in other heavy-weight shirts that flat-fell the arms to the torso.

Flannel is one of the great pleasures of classic menswear, and one that communicates readily to the novice – hence my recommendation to my friend. It is then woven using a plain or twill weave, into a piece of flannel. The flannel may then be napped or carded using a random, non-directional method, to produce an even softer textile and to conceal the weave of the fabric. This can be done on one, or both sides.

Keep fit in mind. Depending on your body size, shape and preferred fit, a slim cut or boxy cut flannel could be better for you. In most cases, it’s best to have a roomier flannel than one that’s too tight. Flannel, flannelette, and cotton flannel can be woven in either a twill weave or plain weave. The weave is often hidden by napping on one or both sides. After weaving, it is napped once, then bleached, dyed, or otherwise treated, and then napped a second time. [15] See also [ edit ]
