Etymology

The term 'flannel' has its origins in the early 19th century, derived from the Welsh word 'gwlรขn,' which means 'wool.' Flannel was initially made from wool but evolved over time to include cotton varieties as well. It gained popularity during the 17th century, especially in Wales, where it was used extensively in clothing due to its warmth and durability. The fabric became widely recognized for its softness and warmth, making it a popular choice for shirts, pajamas, and bed linens. The trend of wearing flannel shirts became particularly prominent in the 1990s, especially within the grunge music scene, leading to a cultural association with a more laid-back and rugged lifestyle. Today, flannel continues to be a fashionable and functional fabric choice, appreciated for both its practicality and aesthetic appeal.
