National Flannel Day
National Flannel Day is celebrated every year on February 10, and honestly, it’s one of those days that doesn’t ask for much. No grand gestures. No pressure. Just warmth, comfort, and something familiar.
It’s a day about flannel the fabric most of us already own, already wear, and already love without thinking too hard about it. That shirt you throw on when it’s cold outside. The pajamas you reach for on winter nights. The blanket that somehow always feels better than the rest. That’s flannel.
And for one day, it gets its moment.
About Flannel
First of all flannel is a fabric, not a pattern.
Yes, plaid flannel shirts are iconic, but flannel can be solid, striped, or anything in between. What makes it flannel is the way the fabric is brushed. That brushing raises tiny fibers that trap air, helping keep body heat in. That’s why flannel feels soft, warm, and comforting the moment you put it on.
It’s usually made from cotton, wool, or blends, and it works especially well in cold or damp weather which explains why it became popular long before fashion got involved.
History of Flannel
Flannel traces its roots back to 17th-century Wales. Farmers there needed clothing that could handle cold, wet conditions while staying comfortable. Plain wool wasn’t cutting it, so flannel became the answer.
By the 1800s, flannel had spread across Europe and made its way into the United States. Miners, railroad workers, loggers, and factory workers relied on it because it was warm, tough, and practical. Even the military adopted flannel as part of uniforms to protect soldiers from harsh conditions.
Then came the 1990s, when flannel took an unexpected turn. Grunge bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam wore it on stage, not as a fashion statement, but because it felt right. The look caught on and suddenly flannel was everywhere again.
