In North America, flannelette, commonly referred to as flannel, was commonly thought to be the fabric of woodsmen, lumberjacks, tough men, and farmers. Today it is commonly used for children's winter pyjamas as well as pyjama pants for adults. It is good at keeping warmth in, so often is favored among blue collar workers in cold environments. Flannel has been thought by some to be a fashion statement. Flannelette is a light, napped cotton the texture of flannel. The weft is generally coarser than the warp. The flannel-like appearance is created by creating a nap from the weft; scratching it and raising it up. Flannelette can either have long or short nap, and can be napped on only one or two sides. It comes in many colours, both solid and patterned. Flannel Shirts are also known as men's cotton plaid flannel, plaid long sleeve shirt, quilted heavyweight shirts, checkered lumberjack jackets, checked sleeve coats, etc. Flannel Shirts are commonly misspelled as flannelshirts, mens flanel tops, flannell longcoats, etc.
