"Flannel: A Timeless Fabric That Has Stood the Test of Time" From its humble beginnings in American textile mills during the 1800s to being featured in prestigious fashion advertisements like Walliss Hiking Kit Ad and Victor Stiebel Suit, it has always been a fabric that exudes comfort and style. Even as early as the 1900s, flannel was already making waves in the fashion industry. Advertisements for Treasure Cot baby specializes and Maenson Clothes' flannel trousers showcased how this versatile fabric could be incorporated into various garments for both adults and children. The popularity continued to soar throughout history. Cloth labels from American textile mills proudly displayed their association with this beloved material, while Cambridge Blue's introduction shirts in 1907 further solidified its place in men's wardrobes. Peter Robinsons mens clothing advertisement from 1904 also highlighted how flannel became synonymous with sophistication and elegance. Not only did flannel find its way into fashionable attire, but it also made an appearance in practical outfits such as cruising suits circa 1940. Its durability and warmth made it a go-to choice for those seeking comfort on long journeys or outdoor adventures. The CWS Flannel Factory near Rochdale played a significant role in producing high-quality flannels that were sought after by many. This factory became synonymous with craftsmanship, ensuring that every piece of clothing made from their fabrics would stand the test of time. As we delve deeper into history, we discover intriguing trades like blacksmithing, Jappanner (a skilled lacquerer), and goat farming where even these professionals found solace in wearing soft yet sturdy garments made from none other than trusty old flannels. Whether you're curling up with Muriel Dawson's "Good Boy" or exploring her whimsical world through "Inquisitive Pussy. ", one thing remains constant - the comforting touch of flannel.
