Flannel History.

It was around the 16th century that flannel was introduced, in Wales.
The first people who used this fabric were English miners, and it was also used to make clothing for the army. But at that time, the clothes made of flannel were not even plaid shirts, but the layer of sweaters for warmth.
Then the story came to America, the founder of the workwear brand Carhartt, Hamilton Carhartt invented the flannel plaid shirt and sold it to the logging workers.
Although this had nothing to do with suits, the stimulus to fabric production was huge.
In the 1920s and 1930s, flannel started to enter the formal wear field, that is, British students wore flannel gray pants.
Adopting the fabric at the same time were the aristocrats who were vacationing in France.
By the 1940s, the color of flannel gradually shifted to more traditional and serious colors. It is not difficult to imagine that this was to please the political and business clients, the most iconic of which would be Fiat's president Agnelli.
By the 1950s, the fabric became a full-blown American hit. Hollywood stars are credited with driving it.
Then, the popularity of flannel began to go downhill. The reason, which may not be thought of, but has been said by Alan Fusser quite a few times, is the son's rebellion against the old son, what the old son likes to wear, the son should not wear anything.
