The flannel suit is an essential winter staple for any man. It's robust, masculine, and effortlessly stylish. Just like the diligent American middle class that popularised it, the flannel suit is remarkably dependable. The fabric has been around for over 400 years, originally created by the Welsh for undergarments. Today, it's favoured for lightweight winter suits due to its unique properties: a raised, napped surface that protects the weave, traps warm air, and wicks moisture from the skin.
