  Flannel - LoveToKnow 1911
Baize, a kind of coarse flannel with a long nap, is said to have been first introduced to England about the middle of the 16th century by refugees from France and the Netherlands.
Flannels are frequently made with an admixture of silk or cotton, and in low varieties cotton has tended to become the predominant factor.
Over 2000 persons are employed in flannel manufacture in Rochdale alone, which is the historic seat of the industry, and a good deal of flannel is now made in the Spen Valley district, Yorkshire.

Flannel is napped to create it's fuzzy finish by mechanically picking up fibers from the surface with large rollers that have many tiny hooks.

FLANNEL was a success, earning praise from critic Roger Ebert, The Hollywood Reporter, and packed audiences.
The actors in "Flannel Pajamas" have stated that they were drawn to my script because it allows conversations between the characters to breathe and because the monologues I include are very much part of the lexicon of the sane and the insane.
"Flannel Pajamas" is not an autobiographical film as such; it is a movie about contradictions: it's about hope in the face of failure, about second chances when all is deemed lost, it's about loneliness amid the embraces of a large family.

The two likely suggestions are that flannel was a disparaging term in the nineteenth century for excessive ornamentation on printed advertisements, hence the 'exaggeration; nonesense' sense; or, if flannel-mouth is indeed the original word, that it refers to "smoothness" of speech.
The word flannel in its original sense 'a soft slightly napped fabric', which is first found around 1500, is probably from a Welsh word for 'wool'.
