Flannel is a woven fabric that comes in a variety of thicknesses. The more dense a flannel, the warmer it feels. Traditionally, wool was used to produce flannels, but today cotton and polyester are common materials. The softness of a flannel is achieved through a process called brushing, which relaxes the fibers and creates that signature fuzzy texture. Flannel sleepwear is also typically yarn-dyed for a fade-resistant finish.

The flannel pajamas men’s in this article offer a wide range of practical features, including chest and side pockets, cinchable waistbands and button fly front closures. They’re all made with brushed cotton for a luxurious feel that gets even cozier after each wash. In addition, they’re machine-washable and shrink-resistant. Most men’s flannel pajamas are available in regular, plus, big and tall and extended sizes to suit many different body types.

While a traditional flannel may feature plaid or check patterns, many contemporary flannel pajamas use solid colors for a more versatile look. Those with patterns still have the classic heritage style complete with notch collars and bias-cut detailing. Some flannel pajamas are also sustainably and ethically produced. For example, Pact’s Fireside Flannel Sleep Set is made of 100 percent double-brushed organic cotton that has been yarn-dyed for a color that won’t fade and gets even softer with each wash.

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or someone else, a pair of flannel pajamas makes an excellent gift for anyone who appreciates comfort and quality in their sleepwear. To make your purchase more personal, consider choosing a monogrammed option.
