flannel
Soft shirt material
Flannel is a soft, loosely woven fabric, typically wool or cotton, with a slightly napped surface.
It's associated with warmth and comfort: flannel shirts, flannel pajamas, flannel sheets.
A flannel or face flannel is British for a washcloth.
In British slang, flannel means evasive or flattering talk meant to deceive: Don't give me that flannel.
