plaid flannel

Checkered cozy cloth

Plaid flannel is soft cotton or wool fabric woven in a crosshatch pattern of intersecting colored stripes, typically associated with casual shirts and outdoor wear.

The combination evokes lumberjacks, Pacific Northwest culture, and 1990s grunge fashion: He threw on his favorite plaid flannel before heading out.

Often shortened to just "flannel" when the pattern is assumed.
