The horizontal and vertical coloured yarns intersect to form the finished plaid pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis construction gives the fabric a richer, more dimensional appearance and means that the plaid is visible on both sides of the cloth. This is particularly attractive for garments where the reverse may occasionally show, such as rolled cuffs, open overshirts and unlined jackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe woven construction also gives classic plaids their characteristic colour variations: where two differently coloured yarns cross, they can visually create an additional tone. This is part of what gives a well-made yarn-dyed plaid more depth than a flat printed imitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ad6f36;\"\u003eSoftness With Structure\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface has been brushed to create the soft, slightly fuzzy hand associated with flannel. Brushing raises some of the cotton fibres from the surface of the cloth, giving it a warmer and softer feel while preserving the stability of the woven base underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes the fabric comfortable for garments worn close to the body while still providing enough structure for collars, cuffs, pockets, button plackets and other tailored details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is less fluid than fabrics such as viscose or lightweight cotton lawn.
