On a blustery winter day, there is no comparison to the feeling of putting on a warm flannel robe. Somehow the thought of putting on your robe eases the pain of leaving your warm covers behind. In many ways a good flannel robe is simply an extension of your warm cozy bed covers. My favorite thing to do is to throw my robe into the dryer for a few minutes and then putting it on becomes truly heavenly. The other great thing about flannel robes, besides how warm and comfortable they are, is that if you take even minimal care of them they can last you forever. I have enjoyed my robe for the better part of a decade.
Given my odd obsession with robes, I have every type of robe under the sun: terry cloth, wool, cotton, and silk. If you refuse to choose a flannel robe, my second choice would have to be a terry cloth robe. However, this would only be because terry cloth can also double as a towel, saving me from extra laundry. It is not nearly as comfortable as my flannel one, and does not hold up to the wear and tear of time nearly as well. I’m telling you folks, I think flannel is the way to go, at least in the winter time when the cold can chill your bones. And, for good measure, you should also go out and purchase yourself a nice flannel shirt and flannel pajama pants to wear underneath, and then you will be completely protected from harsh temperatures.
If you are a nerd like me, you are probably wondering where flannel originated from. Well luckily for you, I looked up the history of the flannel robe and found its origin. Flannel originated in Wales from Welsh coal miners. Their wives needed to find a way to keep them warm while they were down in the coal mine, and so they created this warmer fabric. While you are most likely not wearing your flannel to a coal mine every day, flannel is beneficial. Think of the money you can save on your heating bills!
Most of these robes have a belt so they are adjustable, as well as pockets to easily carry a pair of reading glasses or your cell phone. And while flannel used to only come in blue or red, now you can find examples of these robes and other warm flannel night shirt examples in a variety of colors and patterns! Most recently I saw a funky red and black version from my favorite clothing catalog.
If you think you don’t have much use for a flannel robe, you are wrong! Flannel robes are great for an evening in, as well as a lazy Sunday in front of the fireplace. There is nothing like grabbing a good book to read or just relaxing on the couch knowing you’ll be nice and warm for the evening.
Although I do not know much about fashion, comfort is my middle name. These robes are the definition of comfort! Trust me on this one.
