A short encyclopedia entry defining flannelette as a cotton cloth made to imitate flannel. It covers the origin of the term in the 1880s, its construction with a coarser weft than warp, the raising of the weft to give a nap, and its uses for underclothing, nightwear and dresses. It also notes the fire hazard of flimsy grades, the fire-resisting 'Non-flam' patent, and where it was produced.
