Materials
100% GOTS Certified Organic Cotton: Sourced from the finest European mills, our cotton is grown without harmful chemicals and processed according to strict environmental and social standards.
"Brushed Beyond Reason": The fabric is double-brushed on both sides to create a soft, "napped" surface that traps air for ultimate insulation and a signature cozy feel.
Yarn-Dyed for Longevity: Patterns are woven with pre-dyed yarns rather than printed on the surface, ensuring colors stay vibrant and deep for years of wear.
Heavyweight Durability: Tightly woven to minimize shrinkage and maximize warmth, this is authentic flannel built for a lifetime, not a season.
Additional Details
Care & Longevity:
To preserve the "brushed" softness for a lifetime, we recommend a disciplined care routine. Machine wash cool/cold and tumble dry low. Avoid high heat, as artificial heat can strip the natural oils from the organic fibers, causing them to stiffen over time.
Field-Ready Utility: The Campbell Blue Standard Original gear for the forest, the field, and the journey home. A truly great flannel is more than a layer; it is a piece of American heritage designed to provide a lifetime of "natural integrity" and warmth.
The Selection: The Gold Standard of Comfort At Kempain Family Outfitters, we prioritize materials that feel substantial without sacrificing a soft, "napped" hand-feel. We selected the Vermont Flannel Classic because it utilizes a unique "Brushed Beyond Reason" process. By double-brushing the fabric on both sides, the makers in Vermont create a signature cozy feel that traps air for ultimate insulation.
"Not all flannel is created equal, there is a lot of cheap junk out there" says Jordan. "I chose to sell Vermont Flannel Company flannels because the quality is superior and handcrafted in America. The Campbell Blue pattern is my favorite because the yarn-dyed blue colors are vibrant and deep."
