THIS WEEK WIT
Winter Flannels
The tust flannel undeiweai was uwd
in Boston by ! otd Percy s icgmienl
(who must hate appreciated it
gieatly') w'hen they wete encamped on
the common in Octobci ol 1774
Iheie was barely enough llannel
cloth in the town lot that one tegi
menl Flannels came to be almost
synonymous with long undetwear,
thanks to the severity ol New England
wtnleis Union suits followed shortly,
being the same idea in a united shirt
and pants These days, flannel is more otten seen
around town as a plaid or striped shut
Stick to your winter flannels until your
flannels stick to you.
TIP OF THE WEEK
tsr Recycle old flannels into shoe-shine rags or dust
cloths.
