The Vermont Flannel Company was founded by Mark and Linda Baker in East Barre, Vermont in 1991. In 2022, the company became part of USA Brands, a group focused on supporting American apparel production, while Vermont Flannel’s team and operations remained rooted in Vermont.

Yes. Vermont Flannel’s products are hand-cut, sewn, and inspected in the United States by American production teams. The company has maintained its commitment to domestic manufacturing since 1991.

Vermont Flannel sources its premium flannel fabric from a trusted partner in Portugal, where specialized commercial flannel production remains available. The fabric is then transformed into finished garments and home goods in the United States.

The fabric is brushed on both sides to raise the soft surface known as the nap. Vermont Flannel describes its process as brushing the fabric “beyond reason,” creating the exceptionally soft feel the brand is known for.

With limited exceptions, Vermont Flannel uses 100% organic cotton flannel. Its primary fabric is yarn-dyed, tightly woven, and made to strict environmental and social standards before being cut and sewn in America.

Most of the brand’s cotton flannel can be machine washed in cool water and dried on low heat or carefully hang dried. The tightly woven fabric is designed to minimize shrinkage, though customers should always follow the care instructions on the individual product.
