Poplin, viyela and flannel: the fabrics of our pajamas
At El Búho Nocturno we are known for manufacturing men's clothing of the highest quality-price ratio. Seeking to optimize the balance between cost and quality, a factor of great importance – if not the most important – is the quality and type of fabric. Particularly, and in relation to our flagship product, the traditional classic fabric pajamas for men, the quality of the fabric turns out to be a key factor.
In the manufacturing and packaging process, we take care of all the details. The fabrics used are selected with the greatest comfort for you, the customers, in mind. The fabrics we use in our products are mainly poplin, viyela and flannel. In this note, we will present the main characteristics so that you can choose your pajamas with complete knowledge.
Poplin is a thin fabric and its French origin dates back to the 15th century when, in Avignon, it was used mainly for liturgical clothing. The pope dressed in this fabric and this is where his name comes from. Poplin can be made from different raw materials: natural (vegetable or animal fibers), artificial (vegetable cellulose that imitates cotton or silk) and synthetic (which originate from petroleum). At El Búho Nocturno we manufacture two lines of pajamas in poplin fabric: 100% cotton - for greater comfort and sensitive skin - and another, a little more economical, since it uses a combination of 60% cotton and 40% polyester. Both are soft, resistant and rigid options that make ironing easier and reduce wrinkles.
The viyela is a diagonally arranged fabric that emerged around the 18th century and was traditionally made of cotton and wool, from which Its thickness characterized it as the appropriate fabric for autumn and winter. Our viyela is 100% cotton and has this diagonal construction. With a natural finish, with well-fixed colors and a special fall.
Lastly, we offer a line of men's pajamas and pajama pants made with flannel fabric. This fabric emerged and became popular in the 17th century in Wales, and is established, par excellence, as the winter fabric due to its thickness and surface fleece that retain heat and give it softness to the touch. This fabric goes through a mechanical brushing process in which a fine metal brushes the fabric to create fine fibers. This brushing can be done on just one side, or on both sides. The latter, which resembles the skin of a peach, is called “Double-Peach” and is the one we use in El Búho Nocturno .
We hope this note has been useful to you. We invite you to visit our online store to choose the pajamas that best suit your tastes and needs.
