“Channel the flannel” (winter saying)

“Channel the flannel” is a fall and winter saying that has been printed on many images. “Channel the flannel” has been cited in print since at least 2008.
 
“Other favorite phrase of the day, when referring to lesbians, or gays who need to butch up: “Channel the Flannel’” was posted on Twitter by “.the butch, caucus” on June 2, 2009. This version of the saying has been infrequently used.
   
       
5 March 2008, The Australian (Canberra, ACT), “The NERD gets the BIRD - Fashion Extra: Menswear Special” by Damien Woolnough, pg. 5:
“Channel the flannel for home counties chic,” says Ken Thompson, celebrity stylist. “It’s a very Ralph Lauren moment, with cricket hitting the right pitch. Think chunky cable-knit jumpers and school- boyish striped ties.”
