There are only FIVE Fridays left until Christmas. Each Friday, as we get closer to the holiday, I’ll share a fun or interesting gift with you…
Today’s holiday gift idea is something that’s dear to my sons’ warm little hearts (and legs) — flannel lined jeans!
A few years ago I picked up a pair of these on clearance for my oldest son. Whenever they were clean, they were the first pair he’d pull out of his drawer when getting dressed. When he finally outgrew them, he lamented that they were the “warmest, softest” jeans he’d ever worn. I promised to buy him a new pair, passing the old pair down to my younger son.
Though that pair of jeans has seen better days, they’re still warm, soft, and loved by his younger brother. My kids especially like wearing flannel lined jeans on snow-play days for an extra layer of warmth under their snow pants.
My husband also has a pair of flannel-lined jeans that he loves for similar reasons — they’re great for attending outdoor sports events in the winter, and they’re even warmer under snow gear when he’s headed out to shovel snow or work outside in the winter. The positive raves from my guys prompted me to pick up a pair for myself too!
Flannel-lined jeans aren’t the easiest thing to find in department stores though. Old Navy used to stock them all the time, but they appear to be an online-only item now. Farm and Fleet stores do carry them, as do some outdoor gear stores. I’ve done a roundup of places to get them online too and their current prices. Note that prices can change at any time. Wherever I’ve shown a price range, the prices vary by style and size:

During last years’ “Polar Vortex” nonsense, I searched high and low for a pair of flannel-lined jeans for myself. I could not find them at any price and wasn’t going to let it happen again this year! For months now I’ve had my eye out for a pair of attractive flannel lined jeans and my diligence and early searching has paid off! Since Fall I’ve grabbed some up at ridiculously fabulous prices (yea!) and am shamelessly addicted to them! I expect to don a pair daily until March (exluding holidays and the like, where I’ll have to revert to “regular” clothes and brave the cold!) Okay, maybe not quite everyday, but it certainly makes the cold temperatures so much more bearable!
If anyone is even remotely thinking about getting a pair of these, I suggest doing it sooner rather than later, given the very hard time I had finding a pair after the holidays and arctic weather hit last year. I’d also suggest watching sizing and reviews, as they’re not all created equal. But when you find the right ones….AH! They’re warm and oh-so-cozy, and you’ll be glad you have them!
Thanks for posting about my latest obsession today Jill. It made me smile! :)

We have found these are a must for watching our grandkids’ football games though the season is done now. When we take them downtown to see the Christmas windows and lights in Chicago we always wear them too. So nice for days you want to be extra warm but don’t want to wear ski pants.

My husband had a pair of flannel jeans that he loved and wore walking our dog and snow shoveling. He did not need them anymore when we moved across country and gave them on to his brother. I sure wished I had some last night as I was at a very cold high school football game in Phoenix and was freezing! I may have to look for a pair for myself…
