2. I've noticed in recent years, that flannel isn't the quality it used to be.

I'm looking at the LL Bean stunning $ amount vs Target.

Flannel of "yesterday" didn't pill and the weave effected just the right amount of denseness. if the sheet was held up against the light, it didn't seep through. I need a set of good quality flannels, and prefer solid colors with no plaid or other print designs. But I certainly cannot afford LL Bean's price range.

Anyone buy theirs from Target? How's the quality seem for you?

I know you get what you pay for, but if the ones at Target are actually flannel and not the so called "brush" (which I hate) I'd go with Target if the quality is sufficient enough.
