Roll of Flannel Wrapping Material

The flannel standing wraps are an equestrian classic – when paired with a quilt, they make the original standing bandage. We offer this flannel wraps material with in a roll so you can customize your horse bandages. Flannel bandages are less stretchy than cotton standing bandages. The less stretch with flannel results in fewer pressure points on the leg, possibly reducing the risk of a bandage bow.

Flannel Length

This is a roll of 6in wide (standard width), 150 feet long that can be cut to suit your need. Typical flannel wraps come in two, pre-cut lengths: 10 feet and 12 feet. The 10-foot flannel standing wraps are typically for small horses or front legs of standard sized horses. The 12 foot is typically for hind legs or if you’re using thick pillow wraps. The roll is perfect for shipping bandages because standard 10 or 12 foot bandages won’t typically wrap properly around a shipping bandage.

Flannel Bandages Velcro Options

Looking for flannel standing wraps with velcro? The velcro makes wrapping a bit easier and does not require tape or pins to keep the wraps in place. We offer pre-cut flannel bandages with velcro. 

Flannel Side Option

There are two sides to a flannel bandage: soft, fuzzy side and a more rough side. The soft, fuzzy side will pick up a massive amount of wood shavings – what we typically use in temp stalls for Eventing. If you use wood shavings, go with the fuzzy side in. If you use straw, the fuzzy side out won’t be such a factor. Overall, this is just a preference and does not (arguably) change the performance of the bandage. If your coach suggested you purchase flannel standing wraps, ask them what their preference is before making a purchase.

Caring for your Flannel Standing Wraps

You can use your flannel wraps right out of the bag. Once they’re dirty, wash them in a bandage bag or other small laundry bag. Cold water is best using a non-irritating detergent without fabric softener. After the first wash, your new flannel standing bandages WILL frey at the ends – DON’T WORRY. Simply cut the freys and move on. Washing a second and a third time may result in more freys. Don’t fret… just cut. After the third or fourth wash, they will stop fraying and you will be left with what we call the “seasoned” look – Abercrombie sold “distressed” jeans like this for $150 🙂
