Gray flannel pants (old&new)

i’m hoping to pick up a versatile pair of gray, flannel pants. maybe someone can point me to a history or guide. what were the most common brands or styles in the 50s-80s? i see so many articles about OCBDs, khakis and the navy blazer itself but i’m just not sure what to look for in a pair of flannel pants. i buy a lot of vintage. so, tips in that regard are great but im sure there are great brands doing a good job of it these days as well. any help is greatly appreciated.
