I can't find the link right now, but I'm pretty sure it's a violation of Daddy Types' charter for me to endorse "minkee chenille" under any circumstances and satin for anything but tracksuits, and only then for breakdance contests to help save the local rec center from destruction by evil developers.
That said, if either the Skullfinity or the Retrorobots blankets on the Baby Leo Designs website are actually flannel and not just cotton, I'd be willing to bend the rules just this once.

Me (a geeky mom that works at a robotics company) - I love our RetroRobots blanket that was gifted to us. I find the blanket perfectly warm without being fleece.
My Husband (a manly ubergeek) - Doesn't mind the minky and refers to it as fleece. ;)
It's all in the nomenclature.
Shoot. In my cold-drug induced stupor, I forgot to tell you that the robot fabric is made of cotton.
