Martha: He came to Metropolis U. to take a finance course and he was sitting by a

fountain all denim (wearing jeans?) and flannel eating an apple. And I asked to borrow

his notes. He didn't know that I was the note-taker for the class. (she supplied the class with her notes because

no one took notes?) He still doesn't.

Clark: You were sly, Mom.

You pretty much have it.  Denim and flannel are obviously two kinds of fabric, and the reasonable assumption would be that the combination he wore took the form of a flannel shirt and denim pants (i.e. jeans).

It doesn't mean that no one else took notes, only that she always did because it was her job.  The point is that she asked to see his notes as an excuse to talk to him, not because she really needed them.
