Linen
Linen is made from the flax plant, one of humanity's oldest textile fibres. It has a quality that hardly any other fabric possesses: it does not deteriorate with time, but becomes softer.
Every wash relaxes the fiber a little more, until the fabric feels like you've always worn it.
A fabric that grows with you
Cotton is soft from day one and stays that way. Linen starts out textured, almost stiff, and only develops into its true form through use.
Those who want immediate comfort reach for cotton. Those who want a garment that grows with them choose linen—and in return get breathability that cotton cannot provide in the heat.
The slight creasing is not a manufacturing defect but the signature of the fiber itself. Each crease is in a different place than the last time it was worn—no two times does a linen piece look exactly the same. It is precisely this irregularity that synthetic fabrics can never copy.
Technical detail
Linen is differentiated by weight in grams per square meter – lighter qualities for hot days, heavier for structure and drape. Our linen blends combine breathability with shape retention.
