Why linen
The fabric that breathes
Linen is a fine, thermoregulating fibre: it absorbs moisture and lets air through, which is why it stays dry and cool when cotton sticks to your back. Its slightly irregular weave gives it that lively look no other fabric has.
Yes, linen creases: that’s its character, not a flaw. A made-to-measure linen shirt however makes fewer “wrong” creases, because there is no excess fabric bunching up at the waist or under the arms.
