Linen / Flax
Pure Linen
Linen is woven from the fibers of the flax plant — one of the oldest cultivated fiber crops in human history. The fiber is hollow, which gives linen exceptional breathability and moisture-wicking, and the natural slubs (variations in yarn thickness) give the fabric its distinctive texture. Linen wrinkles easily, but in a way that many consider a feature — the lived-in look is part of its character. For warm-weather apparel, linen is unmatched.

FAQ
Common questions about pure linen.
Does linen shrink a lot?
Untreated linen can shrink 5-10% on first wash. We supply pre-washed (garment-washed or stone-washed) linen that has ≤3% residual shrinkage.
Can you do linen-cotton blends?
Yes — 55/45, 60/40, and 70/30 linen-cotton blends are all common. The blend reduces wrinkling and improves drape.
Is European linen available?
Yes — Belgian and Italian linen (Libeco, Solbiati) on request. Standard stock is Chinese linen from Shandong province.
