Linen Cotton Blend

Linen is a sought-after menswear summer fibre because of its rigidity, strength, lightness and moisture-wicking properties. Woven into cloth, it is slightly rough in feel, breathable because of the hollow nature of flax and mildly absorbent – a perfect fabric for high summer. Cotton, on the other hand, is a softer natural fibre, with greater give and flexibility. It makes for a smooth spring-autumn cloth and is highly absorbent. Together, this linen-cotton blend provides the best of both worlds – a robust but just-flexible-enough cloth, with the weaker cotton fabric smoothing out the rough linen. Constructed into a tailored garment, it’s a fabric to last through the years if sparingly dry cleaned and instead steamed often.
