Provenance
Fabric
A vegetal product of the flax plant, linen fabric is characterised by it's 'slubby' texture. It allows air to circulate and heat to dissipate, keeping you cool and comfortable in warm weather. It is also extremely strong, capable of withstanding regular wear and tear. Cotton, on the other hand, provides softness and comfort. Cotton fibres are smooth, breathable and have superior durability, retaining their shape and colour after multiple washes. When woven together, linen and cotton become the yin to the other's yang. The blend balances the lightweight and airy qualities of linen with the softness and versatility of cotton. Linen also strengthens the fabric, while cotton enhances its longevity.
Performance
Construction
This garment is made with soft shoulders, which means the shoulders are stripped of excess structure and padding. It is a sartorial technique commonly associated with Neapolitan tailoring allowing the shoulders to drape naturally, without the stuffiness of padding. This creates a softer, more relaxed silhouette that follows the contours of the body without excessive stiffness or structure.
