FAQs

Should linen shirts be baggy? ›

Linen is one of the oldest fabrics used in clothing and has long been prized for its unique properties. It's made from the fibres of the flax plant and has been cultivated for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians used to wear linen as a symbol of luxury and it's still favoured by many for its comfort and texture.

Should I iron linen clothes? Yes, preferably while the fabric is still a little moist. Ironed linen clothes become soft, shiny and more resistant to dirt. We'll of course recommend that you steam your linen instead of iron.

Do you wear an undershirt with a linen shirt? You don't have to, but there's nothing wrong with it.

While most people adhere to this, there really is no reason – especially in Southern California – not to wear it year round. So, get your “summer” linens out and enjoy the light, airy feeling of this natural fabric.

Should linen shirts be tucked in or out? ›

You can tuck it into your shorts, or leave it untucked — depending on your personal style. We find it's better to leave it untucked during the day (when your outfit is more casual), and tucked in when dressing up for the evening.

Does linen shrink? Yes linen will shrink naturally after its first wash. The average is around 4% shrinkage for pure linen. To prevent changes to the shape and size of clothing and textiles, many companies sell pre washed linen fabric.

Contrary to popular belief, linen is expensive not because of its historical link to aristocracy and ancient Pharaohs but simply because manufacturing linen is a laborious and timely process. On top of that the flax plant does not grow anywhere, adding further costs to the whole process.

Durability and Longevity

In reality, any cotton clothing could last for a season or approximately 5 years maximum, but linen clothing goes beyond one season and one decade. In fact, with proper care and washing, it could even last for up to 30 more years or past your lifetime.

Linen is notoriously prone to wrinkling, so it's advised you hang any linen shirts, trousers, or any other linen garments. The same goes for delicate fabrics like silk and satin; very easily wrinkled, you'd best be hanging these garments.

Linen stretches when you wear it. It should shrink back when you wash them.

Pure linen fibers don't stretch, and they are resistant to abrasion. However, because the fibers of linen fabric have such a low elasticity, they can break if they are folded and bent in the same area over and over.
