Feeling the heat even during your WFH meetings or from commuting to office? We are too... Linen has been one of the top picks from our clients through for both Shirtings and even Suitings, and it is our of our personal favourites as well. It’s one of the key options that are great at wicking off the sweat, apart from the 100% Cottons we’ve always been banging about
And those “crinkles” you were not so sure on? It’s nothing to worry about - in fact, these “crinkles” is a beauty and characteristic of the fabric. We think it adds character and a different touch to your typical Shirts or Suits.
For Suits, Linen lends a good balance of soft and structured drape, and we love that it can still look pretty damn sharp to take you through the week days to weekends! At the moment, we carry a few Linen bunches and you can expect interesting weavings from three of our top picks - hailing from Italy: Reda 1865's Wool-Linen collection, Trabaldo Togna’s 100% Linen with natural stretch series, or our latest selections of Linen, Wool & Silk mixes from the France made Solbiati as well. Take a sneak peak at what’s available on our shelves:

Well for some of you who love a pop of colour and going against the grain for what Linens are remembered for, then yes we got you still.
