ALL ABOUT LINEN

One great thing about wearing linen is that it provides many health benefits. It's not that it's going to cure diabetes or lower cholesterol, but since it's a 100% natural plant fiber, it means that the pH of perspiration, no matter what, doesn't affect your clothes, which is very healthy.

For centuries, ancient Egyptians considered flax sacred and a symbol of purity and health. In fact, the flax plant was cultivated more than 5,000 years ago in certain regions of India.

So, in addition to being a natural fiber that offers total distinction, it will keep you cool, safe, and comfortable. It's perfect for wearing when the cold weather leaves or for any warm climate. It's a fact that no matter how many years go by, it never goes out of style. This beautiful fabric continues to be used, and will remain so forever.

If you're living in sin and don't have a single item of this precious material in your "gentleman's" wardrobe, please read these points and get your credit card out.

1. 100% NATURAL VEGETABLE FIBER

This fabric is made from plant fibers, specifically from the flax plant. It is a natural, biodegradable, and recyclable fiber that stands out for its strength and lightness, twice that of cotton fabrics.

2. IT IS BREATHABLE, ABSORBENT AND COOL

Like cotton, linen is made into fabrics characterized by their breathability and moisture absorption. In fact, breathability increases by 150% compared to cotton fabrics, and skin temperature decreases by 3-4°C compared to cotton or silk shirts. Thanks to its heat-conducting properties, it allows you to stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. In fact, its conductivity is five times greater than wool and 18 times greater than silk. This makes linen shirts suitable not only for spring and summer but also for winter.

In terms of absorption capacity, it absorbs body sweat and wicks it away. Thanks to its molecular structure, linen can absorb up to 20% of its weight before feeling wet, and it evaporates more quickly.

3. IT IS VERY RESISTANT AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT WRINKLES

Linen is two to three times more durable than cotton. In fact, the oldest surviving garment in history is a linen shirt!

If your linen shirt wrinkles, don't panic; it will still look perfectly elegant. It's a characteristic of the garment and is intrinsic to the very nature of the fabric. If the shirt is made with a cotton blend, it will wrinkle less, but the appearance won't be the same as a 100% linen shirt.

4. IMPROVES CIRCULATION AND IS HYPOALLERGENIC

In addition to being hypoallergenic, it stimulates blood circulation. This makes the person wearing a linen shirt feel more relaxed and stress-free (no kidding).

5. WIDE RANGE OF COLORS AND VERY COMBINABLE

Linen offers a billion combinations, always providing that touch of elegance and standing out from all the cottons or synthetics that come along in these hot days.

OK, we've perfectly understood the wonders of linen, but how do I wear it successfully without looking like an '80s Luismi attempt lost in the city? READ MORE
