Linen Explained - Men's Summer Fabric Guide

I like a lot that you give advice on how to care for different materials. 👍❤️

Linen is nice

Wow. I didn't know that linen and flax comes from the same plant. I like linen in my sheets and clothes (currently in a tropical country so yeah). I also eat a lot of flax. So, wow. The linum plant is awesome!

I think ironing linens can be done casually without even trying to "get all the wrinkles out" because you won't get all the wrinkles out. That's what linen is naturally. Fashionably wrinkled.

Linen shirts soften with age, one way to speed up the process. Soak the shirt in a bicarbonate of soda mix for 24 hours.

Absolutely wonderful content and presentation, thank you Raphael.

Very informative video. As a teacher of textiles and fashion I was listening for information on clothes for women using linen fabric. Your information lines up with what learners need to know.

Lovely & helpful video. Thank you.

Interesting video. 😀👍

Not sure about the person practicing brush on a snare drumming though.

I send my linen to the dry cleaners, is this wrong?

That was a wonderful discussion of linen fabric. Thank you very much.😊

very frustrating. just looking to buy a couple of excellent linen shirts. ?

Very informative video!! thanks for producing this. This video is very in depth, and provides lots of technical insights about linen production, the variety of fabrics available for shirts. jackets, other linen products. Well worth spending the 18minutes to watch this video!

Linen in Europe was traditionally what underwear and bedding was made of. As it was good at absorbing a lot of our body dirt and can survive rough washing well.
Talking entire medieval period up until the 19th century. Slavery made cotton cheaper and thus preferred.
Thus an undyed linen shirt is the quintessential piece of linen as long as you use it as your underwear as well as undyed linen underpants.

Linen is the best fabric. So breathabl and so soft. The fact is wrinkles, means ironing is much less important, since it will just wrinkle anyways. Still good to do, but not as good as a job then lets say a cotton shirt. Can be layered very nicely with lots of outfits. Also great for nightclubs id youre into that type od thing. typed on my phone

I wished I kept my linen suit, I thought it was tacky to have so many wrinkles

Great pants

in a 40 degree celcius country, linen suits are a MUST

Where do I buy affordable linen for men?
