@RealMenRealStyle What are your thoughts on buying a linen blend like a cotton linen blend? Doesn't the blend make it easier to care for, softer, and less wrinkly?

[@justsomerandomnesss604]

How long will this deal last? I'm very tempted to pick something up but I usually wait a few days before ordering (or at least I tell myself that to make me feel good)

[@ryandaverayla4910]

Here in the Philippines, Linen used to be the fabric of choice for most people. These days, not so much. It is great to see someone talk about the qualities of this fabric to illustrate to people that it is best worn in tropical climates. We are currently experiencing a heat wave, linen should be making a major comeback here.

[@silverjohn6037]

If I remember correctly flax, where linen fibers come from, doesn't do too well in very hot climates. Is it grown locally or does it have to be imported? That might have an impact.

[@thatoneguy7047]

I was just debating on whether to buy some linen clothing here in the US or wait until we land in Cebu next week. I'm going to do my shopping before our trip. Thanks for sharing!

Living in the South, linen is your best friend. Trousers, shorts, shirts, jackets, suits, caps...trust me...just wear the linen.

[@funDAYsmiling]

Yeah, but I have all kinds of Linen clothes though rarely bother wearing them because regardless of the kind of linen, unlike Mulberry silk which just "flows" especially while I'm out jogging every morning or evening, linen has that "stiff" quality to it which not even regular (stinky) cotton does. So linen does always "look great" (I agree-of course), but is always a stiff type of fabric.

[@funDAYsmiling]

What I love about linen the most is that it doesn't look messy to wear even if having a few slight wrinkles.

[@ABC-rh7zc]

Some linens are paper thin and low quality but cheap. Many people may try those and be disappointed. High quality Irish linen is what you should go for, Even if a linen is thicker and heavier it still breathes will and keeps you cool, but the thicker fabric will be more durable and strong and will wrinkle less.

[@silverjohn6037]

Funny you call it paper thin as linen fibers is what paper money used to be made of before countries went to synthetic bills.

All my linen is about 25+ years old from Banana Republic. Button up shirts and shorts. Bought it in my early 20s. It's soft and still looks good. Even on sale it wasn't cheap but it's been great quality stuff I've worn every summer since.

[@cristinelgheorghiu5294]

Banana Republic are no longer what they used to be in terms of quality fabric. You're lucky to keep them and care them for such a long time.

I wish i could share in here a picture of myself a few years ago wearing loafers, linen trousers, a linen Henley, and a Panama hat. It was a backyard shindig at a friend's house at the end of July. I was really comfortable and easily the best dressed man in that yard. Whenever i visit family in Arizona when it's hot (when isn't it hot in Arizona?!), I break out the loafers and the linen! I get looks from people since most don't wear linen in the Phoenix area, but I've just learned to embrace the looks. I may not be sexy, but I'm stylish and I know it!

[@cameronvallejo4157]

How stylish ! I’d like to get similar outfit or sometimes daydreaming of some beige suit from breathable fabric like linen toppled with a sleek Panama hat. I must admit summer is my most challenging season to find my own style and comfort

I love my linen shirts. Last year, I found a white linen shirt that was perfect in every way, so I went back and bought a whole stack of them. I've also got some linen pants and jackets, and even a white linen suit for certain occasions.

Linen is a wonderful fabric! One of my favorites, and I don’t mind the extra ironing!🙌

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Me too!

[@a24-45]

One thing I like about 100% linen is that it has this weird quality I call "bounce". What I mean is that linen fabric doesn't like to squash flat; unlike some more loose-weave 100% cottons, which can crumple and collapse like a dishrag. Linen may crinkle, yet paradoxically it has innate shape. So it always tends to hang well, even if creased. This is why tailored pants and even an unlined jacket of linen can look dressy. So linen is just perfect for the summers where I live which are very high in humidity. I love how linen doesn't cling to sweaty skin, (the bounce makes the fabric sit slightly away from the body and therefore feel cooler than cotton). Always give any linen garment you are thinking of buying the "crush" test, by crushing a portion in your closed fist -- it should want to bounce back into shape when you open your fist, not lie there limply like a used tissue. TIP: cheap linens do feel rough at first, but soften nicely with washing as the video says. Top quality linens do not feel rough at all, even at the beginning. NB do not get cotton/linen blends ], they are too droopy and clingy and lack enough bounce. They are good for teatowels though.

[@kyproset]

Thank you, sir, for the additional valuable info on linen. I love it as here where I live, it gets hot in the summer. It's a wonderful material and it looks classy as well.

[@zithnaja]

In Sweden there is a saying "När ull blir till mull, blir lin till gull", which roughly translates to "when wool gets old, linen turns to gold"

Hello! I’m sliding in to make a comment. I just purchased my first 100% linen blouses and I’m hooked! I live in the deep south where it’s hot and humid 10/12 months. I’ve always been a cotton person but the linen is so soft, comfortable and breathable, now I’m spoiled. They weren’t cheap so thank you for the informative review about the durability of 100% linen. Now that I know that I’ll buy several more. I think your color suggestions for guys was spot-on, I think a man looks really good in pink/pastels and the sage color you had on would look good on just about anyone and useful year-round. I just left a review for mine and I’m having a serious linen-crush . This has to be the holy grail of fabrics. Thanks for your enjoyable and informative videos.

[@TheBlackToedOne]

LOOOVE my linen shirts. So incredibly comfortable. It feels and looks so much classier than all the other materials. Walk in to a gathering or just some place in public like a restaurant or a lounge or - anything - and you are already at least a full level above everyone else. It's like it gives its wearer a completely different mindset.

[@Alarcahu]

Easily my favourite fabric. Best thing for an Aussie summer… and spring and autumn

Well said. I’ve lived most of my life in the heat of south Texas and the humidity of east Texas. Looking back through the years, my favorite and most durable shirts and sport coats were 100% linen. To maintain the linen sport coat, I bought a midsized steamer. The steamer also works great tool with wool suits.

[@Rogue.Warrior]

Interestingly too is that Texas has its own native flax.

[@appalachiangunman9589]

I have a couple of 100% linen shirts, and one that is 55/45 linen/cotton. Those are the coolest shirts I’ve ever owned. Many people assume that polyester polos, tees, etc being thin and lightweight will be cool but is actually quite the opposite. Synthetic fibers do not breathe good and will cause you to sweat a lot more.

[@vincidicaprio298]

[@benjaminwoodard4523]

Love your videos. This one is especially relevant to my wardrobe. I was inspired by the opening scene in 2006 Casino Royal. Since then I have become well acquainted with linen and its virtues. You mentioned a lot of great tips and I would like to add a few tips that I have picked up along the way. You mentioned that linen should fit on the looser side. This is true for the added benefits of maximizing the breathablity. It is also important because linen will separate at seams that are stressed. The back of the arm seam and the seat of the trousers can tear/separate if too tight. Linen also can stretch through wear, in my experience. Linen blends seem to not wrinkle as much. Linen can give a you sophisticated look while being incredibly comfortable. Linen is a long fiber, so it is twice as strong as cotton,or so I’m told. This also makes linen more stain resistant, in my experience. I avoid washing linen with other fabrics, like towels.

[@Nick.Brough]

2 years ago I bought a linen shirt from my favourite shirtmaker for a trip to Egypt. Now own 5 more, bought off-season to get the best deals. Paired up with linen blazers and chinos you really can't go wrong.

[@AdamPippert]

Linen is awesome for cruises, but DO NOT let them wash it for you unless you get it pressed too. They don’t let you use an iron onboard, and the laundry doesn’t really care about pulling your clothes out of the dryer in time to minimize wrinkles.

[@anydugen]

One challenge that I have living in a humid environment, is that the sweat is quickly absorbed my the linen and changes the color so much, that, from a long way away, all you can see are sweat stains. It takes forever for those stains to evaporate, and by then, I've got new ones. Any advice/suggestions? Obviously, white and other very light colors would be one answer.
