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.

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.

Linen is THE god-tier fabric for any place that surpasses 20 degrees. I own tweed for November to April and linen for Mai to October. Nothing more satisfactory than showing up to a signing in a linen suit all cool and comfortable while the guy making thrice my wage being all redfaced, drippin (in a bad way) and close to a heat stroke in his 2k wool twill. But it's less formal I hear you say, I take "less formal" over contracts with sweat stains all day every day, thank you very much.

I discovered the benefits of linen the first time I wore historically accurate period clothing at a renaissance fair. Despite having on 3 layers of fabric (a linen shirt and linen and wool doublet) once I started sweating I stayed comfortable the rest of the afternoon despite the temperatures being in the upper 80’s low 90’s. The fact that linen dries so quickly meant I could take advantage of a breeze and get natural AC

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.

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.

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!

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.

Linen is the only fabric I can wear on hot days, it makes a huge difference in staying cool and dry. This year I finally completed my whole summer capsule in 100% linen, nearly everything else is put away until November. (I left out a few very light cotton sweaters and leggings for cool mornings). I love linen jersey, too, in addition to the classic woven linen fabrics. It’s slightly warmer than woven versions, but still very cool, it stretches and doesn’t need ironing. Ironing linen is very hot work, which is why I have so many items in it: I wash them as needed, then will iron everything thoroughly when the weather cools down. My little laundry room doesn’t cool down below the mid-80s for the whole summer, I just can’t iron then, even with my big fan (my ironing board can’t be moved easily and it’s not that much cooler in my other rooms anyway). My tip for washing linen is to use the machine’s gentle cycle to reduce wrinkling. The linen items will come out sopping wet because of the slow spin cycle, but I just hang dry them, they can drip onto a towel or pan (a brand-new kitty litter box is perfect for this, and cheap). Linen dries quickly, doesn’t shrink and is eco-friendly. Flax, the plant from which linen fiber is derived, needs neither irrigation, nor chemicals, if grown where it thrives naturally, Europe and similar-climate parts of Asia.

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.

As a woman, and a long-term stylist, I suggest trying that mint or pink shown on the quick glance at the website as an extra color, especially for those with cool-toned coloring, we ladies love men in light colors. (Of, course, after your basic white, pale blue and stripe as suggested in the video). For those men with warm-toned skin, khaki green or a warm beige is great, too. A navy or beige linen suit (with breathable lining) is a great option for summer informal meetings, dates or casual weddings or other events. You’ll wear it more than you think because it’s so cool and comfy.

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.

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.

For linen suiting, make sure the lining fabric is a breathable one like cotton, lyocell or rayon/viscose. They cost a little more than polyester but are essential. There’s just no point in wearing linen if there’s a layer of plastic between it and the skin and body! It’s much harder to find breathable linings, but a few brands do have them, try the Premium High Street level rather than mass-market brands.

Matter of fact, having my luggage lost worked out for the best, because I would have been in the same predicament as the other. They even acknowledged that I wasn't sweating and you could see the breeze flowing freely on my clothing. Linen is for heatwave climates. I'll be wearing them in Egypt 2025.

While I don't have to dress well much these days, my old linen stuff is great. That said, I have hemp and some bamboo clothing that are great for year-round use in the upper Midwest. Everything else is cotton and/or wool with some cashmere for winter. Just need to air-dry to keep shrinking to a minimum. I really hate synthetics.

Flax production has been on the decline since WWII, I sincerely hope it's fiber production can be promoted because Linen is at risk of fading away. Thank you for making this video to raise awareness of at least the fiber!

I wish you had gone into the difference between flax linnen and remie linnen. Pros and cons of each, and how to tell them apart. I know some, but I feel there is much more for me to learn. And many consumers aren't even aware that more fibers than those of flax are sold under the umbrella term linnen.

My linen shirts are slightly see through. Not sure if I should consider an undershirt sometimes but then it won't be as breathable

I like to "cheat" with wrinkle release spray before wearing. An 8th of the time compared to ironing. Completely unrelated: I just got a cashmere sweater. WOW.

I love linen in the summertime - but I have a hard time finding pieces these days! I'm short and husky, so fit is difficult (I have to get most things altered) - and frankly, I got a little too paunchy for my last couple pairs of linen pants.

Gonna design my own brand for both summer casual wear and for gym. I get it. Tons of people branding gym wear. Still going to do. Can never have too many options. However, im a fan of linen but makes me wonder why they dont have zippers on linen pants. They tend to be lose usually

Do iron your linen items well after washing, then forget about the creases while wearing it. They will not only look better, but feel much smoother and softer if ironed after washing.
