Linen's hollow fibres breathe and wick moisture better than cotton, which is why it feels cool in heat. It also drapes with a crisp, airy structure and softens with every wash. The famous wrinkling is intrinsic to the fibre — embrace it rather than fight it.
Linen can relax slightly with wear and shrink a touch in the wash, so fit is a little less predictable than a stable synthetic.
