The flax fibres are inherently stiff and robust in nature, and they are formed in a rigid structure, making the fabric hard to stretch and increasing its durability significantly.
Linen is the second most durable textile next to silk and makes it 30% stronger than cotton.
ASORBENT & MOISTURE WICK
One of the most prominent characteristics of linen is its water absorption and quick-drying properties.
Linen fabric has a moisture-wick ability that keeps your sweat away from your body and absorbs the moisture quickly, providing you ultimate comfort during hot days.
More importantly, because of its quick-drying ability, it can suppress unpleasant body order, and it does not let the fabric cling on to your body.
That is why linen is the most comfortable and breathable fabric for the summer and the top choice for summer wear.
THERMO REGULATION & HEAT CONDUCTIVITY
Linen fabric naturally acts as a thermostat – automatically adjusting the temperature during hot and cold days.
Linen draws the heat away from your body, providing you an incredible and airy feeling providing extraordinary breathability and comfort during the summer.
In addition to that, it has impressive heat retention capability trapping the heat inside to keep you warm during the winter. This distinctive advantage is missing among other fabrics, especially in cotton, and hence linen’s top contender in fashion clothing.
HYPOALLEGENIC & ANTI-BACTERIAL PROPERTIES
Since it absorbs water instantly, making no breeding ground for bacteria or moulds to develop, linen fabric is the perfect choice for people with allergic disorders.
ELASTICITY
Linen has poor elasticity, and that is why linen is basically prone to creases and wrinkles. Because of this, flax fibers do not stretch.
Linen clothing is believed to last longer and will stay beautifully the same after a decade. As a matter of fact, linen clothing is expected to last up to 30 more years with proper care and maintenance.
