Linen shirts - summer style
Linen shirts are classic summer wear and offer a light and casual alternative to cotton. Linen shirts are made from the fibres of the flax plant and the fabric is loosely woven to allow air to circulate through, keeping the wearer cool even in the hottest weather.
As many men will be all too aware, man-made materials such as polyester are ill-advised during the warm summer months and even cotton can sometimes be too heavy and restrictive on a particularly hot day.
As a natural product, linen is used all around the world to ensure a smart, yet climate-effective product. The loose weave allows warm air to escape, leaving the wearer feeling cool and comfortable for longer. A bespoke tailored shirt will ensure a perfect fit, optimising the linen's comforting qualities.
Long staple linen shirts can be expensive, and the fabric is woven in small amounts. Linen is a good conductor of heat, and this also helps to keep the wearer cool. It is also significantly stronger than cotton and hard-wearing.
Curtis & Dyer offers a selection of very high quality linen shirt fabrics, which can be incorporated into a bespoke shirt designed according to your exact requirements. Please visit the shirt designer part of the website to find out more about our linen shirts.
