Linen Plain-Weave

One thread over, one under — the oldest cloth there is, in breathable hand-loomed flax.

Plain-weave is the oldest cloth there is: one thread over, one thread under. In hand-loomed flax it produces a breathable fabric with a dry, papery hand that softens with every wash.

Our linen trousers are garment-washed before they reach you, so the softening has already begun.
