Construction notes
How this fabric behaves
Written by our technical team from production data, not marketing copy.
At 260 gsm this linen carries structure: it stands away from the body, holds a pleat and works for sleeveless dresses, soft jackets and heavier home textiles. It is woven from the same certified European flax as our lighter qualities, with a denser sett.
Finishing uses a longer stone-free wash cycle to soften the heavier cloth without breaking the yarn surface. If you need a fully opaque result for unlined styles, ask for the double-washed version, which reduces light transmission by roughly 30%.
Ordering notes
- Lab dips are prepared in 7–10 days including courier; one re-dip is free.
- Bulk production starts after dip approval and runs 25–35 days.
- Roll lengths are 50–120 m; short rolls are declared on the packing list.
- Shrinkage is measured to ≤4% warp, ≤3% weft on the finished fabric. Cutting allowances should still be confirmed on your own wash standard.
Questions
Heavy Linen 260 FAQ
Specification and ordering questions specific to this fabric.
Is 260 gsm linen too heavy for dresses?
Not for structured silhouettes. It suits sleeveless dresses, pinafores and soft tailoring. For fluid, gathered dresses choose 180 gsm instead.
Can heavy linen be used for upholstery?
It can be used for cushions and light domestic upholstery, but for contract upholstery we recommend a Martindale-tested blend with a higher abrasion rating.
