Construction notes
How this fabric behaves
Written by our technical team from production data, not marketing copy.
Woven from 100% certified European flax, this 180 gsm plain-weave linen is garment-washed in soft water without harsh enzymes, so the fibre keeps its strength while the surface softens. The result is the dry, cool hand customers expect from linen at first wear, not after a season.
Because linen is the most requested fabric in hot, humid climates, we grade each lot for evenness and residual shrinkage. Width is a consistent 145 cm with a tight ±2 cm tolerance, which keeps your marker efficiency predictable across repeat orders.
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 20–30 days.
- Roll lengths are 50–120 m; short rolls are declared on the packing list.
- Shrinkage is measured to ≤3% warp, ≤3% weft on the finished fabric. Cutting allowances should still be confirmed on your own wash standard.
Questions
Washed Linen 180 FAQ
Specification and ordering questions specific to this fabric.
Is washed linen pre-shrunk?
Yes. Our washed linen is pre-shrunk to under 3% residual shrinkage in both directions, and each bulk shipment ships with a shrinkage report from the finishing line.
Why is linen a good choice for hot climates?
Linen fibres are hollow and highly moisture-absorbent, so they wick perspiration away and dry quickly while staying cool to the touch. It also drapes with coverage rather than clinging, which suits modest and resort silhouettes.
