It’s good people. The 100% linen shirts I got were a bit rough at first, but are now nice and soft. I don’t typically iron, but linen wrinkles so much that I did, and damn, what a beautiful material once it’s ironed.

The raw linen color is also very nice.

      I have linen/cotton pants. Need to find a pair of nice 100% linen ones.

      picked up a fun indigo dyed pair this year.

      That sounds v cool

      I don’t have a steamer so idk how well it works. The iron makes it crisp though, and it folds and drapes beautifully after. Idk if a steamer would have the same result

        Yeah, I need to wear em more to start getting some cool indigo fades (and soften the linen). It’s hard not to go to shorts with temps in the high 90s though, lol.

        The steamer will work out light wrinkles - not quite the crisp ironing effect, but nice for people too lazy to drag the ironing board out

    Linen is my go-to summer shirt. Everything else feels like a hothouse within minutes.

    Mine look like bedraggled teenage me without an iron thonk-cri

      Linen is my go-to summer shirt.

      It’s really been a help. It’s cool and wicks moisture, and the long sleeves of my shirts keep the sun off of me but dont end up too hot either

      Yeah I’m not really a fan of how linen looks without ironing. My cotton shirts are fine without, but it makes the linen so nicely smooth
