100% Linen

Durability, comfort & breathability is top priority for non-european® designers, Louis & Tarien Erasmus who prefer to use only the highest quality, natural fabrics for their menswear collection.

‘We hand-picked this 100% Linen fabric specifically for this shirt. Linen is highly absorbent, offers exceptional breathability and it is famous for its antibacterial properties and durability.’

What is Linen? [read more]

Linen is a Natural, cellulosic fiber made from the stem of the flax plant, one of the oldest plants and oldest textiles in human history.

‘We regard Linen as the best quality fabric because the stiffer yarn with natural slubs produces a unique, rich texture which adds dimension to any outfit. The fabric itself is also more lustrous (brighter & slightly silky) and dyes very well.’

• Linen is highly absorbent and dries quickly wicking moisture away from your skin – offering exceptional breathability.
• Constructed out of hollow fibers, linen acts as a natural insulator – keeping you cool in the summer and warm in winter.
• The strong flax fibers also make it extremely durable and more winter ready.
• Linen softens the more it is used and washed and can last decades when cared for correctly.

How to care for my Linen garment? [read more]

‘Most linen products are machine washable at no more than 20C, and since Linen is quick to dry there’s usually no need to tumble dry. We recommend hanging the product straight from the machine, stretching it back into position and leaving it to dry away from direct sunlight. No need for ironing as creases and wrinkles is part of the character of linen.’

Does Linen shrink?  [read more]

‘Linen tends to shrink. It is a natural fabric – you should expect your Linen garment to shrink a bit after the first wash.’

Why are Linen clothing more expensive? [read more]

‘Linen is expensive because harvesting Linen and turning it into fiber is a much longer and more difficult process than with other fabrics. Unlike other plants, the flax plant cannot be mowed, but must be pulled up by the roots. Furthermore, the inelasticity of the strong flax fiber causes it to break easily in the production process pushing production costs up.’
