All the breathability of linen in a new fabric that looks sharper and feels softer. (Hence the name.) Also comes in long sleeves.
Meet our brand new summer fabric: Better-Than-Linen. It’s all the good parts of a linen shirt with none of the bad: lightweight and cool for when the weather heats up, but it feels softer, looks cleaner, and won’t get you called a hippie. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)
Our new Better-Than-Linen fabric is light and breathable just like linen, but it’s much softer, hangs better, and is not nearly as wrinkly.
