THE MANY BENEFITS OF LINEN
- Refreshing
- Dries quickly
- Anti-allergenic
- Sustainable
- Easy to clean
- Biodegradable
REFRESHING
This first point is not necessarily original, but it is indeed the number one characteristic of linen.
The open structure of linen offers unparalleled breathability that keeps your body feeling fresh regardless of humidity or heat.
Its high air permeability allows air to circulate freely, refreshing you without you even realizing it.
This feature makes it an essential element of your wardrobe for summer and its intense heat.
DRIES QUICKLY
Linen will always remain dry to the touch even in the most humid situations.
This fiber is known for its water absorption capacity. This property is due to the highly hydrophilic nature of pectins, compounds that bind fibers together.
These pectins found in linen clothing give them a "living" character; they absorb or release water and are capable of absorbing up to 20% of their weight in moisture without causing a damp feeling to the touch, allowing them to retain this dry and pleasant appearance during periods of high heat.
ANTI-ALLERGENIC
This material will adapt to all skin types thanks to its naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial properties which provide the person using it with a soothing sensation, already noted for thousands of years in people with skin prone to irritation of all types.
SUSTAINABLE
Its stretched and airy appearance might make you suspect the worst about its durability?
This is not the case, linen is the most resistant natural fiber there is.
It is not for nothing that the latter has been used for so many years in clothing and fabrics of all kinds.
Length is a good indicator of a fiber's strength. Length is an internal component of bast fibers (the fibers found in the plant's stem). These fibers make linen textiles supple and strong, preventing fluffing or warping.
With modern technical developments and the constant search for environmentally friendly products made from natural, high-performance materials, there are associations with linen that make up alternatives to fiberglass in order to design sports equipment such as bicycles, tennis rackets and even ski equipment.
CLEAN EASILY
Linen, like cashmere, is one of the rare materials that softens with time and washing.
Can your basic cotton T-shirt still hold up after about twenty washes?
This fiber still requires special maintenance (everything delicate needs it, right?).
In our case, we recommend washing at a low temperature and spinning at less than 700 rpm.
NATURAL, BIODEGRADABLE AND RENEWABLE
Today, the vast majority of flax production (80%) comes from European agriculture (France, Belgium, the Netherlands).
All Seagale linen products are made with 100% French flax grown in Normandy. Produced through a natural process, flax boasts a unique and highly desirable ecological profile: zero irrigation, zero GMOs, and zero waste. Nothing is lost in flax, whether through its seeds or its fibers; flax can be eaten, worn, and even used as insulation.
When you buy a linen shirt instead of a cotton one, you save the equivalent of 13 1.5L bottles. Enough to meet a man's water needs for two weeks!
