5 benefits of wearing linen: Why you'll love this natural fibre!
In today's fast-paced fashion world, it's easy to get caught up in the latest trends and forget about the impact our clothing choices have on the planet.
Linen is a natural fibre which has been around for thousands of years. Linen scraps dating back around 30,000 years have been discovered in the Caucasus region, indicating that ancient civilisations were utilising flax fibres to create clothing, tools and textiles.
Linen played a sacred role in the elaborate mummification process of the ancient Egyptians. Each mummy needed hundreds of yards of linen. Priests meticulously wrapped the body in long strips of linen, often individually wrapping each finger and toe before encasing the entire hand or foot.
At Stewart’s Menswear in Mullumbimby, we're passionate about sourcing quality clothing including eco-friendly options. Although clothing made from a natural fibre like linen is a little more expensive, it is high quality and timeless which reduces the need for frequent purchases.
As we get older, we become more conscious of our fashion choices. We’re tired of fast fashion’s waste and appreciate the value of timeless pieces, comfort, and sustainability. That's why we're drawn to clothing made from natural fibres like linen.
But what makes linen so special?
The 5 Benefits of Linen Clothing
- Breathability and Temperature Regulation
Linen is known for its exceptional breathability, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Its natural temperature regulation properties make it perfect for layering.
- Natural Cooling and Moisture-Wicking Properties
Linen's unique ability to absorb moisture and dry quickly makes it ideal for active wear.
- Hypoallergenic and Gentle on Skin
Linen's hypoallergenic properties soothe sensitive skin, eliminating irritation. Enjoy comfortable clothing that feels gentle against your skin.
- Durability and Long Lifespan
Linen is incredibly durable, resisting wear and tear with ease. With proper care, linen clothing can last for years, reducing waste and saving you money.
- Sustainability and Eco-Friendliness
Linen is made from the flax plant, which requires less water and pesticides than many other crops. It's biodegradable, compostable, and supports sustainable fashion.
