Composition

72% Linen, 28% Cotton

Good quality, eco-friendly

Solid fabric with strong environmental credentials. Linen (72%) is doing the heavy lifting. This is a smart buy.

🌱

Cotton biodegrades in 1-5 months. When you're done with this, it returns to the earth — not the ocean.

💧

Cotton absorbs moisture but doesn't wick it. Great for a hot day, terrible for hiking — you'll stay wet.

🏛️

Linen is made from flax, which grows in poor soil with little water. It's been used for clothing for over 30,000 years.
