We finally have our own linen shirt. Durable, ecological, and pleasant to wear. Nice and cool in the summer but not cold in the winter. To top it off, it looks damn nice and oozes that sexy frontier appeal, even when worn at the office.
You can wear Särmä Linen Shirt casually on top of your pants or in a bit more formal manner tucked in the pants. This isn't a super formal shirt but it is suitable for work if you aren't required to dress as a penguin.
This shirt is made from 100% linen, that lovely traditional material that used to grow everywhere in Finland.
Some of you might wonder why linen. There are many very good reasons for that:
Linen is a breathable natural fiber that feels cool in the summer but not cold in the winter. It also wicks moisture away from the body. In other words, a true smart textile of ancient times.
Linen is a very durable material. After all, it stems from an era prior to consumerism and twenty pointless annual fashion seasons. When you caress this shirt for the first time, you might feel a sting of doubt about how comfortable it could be on your smooth alabaster skin. Don’t worry. Linen will feel softer after each wash and it will become more and more pleasant in time. And it doesn't feel like chain mail or barbed wire even on the first time you wear it.
When you are on the side of the good guys, you are fascinated by the ecological aspects of different materials. Linen grows even in rugged terrain, and it doesn't require irrigation or extensive fertilizing, or pesticides. Linen is also fully biodegradable. It is pretty cool to sell stuff that doesn't poison the whole planet. And it is even cooler to wear it.
The linen fabric comes from Lithuania, and the shirt is also manufactured in Lithuania. Quite a fantastic deal for this price.
