Linen is Better.
Natural Common Sense
Linen is a natural resource that is refined from the cellulose fibers that grow inside the stalks of the flax plant.
The flax plants are harvested by being pulled from the ground. They are left in the field to soften and start breaking down. The fiber is collected from the plants and stored sheltered for a few months to continue the softening process.
The fibers go through a combing process which removes excess impurities and broken fibers. The long fibers are twisted slightly and then spun to achieve a smoother, softer yarn.
Prior to any weaving the yarns are examined for strength, evenness and color. Once certified, they are integrated into the weaving process.
Linen is extremely durable due to the thickness and strength of the fibers. This allows it to withstand a lot more than other common textiles.
The weave of the linen fiber allows more airflow and the fiber structure allows it to wick away moisture from your skin allowing better airflow all over.
