Linen suits carry a certain effortless elegance, a whisper of history woven into every thread. Their story begins millennia ago, with the ancient Egyptians who prized flax - linen’s source - for its breathability and strength, dressing pharaohs and priests in its cool embrace. By the 18th century, linen suits had found their way into European wardrobes, cherished by gentlemen seeking respite from the heat. The British, ever pragmatic, adopted them widely in the 19th century for their colonial outposts, where the fabric’s airy weave proved indispensable in tropical climes. Hollywood’s golden age cemented their status, as icons such as Cary Grant donned them with a rakish charm, turning linen into a symbol of laid-back sophistication.
