Behind the Seams: How Our Linen Shirts Are Made

Every linen shirt we make passes through 14 sets of hands before it reaches yours. Here's the journey, from flax field to your closet.

Step 1: The Flax

Our flax is grown in northern France, where the climate produces the strongest, finest fibers in the world. It's rain-fed, with no irrigation.

Step 2: Retting and Spinning

After harvest, the flax is left in the fields to ret naturally, then spun into yarn at a family-run mill in Belgium.

Step 3: Weaving

The yarn is woven into our signature mid-weight linen at a small workshop in Lithuania. Each bolt is inspected by hand.

Step 4: Cutting and Sewing

Our shirts are cut and sewn in a fair-wage facility in Portugal, where our patternmakers have worked with us for over a decade.

Step 5: Quality Check

Every shirt is inspected three times before it ships.
