It's good people. The 100% linen shirts I got were a bit rough at first, but are now nice and soft. I don't typically iron, but linen wrinkles so much that I did, and damn, what a beautiful material once it's ironed.

The raw linen color is also very nice.

I love linen pants in the summer, and picked up a fun indigo dyed pair this year.

Have you tried a steamer?

I have linen/cotton pants. Need to find a pair of nice 100% linen ones.

picked up a fun indigo dyed pair this year.

That sounds v cool

I don't have a steamer so idk how well it works. The iron makes it crisp though, and it folds and drapes beautifully after. Idk if a steamer would have the same result

Yeah, I need to wear em more to start getting some cool indigo fades (and soften the linen). It's hard not to go to shorts with temps in the high 90s though, lol.

The steamer will work out light wrinkles - not quite the crisp ironing effect, but nice for people too lazy to drag the ironing board out
