Fabric Description

An incredibly fine authentic Irish linen.

This luxurious black linen fabric is woven and finished by Ireland’s premier linen mill, Baird McNutt. With roots dating back to 1798 on the Kellswater River, Baird McNutt uses both traditional and state-of-the-art technologies to produce some of the finest linen in the world. Though it’s historically been used in many different environments for its insulating properties, we’re all familiar with linen’s fantastic lightness and breathability in hotter climates, and this one delivers beyond expectation. Remarkably soft and textured with linen’s characteristic textural irregularity, this rich black linen is a truly special iteration of a timeless classic that you can dress up or down.

Recommended Styling: Give your look an easy, sprezzy feel with our Soft Roma Cutaway collar, no placket, and Soft Long One Button cuff. Our Grey Horn buttons will create a sleek, elevated vibe.

  • Proper Cloth's suggested design changed the buttons relative to other linen fabrics. I saw this going into the purchase and am content with the decision but this slight design change may be overlooked for the cases of people buying multiple shirts with the same size and fabric.
