Thomas Mason Washed Slate Comfort Linen Fabric

$165

A timeless slate blue 100% linen fabric woven in Italy by the renowned Thomas Mason mill. Linen has an airy, open weave that breathes incredibly well, and its naturally cool feel and ability to keep you dry make it a summer essential if there ever was one. Its uniquely slubby texture gives it character and provides visual interest whether it's solid or patterned; this slate blue looks almost like watercolor as a result. And for extra comfort, Thomas Mason weaves this 23s single-ply linen with a special technique that gives the fabric natural stretch without any synthetics. Keep in mind that linen’s wrinkle-prone nature is part of its charm; don't worry about pressing it—just let it look well-worn and relaxed. We love the particularly soft and supple hand of this one. It drapes like a dream and will make an incredible addition to your summer wardrobe whether you dress it up or down.

Recommended Styling: Go with soft details all around. Our Soft President Cutaway collar will give the shirt a carefree yet bold look, while our Soft Franklin Spread will lend it a more subdued casual vibe. Forego the placket for an elevated feel.

“Wonderful colour, although slightly more slate blue than slate grey as I anticipated. Beautiful weave and weight. It creases nicely, but not excessively, as a nice linen should.”

February 2020 · Declan in Ashbourne, County Meath
“Beautiful fabric. Light but substantial. Casual rumple / elevated sheen. Breaks in quickly. Beware: zero shrinkage. You may have to adjust measurements.”

“This fabric has a nice sheen to it, soft, and resists wrinkles better than most linen.”
