For centuries, linen was the go-to fabric for warmer weather and comfy undergarments. Linen textiles can literally be traced back thousands of years across the globe, especially in North Africa and the Middle East. Even the bandages on ancient Egyptian mummies were made from linen! In fact, flax, from which linen is traditionally derived, was the first textile humans ever produced. Linen's place in human history is nothing short of profound! Only with the advent of cotton gins did cotton really take off and supplant linen as the fabric of choice for lighter, more free-flowing garments. Yet linen has kept its rightful place in men's fashion, primarily for summer suits, blazers and casual shirts. No fabric is breezier or easier to wear in hot weather than linen, which is why it remains so popular in the tropics and other warm climates. A linen tie evokes that summery sense of ease that so many of us look forward to every year. Wear it with panache, in any hue or pattern you desire.
