Linen

At R2 Amsterdam, we understand that shopping online can be challenging. It is difficult to imagine what certain fabrics will feel like and how they wear. Here, you will find information about the materials, techniques, finishes, manufacturers and sustainability R2 Amsterdam uses, to help you on your way.

Linen is a beautiful, natural product that is not only strong, hardwearing and durable, but also ventilates extremely well and feels airy on the skin. The fabric absorbs moisture in no time and dries quickly too. Moreover, it does not pill or create fluff, it is hypo-allergenic and anti-static.
Our linen shirts have been finished with a soft wash treatment: a form of prewashing that further softens the fabric. And did you know that frequent wearing and washing only makes linen more flexible and soft? Make sure to air dry your linen items on a hanger after washing. That way, the fabric does not wrinkle too much. And the few wrinkles that still remain when your shirt is dry… they are part of the typical charm of linen!
