Linen is a naturally occurring fabric that is made of a flax plant. Linen fabric is one of the most popular clothing materials in hot and humid regions due to its high breathability and coolness. Linen fabric also has a high moisture absorbing capability even in high temperatures.
In addition, linen fabric is also a very manageable fabric in terms of the sewing process, and It is pretty easy to handle. But linen fabric is also highly susceptible to wrinkles and needs to be ironed more often for the wearer to get a clean and maintained appearance.
Linen is often considered as a substitute for cotton due to its similarity in breathability and comfort. However, linen fabric is relatively expensive due to its time-consuming and arduous manufacturing process. Also, flax plants don't grow in versatile conditions and need specific geographical requirements to grow.
