As far as I can remember, I have always hated the summer season as a kid. I have always preferred to stay in my house than go out and play in the ground with my friends. Somehow, I could never cope with the feeling of uneasiness of sweat-soaked shirts sticking to my body. However, the unease and discomfort got disappeared instantly a couple of years back when I first got my hands on linen shirts.

Within a month after the first linen store was opened in my city, I was there to check the new arrivals about which I did not have much idea. I was amazed to see the breathtaking collection in the store. The thing which enthralled me the most about the linen shirts in the store is the quality of the fabric. I had never touched a fabric before which was more soft and lighter in weight than the linen shirts. With summer approaching, there was no way I was going to let this chance get away from me to wear something so much comfortable. However as I started wearing them, I soon realized that there is a lot more to them than meets the eye.

Other than their great comfort level, use of superior-quality fabric, and lightweight nature, here are some other things I have discovered about my linen shirts which have made me love them even more:

• Extremely Attractive: Linen shirts are available in a variety of colors, patterns and sizes. The best thing about these shirts is that they look extremely elegant without compromising on the style factor.

• Moisture Absorbing Capacity: They are not only light in weight, and also have a great moisture absorbing capacity. This means that are effective in soaking up the sweat, thus allowing me to have a cool and dry experience in the perspiring summers.

• Effective in winter: Not only in the summer seasons, these shirts are equally effective in the winters. The fabric has a great insulating property and this has helped to keep me warm during the chilly weather conditions.

• High Durable Nature: Linen fabric is itself very strong and has a high durability. Linen also has a high resistance power against dirt, stains, bacteria and insect attacks. The shirts are also lint-free, thus making it more preferable for wear and tear.

• Easy to Clean: Resistant to dirt and stains, linen shirts are easy to clean. It is also easy to dry them. The best part about these shirts is that they turn softer and more lustrous with each washing.

• Resistant to Rotting & Injuries: Silica present in the fibers of the flax plants used to create the shirts makes them highly resistant to rotting. Moreover, the natural strength of the fibers also makes the shirts extremely strong against cuts, bruises and scratches.

• Friendly to the Skin: I have also found out that linen shirts are extremely friendly to the skin. They do not cause any kind of irritation or some other skin problems. Moreover, it helps in tackling feverishness.

It is, therefore, not a surprise that I no longer wear a shirt which is not made up of linen fiber. Not only me, I’m sure that whoever understood their true worth found them blissfully addicted to these linen shirts.
