START WITH THE GARMENT

Choose by application, not by label alone

Linen sourcing starts with the end garment. Pure linen, linen-rich blends and linen-look constructions can differ greatly in drape, crease character, opacity and care requirements.

Dresses & skirts

Balance airflow, opacity and movement for unlined or lined silhouettes.

Shirts & blouses

Compare surface texture, softness and crease character for the intended look.

Relaxed tailoring

Review body, recovery and dimensional stability before bulk cutting.

DEVELOPMENT CHECKLIST

What to verify before bulk ordering

Final suitability depends on the exact article and your garment construction. These checkpoints make quotations and sample approval more reliable.

Composition

Confirm the fibre blend on the selected article; a linen look does not by itself prove linen content.

Weight & opacity

Assess grams per square metre, light transmission and whether lining is required.

Handfeel & shrinkage

Approve a physical swatch and test wash or finishing requirements before bulk.

Colour & lot

Confirm lab dip or approved shade and discuss lot-to-lot tolerance.

SOURCING PROCESS

From reference to approved fabric

1. Share the brief

Send the garment image or tech pack, required properties, colour, quantity and target timing.

2. Compare directions

We shortlist relevant fabric directions and clarify which specifications still require confirmation.

3. Approve a sample

Evaluate colour, handfeel, construction and garment suitability on a physical swatch before bulk.

Availability, MOQ, price and lead time are confirmed for the selected article at the time of inquiry.

BUYER QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Is every linen-look fabric made from linen?

No. Similar visual texture can be achieved with different fibre blends, so composition must be confirmed for the chosen article.

Can you recommend linen fabric from a garment photo?

Yes. Send the reference, target composition, quantity and required handfeel. A physical sample is still required for final approval.

What should buyers confirm before ordering?

Composition, weight, usable width, colour, shrinkage or care requirements, quantity, price and lead time should all be confirmed against the selected article.
