The History and Evolution of Linen Fabric

The linen from Mason’s is more than just a fabric, it's a stylish choice that speaks of conscious and timeless fashion. The history of linen dates back to 8000 years BC, making it the oldest fabric in the world. The Phoenicians, famous merchants and illustrious navigators, bought linen in Egypt to export it to Ireland, England, and Brittany: thanks to this route, the fiber landed in Europe; from here onwards, linen experienced incredible development.

Mason’s has recognized the quality and importance of linen, adopting it to create garmentsthat meet the needs of comfort, style, and durability. The incorporation of shirts and trousers in linen in the spring-summer 2024 collection of Mason’s represents a celebration of textile tradition with an eye toward modern innovation. By pairing these garments with others from the collection, such as structured jackets or embracing blazers, you can create an ensemble that expresses effortless sophistication.

The shirts and trousers in linen by Mason’s represent an invitation to explore a fashion rooted in tradition but with contemporary resonance. Through the selection of fine fabrics and thoughtful designs, Mason’s continues to offer clothing that reflects individuality and aspiration toward quality for those who wear them.

The magic of linen lies in its ability to blend the ancient with the modern, offering an incredibly elegant and refined canvas on which Mason's designs pieces destined to become favorites in the spring wardrobe.
