LAGAN VALLEY LINEN
100% linen, 340gms, Made in Ireland
A modern linen collection with a soft, washed finish and flowing appearance.
If you've been searching for custom linen suits in NYC that don't feel stiff off the rack, Lagan Valley is the cloth to know. Woven in Ireland using time-honored linen production techniques, this 100% Irish linen (340g / 12.5oz) is finished with an innovative twist: after traditional calendaring, the cloth is "dry washed" — tumbled in an air-jet washer, entirely water-free — to remove the sizing. The result is a linen with a beautifully broken-in handle, softer drape, and greater durability than crisp new linen, without a drop of water used in the process. It solves the usual objection to linen suits in New York: you get the lived-in ease of a well-worn favorite from the very first wear. The palette leans warm and modern — caramel brown, avocado green, baby blue — suited to unstructured jackets, summer suits, and trousers alike. This is the same Irish linen tradition long favored by fine English tailors, cut in NYC to your exact measurements.
