Fibre Source

This garment is woven from linen sourced entirely from two family-owned farms in Normandy, France. No artificial irrigation or GMO has been involved with the production of this 100% vegetal fibre. Crop rotation, excellent break crop techniques and natural field retting has been used, as well as low amounts of fertiliser and pesticides. Fibre extraction (scutching) is 100% mechanical and the entire plant has been used (zero waste), including fibre, shive and seed. A verified fibre, the flax used in this fibre is 100% traceable from farm to textile mill.

Construction

M.J. Bale shirts feature all the hallmarks of the great English shirtmaking heritage. The Bradfield Linen Shirt has been constructed with shaped side gussets, four-piece back split yoke, pleated cuffs, a curved long tail, non-fused collar & cuff interlinings and constructed front placket. These details contribute to a superior fitting garment and more durable wear.
