Linen reminds me of niggers on heavy drugs.

When niggers get so insanely high on drugs they will go crazy and eat another man's face, not because they are high, but because they are niggers.

Exact same opinion, except I'd only wear it during the "warm" parts of the year.

There's a fine line between "rugged" and "stuck in a briefcase for two consecutive weeks" wrinkles.

Favorite summertime fabric here. The fucking wrinkles are one of the best parts, you plebs. You gotta embrace all dat artful crinklin and wrinklin.

Hmmm I think I see your point.

It's a summer fabric. It shinks like crazy. Always wash cold and hang dry.

buy nicer linen
currently sitting on something like a dozen yards of linen woven in various colors, waiting for me to draft patterns.

Where in LA do you buy fabric?

Do you just go to like Joannes or s.t??

>>7345192
>joannes
fuck i laughed out loud

>>7345175
shrinkage isn't dissimilar to cotton, but labels really ought to handle that with prewashing anyway.

>>7345192
fashion district. avoid joannes at all costs.

Who has some tips for buying this shit? Is $90 aud too much to pay for shit teir? My choices in my town are limited but I want to avoid buying online without a recommendation

embrace the wrinkles

That was a joke btw

I guess that didn't translate well through text. How can you tell what's good just the feel? I've been there once but never really explored

there's no substitute for experience, but google burn testing and ask for swatches.

>>7345291
Alright I'll check it out. Is it swapmeet tier pricing or more expensive?

And would you be down to go with me sometime we can smoke some weed

michael levine has cool stuff, but it's expensive for the garment district. not as bad as mood tho, and not miles away from everything else. i just copped some crisp double knit for $9/yard, 20% off for some sale.
levine loft across the street is hit and miss but $2.50/lb of fabric is crazy good. every woven ive purchased here has been a nightmare to work with though
zip up for hardware, just copped three very nice ykks and a new cone of black for like $11. they have riris too if you're one of those ppl who nerd out about em. also talon. v nice.

yea bb hmu ill wear a skort and we can take double waywts xoxo

actually that's not true, i have a black stretch gabardine that's very chill. but i had this sort of linenesque twill and a poly crepe that were both fucking nightmares. the former magically healed drill holes, but notches would grow and unfused pieces would grow and it was generally demon spawn of satan's infernal buttcunt, and the crepe was just impossible to press.
