Summer Fabric Guide

At Tailor Vintage, we strive to provide our customers with items that are not only functional but easy and comfortable to wear. We attribute our fine tailoring and fabrics as the reason that so many return to our classic styles season after season. In addition, many of our garments are hand washed and go through several processing stages to give them a unique worn-in feel and vintage look that our customers have come to love.

Many of our fabrics have these unique qualities:

FUNCTIONAL
Water Repellent/ Stain Resistant
Moisture Wicking
Anti-viral/ Anti-bacterial
Odor Control

COMFORTABLE
Breathable Natural Fibers
Added Stretch
Light Weight
Updated Classic Fit

Below we walk you through some of our fabrics that are perfect for hot summer days - versatile for work or leisure and everything in between.

Linen

Linen is woven from the flax plant which has been prized since the days of the pharaohs. Linen’s coolness in hot weather makes it superior to synthetic fabrics, like polyester, when it comes to breathability. Linen is durable and very strong, as well as super comfortable and light to wear. Added bonus? It is also environmentally friendly.

We select the finest linen for our products, spun and woven with the greatest care and expertise to bring out its natural beauty.

Linen is a perfect Summer because it can elevate any outfit while remaining easy and comfortable to wear. Learn more about how to wear Linen in our Complete Guide to Wearing Summer Linen.
