The truly all-purpose fabric is this medium-weight brown linen. The color brown can be found used in every social class and the durability of this linen makes constructing any garment a breeze. In 1745 a man named Will took with him "... 2 Pairs of wide Sailors check Trowsers, 3 Pair of brown Linen ditto, 3 Shirts of ditto..."

Beautiful Fabric! It came nice and crispy and after a quick wash and dry it is so soft and smooshy! While this won't be used for historical garments, it will be used for clothing. I'm very pleased! Width before wash - 59" Width after wash and dry - 56"
I have bought this linen quite a few times and I LOVE it. I have hand sewed petticoats, bed gowns, market wallets, aprons and pocket aprons. Top quality.
Samson Historical has been my source for linen for quite awhile now and I don’t plan to go anywhere else. Top quality. Great customer service. Fast shipping. LOVE SAMSON HISTORICAL!
