Why this grade?
This product scored 71/100 based on its composition of 55% Linen, 45% Cotton. Blended from 55% Linen, 45% Cotton — the overall score is a weighted average based on each material's proportion.
B (70-84): Good quality — above average across most metrics.
Good quality
Well-balanced fabric that should serve you well. Follow the care guide to maximize lifespan.
Cotton biodegrades in 1-5 months. When you're done with this, it returns to the earth — not the ocean.
Cotton absorbs moisture but doesn't wick it. Great for a hot day, terrible for hiking — you'll stay wet.
Linen is made from flax, which grows in poor soil with little water. It's been used for clothing for over 30,000 years.
