Lithuanian linen: one of the oldest textile fabrics in the world, linen is made from fibers of the flax plant. linen fibers are much stronger and more lustrous than cotton, and linen fabric is cool and absorbent. production of linen is highly ecological, and uses five to twenty times less water and energy than the production of cotton or synthetic fabrics. the production of linen was encouraged by charlemagne, and linen became the principal european textile of the middle ages. although ireland has long been the largest producer of fine linen, lithuanian linen is renowned for its exceptional quality.
I agree. Linen is a pain to clean and maintain. I owned a pair of linen pants once and stopped wearing them because it wasn't worth the effort.

you need to do what Kramer did on that one Seinfeld episode.
Whenever he sat down (or when he was playing pool) he would put his pants on a hanger and just be in his boxers. He got the idea from The Conductor. That way your pants will never crease or wrinkle.
That's the episode where George's dad turned a small bedroom into a game room and he put a full length pool table in there. Kramer had problems using a regulation pool stick and started using The Conductor's wand and he cleaned the table. Classic.

Linen clothing is a pain, however, you will never sleep on a more fabulous fabric. Wash a couple of times, dry in dryer and immediately make the bed.
It is much more comfprtable than the finest cotton. Try it! You'll never use anything else!
