This chocolate brown 250g linen-cotton blend is a medium‑weight plain‑weave fabric with a natural drape and a slightly softer hand than pure linen, making it ideal for historical reenactment garments that require authenticity, durability, and comfort.

The 90% linen content preserves the traditional look and feel, while the 10% cotton adds a touch of smoothness and flexibility, making the fabric easier to work with and pleasant to wear. Its structure makes it perfectly suited for tunics, overdresses, underdresses, trousers, and other garments that benefit from a medium‑heavy fabric without becoming stiff or bulky. The blend offers excellent breathability and strength, making it a reliable choice for both warm‑weather and layered historical clothing.

Beyond clothing, this fabric is also highly versatile for practical items such as bags, cushion covers, and simple bedding or long linen covers that can be filled with straw to create a sleeping bed.

It also works beautifully for everyday garments, offering durability, comfort, and a deep, earthy colour that fits seamlessly into both historical and modern wardrobes.

For a lighter and more breathable alternative — whether for underlayers or anything else you wish to create — take a look at our 165 g linen.
