The "secret gem" linen series that makes summer comfortable
The comfort of 100% natural linen
MOONCASTLE's summer staple is the 100% cotton "Ice Cotton Knit," but they also offer knitwear made from 100% linen.
Since the opening of our directly managed store, we have received many comments of surprise from customers saying, "I didn't know something like this existed!" and this product is just as popular as Ice Cotton.
This time, we would like to delve deeper into these products so that we can convey their appeal to people who live far away and are unable to visit our direct stores.
Currently, we offer it in three colors.
In Normandy, France
Made from high-quality linen material for a comfortable, cool feeling.
We use only the finest flax from the Normandy region of France.
It has little fuzz and a firm, glossy texture.
Although the linen is a little transparent, it is knitted at 12 gauge.
You can wear this item without any worries.
Linen is highly breathable and has excellent moisture absorption and quick-drying properties, making it perfect for Japan's hot and humid climate.
The details that are unique to linen T-shirts are also great.
The linen knit T-shirt has a different feel from the ice cotton one not only in terms of material but also in terms of details.
The neck rib has a slightly narrow pitch and is just the right width around the neck, so it doesn't look sloppy and is an elegant design. 
The sleeves and hem are not ribbed, but knitted like a T-shirt.
It is more breathable and comfortable to wear.
In addition, this linen knit has a relaxed fit as well as fine details, so it goes very well with bag knitting.
Linen seems difficult to care for.
You can wash it in the washing machine !
(Back: New, Front: After washing)
Linen is a material commonly found in shirts, jackets, pants, etc., and although all of these items can be washed, they tend to shrink and wrinkle, making them difficult to care for. Although this linen knit, like the ice cotton knit, is recommended to be hand washed, it can also be washed in the washing machine.

As for the after-washing process, it is wrinkle-resistant and does not require ironing.
There was some shrinkage in the width and sleeve length, and the length had stretched a little due to the fabric loosening, but the size changes were not noticeable, so it seems like it would be fine to choose the size as usual.
For a slightly relaxed look
The design is similar to that of a casual T-shirt, but the linen material gives it a relaxed, mature look.

This year's popular brown color is also available in linen.
This color is different from the ice cotton brown and is highly recommended.
Here I've paired it with the new cool ice cotton chinos .

Navy is also perfect for a slightly more elegant look.
I think Brightway's leather sneakers will look great!
