Seen a wicked jumper by Giuliano Fujiwara but it's listed as being 90% Linen, 10% Nickel - will that not be a little scratchy?

It looks great, but I know nothing about the effects of metallic fibres in clothes - will it lose its shape easily or hold it more/ have a longer life/ feel uncomfortable to wear etc?

No idea about the linen/metal blend, but I have tried on a jacket that had a bit o' metal in it. And the metal content was so insubstantial that it only contributed to the visual texture, not the comfort. Usually it lends jackets a wrinkled texture and shouldn't affect the durability, etc. Go for it! It's fashion!
