i did a little search, but i didnt find much info here...maybe i was wrong....

but anyway, what's your choice for linen shirts in the summer? I am kinda interested in the shirts made by wjk from previous season, but the prices are not so good. Any brands you know that are of good quality and pricable ( i mean, worth the money)?

Engineered Garments makes some that would probably be cheaper than wjk, at least. Uniqlo has some too. ps that wjk shirt is ******* amazing. EDIT - I just looked at the price, JESUS CHRIST! I was expecting like $250 tops

I saw some from Rag and Bone last week that I really liked. They were just under $200 if I recall correctly and they featured a neat throat latch and antique buttons. I'm still trying to locate a source for them online with my size. Edit: This was it. Now that I see it again I don't think it qualifies as linen, but it did feel close to it.

HM got a whole bunch with Ok linen shirts at the moment. Haven´t bought any yet, but Im eying a short sleeved with large breast pockets, in greysih blue.
The pullover shirts are cool aswell, but they dont have any buttons at all, so you can´t wear them with nothing under if you (read I) dont wanna expose the hairy jungle...

wjk has some great linen shirts but are rather expensive and dark, which makes it somewhat hard to wear. h&m had some but is very low in quality. ralph lauren makes some great linen shirts that are ok for the price. not cheap and also not too over the top, i suggest the custom fit linen shirts for a more refined fit

completely forgot i bought this noah shirt over at nom de guerre a while back. it's really nice and thick but still very linen...

Here's my Noah shirt, it's VERY thick linen, thickest I've seen linen used in a shirt. Very nicely made, and just overall good shirt. glad I held out for a sale at Nom De Guerre, as I was considering this shirt when it wasn't on sale. Very happy with the purchase.

for rolling up your sleeves, it has a strap to attach it via button, but for some reason it doesn't have a button hole.

yeah, that sale was like in jan. 60% off. Looked really nice, i can't justify spending $348 on a shirt, but 60% off that wasn't too bad...

Cool shirts. The Wjk shirt in particular is really nice looking. Definitely too much money though.

I ordered a black linen shirt from Jantzen and it's really nice. Definitely feeling the fabric.
