Linen Ramie Big Shorts
Two kinds of bast fibre, linen (flax) and ramie, are spun domestically into a blended yarn used for both warp and weft, giving the cloth crispness and a moderate weight. Blending with ramie also eases the slackness characteristic of linen. With repeated wear it takes on the feel of well-used vintage cloth. For more on the differences between linen, ramie and hemp, please see this article by Boken.
These are voluminous, knee-length shorts with two deep tucks at the front. The fabric has real weight, so belt loops are included to support it, but with an elastic waist and an inner organic-cotton drawstring they can also be worn without a belt. Large patch pockets at the back add storage, and the wide topstitching gives them a different character from our other linen-ramie pieces.
