Why Linen Shirts for Men Just Got Better: The Fabric Behind NØLSON’s New LINDO Collection

If you're searching for the perfect linen shirts for men, you already know that not all fabrics are created equal. At NØLSON, we've spent the past year refining what, we believe, is the ideal balance between comfort, breathability, and style—and it all comes down to fabric. Meet the Lind Collection: a new generation of linen shirts made from a premium blend of 55% linen and 45% cotton.

The problem with Pure Linen (and Why Blending Works Better)

Linen is known and loved for its lightness and breathability—perfect for warm-weather days. But anyone who has worn a 100% linen shirt knows it can come with a few drawbacks: excessive wrinkling, stiffness, and sometimes a scratchy feel. That’s where cotton steps in.

Cotton adds softness, smoothness, and structure to the relaxed nature of linen. It helps the shirt retain its shape while still allowing it to breathe, move, and feel airy against the skin. With our Lindo fabric blend, you get the best of both worlds.

The Lindo Fabric: Thoughtfully Rebalanced

The previous Sundre Collection, loved by many of our customers, featured a 65% cotton / 35% linen blend. With Lindo, we've reversed the ratio. Our new 55% linen / 45% cotton mix enhances the lightness and natural texture of linen, while keeping the smooth finish and durability cotton provides. The result? A shirt that feels fresher, wears softer, and drapes more naturally.

This isn’t just a small tweak—it’s a deliberate move to elevate your summer wardrobe with linen shirts for men that are more wearable, more stylish, and more comfortable than ever before.

Designed for the Season (and the Scandinavian Lifestyle)

True to our Scandinavian roots, the Lindo fabric reflects a love for simplicity, function, and timeless aesthetics. The new fabric blend allows each shirt to move with you, stay breathable throughout the day, and pair seamlessly with everything from chinos to tailored shorts.

Whether you’re dressing for a rooftop gathering, a summer wedding, or just a casual walk through the city—linen shirts for men in the Lindo fabric are built to handle it all.

Why You'll Feel the Difference

  • Breathability: The higher linen content makes these shirts ideal for warm and humid conditions.

  • Softness: The cotton softens the overall texture, making it smooth enough for all-day wear.

  • Durability: Cotton improves resilience, so your shirt keeps its shape wash after wash.

  • Style: The natural wrinkles of linen are softened, creating a more polished look with less maintenance.

One Fabric, Five Timeless Colours

The Lindo Collection is now available in five versatile shades—light blue, white, navy, forest green, and beige. These colours were chosen to complement the fabric's soft drape and natural texture, offering endless styling options.

Final Thoughts: The Future of Linen Shirts for Men

At NØLSON, we’re not just making clothes—we’re redefining essentials. The Lindo fabric is the future of linen shirts for men: lightweight, breathable, versatile, and thoughtfully made for modern life.
