Chocolate Brown Linen, WLG 135

100% Linen, 7.5 oz, 60″ Wide

Unbleached linen in the 18th century was usually referred to as brown although some may argue it is dyed. This 7 oz. linen has more body and is good for outer garments such as men’s trousers, coats and waistcoats. For example in The Virginia Gazette in 1773, “a Cooper, born in Ireland carried with him, a brown Linen Coat, Jacket and Trousers”. Brown 50/3 linen thread will blend with the color of this linen.
