Found at Tarkhan
A linen dress was lifted from a grave at Tarkhan, south of Cairo. It is the oldest woven garment ever found. Five thousand years old, and it was linen. We took the name from that, and nothing else.

White and off-white are not the same cloth. Anyone who wears linen knows the difference.
The cloth
Flax is spun long. The fiber is stronger wet than dry, which is why linen outlasts the people who wear it. This cloth is mid-weight. It holds a collar, and it still moves.
- Fiber
- 100% certified European flax. The mill is named on the tag.
- Weight
- 190–210 gsm. Mid-weight — it holds a collar and still moves.
- Weave
- Plain weave, garment-washed after making up.
- Seams
- Single-needle stitching. French and flat-felled seams throughout.
