- Graphite Essex Yarn Dye Linen - A mix of 55% linen and 45% cotton, this medium weight fabric has a full-body drape that will suit these paper-bag shorts beautifully. The wonder of linen is that the more you wash it, the softer it becomes. Plus, it's eminently breathable and durable. With a light gray hue, homespun with white warp threads for a heathered, this fabric is unique and beautiful and a great addition to your wardrobe!
- Stacked Stones Linen Cotton Blend - How can you not love this fabric? A gorgeous, neutral oatmeal linen is covered with half moon prints, akin to potato fabric stamping. Airy and dreamy, the fabric feels like a fresh summer day. Plus the combination of linen and cotton gives the fabric softness and sturdiness, all the better to make these shorts. A gorgeous fabric!
