- Mustard Essex Yarn Dye Linen - If you're going to do shorts for summer, it's hard to resist the draw of a bright yellow. This fabric, a mix of linen and cotton, has a mottled weave with slubs of white thread. Combined with the golden hue, it reminds us of a bright summer's day. A dry hand and slightly textured feel make this fabric eminently wearable. We love it!
- Charcoal Essex Homespun Linen - This midweight fabric blends the crisp texture of linen with the softness and durability of cotton, an ideal combo for these high waisted shorts. The dark graphite color is elegant and versatile. Plus it will mimic the look of denim without the weight or bulk. A delightful summer fabric!
