You’re planning an island wedding and you want a pure linen suit. I like linen. I’ll also tell you exactly how it behaves.
Pure linen creases the moment you sit down. By the time the ceremony photos are taken, it looks slept in.
I’d suggest a linen and wool blend instead. It breathes like linen and keeps its shape through a warm, humid breeze.
You still get the linen look. You just don’t spend your wedding day pressing it out.
