Linen is the oldest natural textile in the world. Linen is also one of the world’s healthiest, most long-lasting, and most versatile fabrics–a 100% natural textile used universally. As a bonus, linen is eco-friendly and leaves a lower carbon footprint on the earth than any other textile. Because of linen’s breathable, light-reflective, and static-resistant qualities, Egyptian priests wore linen undergarments, pursuing purity and celestial harmony. Like the Egyptians, Hebrew priests wore linen undergarments, but for the purpose of keeping perspiration away from their bodies.
