We could be talking about a myriad of things but with hot weather breathing down our necks, we’re talking about linen, of course.

But the most potent weapon in their summer armory is a fabric Brits have donned since the dark ages. Linen offers the sun-drenched man all manner of benefits. It’s riddled with tiny holes, which means air circulates freely, so you keep your cool while all around you are losing theirs.
