I was dead wrong about linen shirts being too wrinkly for daily wear
I always figured linen looked like you slept in a ditch after an hour, but my wife bought me one for my birthday last June. After wearing it on a 90 degree job site installing hardwood in Austin, I stayed cool and the wrinkles actually looked intentional somehow. Has anyone else had a fabric they swore off that turned out to be fine?

That "unlearn what you thought you knew" line really hits with linen. I was the same way until I got a pair of linen drawstring pants for a beach trip. Now I wear them to the grocery store and people probably think I'm some effortlessly stylish guy when really I just gave up on ironing anything. It's like the fabric has this built-in permission to look lazy. The funny thing is, once you accept the wrinkles, you start noticing how much better you breathe in hot weather. I'd take that trade any day.
