However you style it, a classic linen jacket or coat is a piece you’ll wear year after year, exuding both style and conscious taste.

Unique and timeless design

When you buy a linen jacket or coat from K&US, you know you are acquiring a unique garment. All our clothes are designed by our two designers at our studio in Södermalm and then sewn on a small scale by our skilled seamstresses in Lithuania. Over the years, we have offered a variety of linen jacket styles—ranging from long and short to fitted, collarless, and straight-cut designs. The color palette is usually based on black, natural tones, off-white, and ink blue, though other beautiful colors make an appearance from time to time.

What are the benefits of a linen jacket?

Spring and summer are the peak seasons for both linen jackets and coats; as temperatures rise, we want to wear something cool and comfortable. Linen is particularly well-suited for clothing because it absorbs moisture, allows the skin to breathe, and possesses antibacterial properties that prevent unpleasant odors.

How do I care for my linen jacket?

Like many other natural materials, linen garments benefit from being aired out rather than washed too frequently. This helps preserve both the garment and the environment. Most of our linen jackets are machine washable at 40°C, though some Italian linen fabrics require washing at 30°C; check the care label inside the garment to be sure. Always wash your linen jacket with similar colors and turn it inside out to protect delicate buttons. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softener, as it harms the environment and the fabric fibers, while also reducing the linen's moisture-absorbing properties. You can gently stretch and shape your linen jacket while it is damp and let it drip-dry.
