Leo

Leo, 90% man-made fibres and 10% linen. Width : 150 cm/59". Weight : 205 g/m2.

Linen is a natural fiber, like cotton, but it takes longer to harvest and make into fabric, as flax fibers can be difficult to weave. The fibers are extracted from the plant and stored for long periods of time to soften the fibers. Flax is very breathable, flax linen fibers are hollow so air and water can easily circulate.
Leo is a blend of 90% man-made fibre and 10% linen, guaranteeing the advantages of a man made fibre, but keeping the look of linen in the fabric.

- Man-made fibre is stronger and does not shrink.
- Man-made fibre is more moisture-wicking while linen is more absorbent.
- Man-made fibre dries faster and does not wrinkle as easily as linen. Leo is used for albs, due to its off-white linen look and the easy maintenance.

Washing instructions :
Can be machine washed at 30°C maximum. Wash in warm suds, rinse well. Do not wring, hang wet to dry. No ironing needed.
Do not wring or squeeze the item so as not to stretch it. Rinse and shake out the water and hang it or lay it flat to dry.
Vestments made in Leo can be taken to the dry cleaner, but clearly mention that they are a man-made fibre and linen mix and to require special attention.

Storing vestments:
Keeping vestments clean and dry in storage is the most effective protection. In addition to this make sure that they are 100 percent dirt free before packing. Not only cloths but closets, trunks clean, and dresser drawers should also be clean. Please use a matching garment cover for protection.
