Wear it unfashionably, like work clothes
I like tough, crisp European linen, often seen in German or French military items. To me, linen clothing has a somewhat "workwear"-like image. When I go to Europe to buy goods, I see people with a classic style who combine a worn-out linen jacket with moleskin pants, and painters who paint while wearing a linen atelier coat.
I think it would be cool if we could wear linen as a tool like they do. Like American denim, linen has long been loved by Europeans as a tough material, and many old pieces still remain. I love the wrinkles and washed-out look that come with age, which are unique to vintage clothing.
A German military jacket from the 1930s-40s. "It's surprisingly hard to find this jacket in larger sizes. I like that it can be worn casually, like work clothes." 
This is an original Bracket piece made from indigo linen from the 1920s. "I used indigo linen, which is like the European version of denim, and finished it with a military pants pattern."
I don't consciously think about it, but I feel like I'm collecting linen items every time I go shopping. Personally, I'd like to enjoy the spring weather in a casual way, like casually throwing on a linen jacket over a T-shirt.
In Japan, linen is often thought of as a material for spring and summer, but in Europe it is worn all year round, and it's great that there are many occasions when it's useful to have one. I'm looking for a linen shirt that's not too sexy and has a rustic look.
