It's been warped by the rain, driven by the snow, it's old and dirty, don't you know, that it's still linen.

Linen is a textile made from the bast fibers of the flax plant. Linen cloth has been produced since ancient times primarily for use in clothing and household items.

Linen cloth is far superior to cotton for clothing but the fiber is much more costly to produce.

As a consequence is hard to find in Walmart or JC Penny.
