Any experience with "Luxury Fabric"?

Gentlemen,

In my online search for some linen shirting I came across this site: http://www.luxuryfabric.it/
Does anyone have experience with their fabrics? Me gut feeling tells me that it's rather amateurish (the webshop does look rather unprofessional after all, or is it just me?), but then again, it could be that small artisan, family run business that doesn't care much for branding and advertising.

Any advise would be much appreciated! -Also advise on other places to buy linen shirting - or just quality shirting in general - online :)

Cheers,
Soren

Hello Soren,

I've no direct experience of them myself. For Irish linen I can recommend: http://flaxmill-textiles.com/ slightly clunky website etc. but exactly the small artisanal set-up you're looking for. Also Acorn fabrics offer linen shirting http://www.acornfabrics.com/

Thank you so much for your help! The Flaxmill does indeed seem artisanal, but I couldn't figure out if they do regular shirtings and how to purchase them :? Any experience about the matter?

I've heard much good about Acorn fabrics, and since their website is appears more up-to-date than the Flaxmill (though maybe only slightly) it might even be possible to inquire a price list for their fabrics, who knows :)

Thanks again!
Soren
