Textile and clothing fediverse, give me a tip on who makes good long-sleeved, durable but thin t-shirts in linen or hemp (or mixed with other breathable fibres, no plastic shit).

I'm outside in the field for many hours on my job and I'd like to not have to smear suncream on my arms every time. We need to bring back that old school farmer clothes.

@malte If you can accept buttons and shirt collar/cuffs I think it will be easier to find. Plenty of linen mens’ shirts around.

@malte Sorry for bringing bad news, linen is not a very good UV blocker. It may be a false sense of security.

@SM0RVV @malte I don't think there's anything special about linen that'd make it more or less protective than other materials (?). It's about the density. Wearing something outdoors all day while working, you might wanna compromise a bit there for the sake of airflow....
There's of course a Wikipedia article about this

@SM0RVV I'm not getting it because of any UV blocking abilities. I like it because if the durability and cooling abilities. I rely on having long sleeves of any material to keep the sun away as enough.

Come on fashionista farmers and gardencore wannabes, I know you have some good surprises and gems up your sleeves. Don't tell me to just search for random linen shirts. Who makes the good ones?

@malte yes to the mandarin collar!
So I might actually have more intel. Again looking to the baltics (I think they have traditionally produced lots of linen).
I think its pricey.. But have no idea what your budget is, so here goes.
Also - you might need to run a translater even after setting the language to English -

I get a bit obsessed over linen and wool (depending on season). Just lovely natural materials.
Some of the shirts on that site even have lace-up fronts and are approaching folk costume territory
