Soma | Men's Linen Jacket

Behind The Design

The Soma Jacket is deeply rooted in the profound spiritual heritage of India, rendered in a deep saffron-orange shade that traditionally symbolizes renunciation and purity. By adopting this significant color, the jacket offers a grounded, culturally rich narrative for mindful travels or temple visits. Tailored with a relaxed silhouette, our design focuses on effortless comfort and year-round wearability. The intentional choice of an unlined construction maximizes the inherent breathability of the flax fibers, ensuring optimal airflow and a lightweight feel that only improves with age. This jacket effortlessly bridges the gap between traditional significance and modern functionality, making it a versatile essential for the contemporary wardrobe.

The Material Difference

Linen vs. Polyester

Life-cycle assessment · per kg of finished fiber · cradle-to-gate (raw material extraction through primary fiber processing)

Linen Polyester
Water 214 L 62–200 L
Energy 8–10 MJ 108–217 MJ
CO2 Data varies 2.0–27.2 kg
Source Renewable Fossil fuel
Fertilizer & pesticides Low None (industrial synthesis instead)
Microplastics None High
End of life Biodegradable Non-biodegradable

Better Moderate Higher impact

The trade-off: Linen is dramatically more energy-efficient than polyester and sheds no microplastics, but the retting process (breaking down flax stalks to release fiber) can use more water than polyester's synthesis. Linen's overall footprint remains far smaller thanks to its renewable, biodegradable nature.

Why the ranges vary: Published CO2 figures for linen vary widely depending on retting method (dew retting vs. water retting) and regional farming practices, so we show it as "data varies" rather than a specific range.

Methodology & data notes
  • Water: Linen's figure reflects retting — dew retting uses natural rainfall, while water retting submerges stalks and uses more. Polyester's water use is mostly for equipment cooling during chemical synthesis.
  • Energy: Linen processing is largely mechanical (scutching, hackling) with minimal energy input. Polyester relies on energy-intensive petroleum cracking and polymerization.
  • CO2: Published figures for linen vary significantly by region and retting method, so no single range is shown. Polyester's emissions vary with the energy grid — coal vs. renewables — used in manufacturing.
  • Source: Linen comes from the flax plant, an annual crop that needs minimal irrigation and few pesticides. Polyester is derived entirely from petroleum and natural gas extraction.
  • Fertilizer & pesticides: Flax is a low-input crop, typically needing far fewer pesticides than cotton and only moderate fertilizer. Polyester uses no agricultural chemicals, but its production relies on petrochemical catalysts and industrial processing chemicals instead.
  • Microplastics: Polyester sheds synthetic microfibers during washing, which accumulate in marine ecosystems. Linen is a natural cellulosic fiber and does not shed plastic.
  • End of life: Untreated linen naturally decomposes and can be composted. Polyester can persist in landfills for centuries, though it can be mechanically recycled.
