The linen I have is relatively thick, and I haven't seen it shrink much. Stains, particularly rust, are hard to eliminate, but that is part of a soldierly impression. I usually don't bleach any linen, but I don't exactly know how Romans cleaned their linen, that is, if it was fulled like wool or just rinsed out.<br>
