Finely woven from European flax with a soft, airy feel. Breathable and elegant, and our most popular shirting linen.
A richer, more substantial hand with a slightly heavier drape, so garments hold their shape. Zero-defect finish.
The heaviest and most structured linen we weave, with a pronounced natural texture. Built for tailoring.
Lea is a linen yarn count. A higher lea number means a finer yarn and a lighter cloth; a lower number means a thicker yarn and a heavier, more structured fabric.
| Fabric | Count | Width | GSM | Handle | Best for |

We supply garment exporters, domestic brands and institutional buyers across India and overseas.
80 and 60 lea for premium shirts that stay light and breathable through a hot day.
60 and 40 lea for dresses, kurtas and resort wear where drape matters.
25 lea at 230 GSM for trousers, jackets and suits that need to hold a line.
Every lea count accepts custom digital printing on a premium natural base.
Linen is a demanding base to print, because the natural texture and fibre absorbency change how ink sits. We print directly onto all four lea counts with digital ink technology.

PRC India, trading as P R Creation Pvt Ltd and part of the GOMTI Group, weaves 100% pure linen fabric at its mill in Surat, Gujarat, supplying garment manufacturers, exporters and brands across India and international markets. Our linen range runs across four lea counts, from a fine 120 GSM shirting to a structured 230 GSM suiting, all woven at 58 inches and available with no minimum order quantity. We supply garment exporters serving European and North American brands, domestic apparel manufacturers and institutional buyers, and we hold ready-stock shades across the range so a repeat order can be matched without waiting on a fresh dye lot. Whether you need a single sample length or full bulk production, the specification and the shade stay the same.
Lea is the traditional yarn count system used for linen, and it is the single most useful number when specifying the cloth. It measures how many 300-yard lengths of yarn make up one pound of fibre, so a higher lea number means a finer, thinner yarn, and a lower lea number means a thicker, heavier one. Our 80 lea linen is the finest and lightest at 120 GSM; our 25 lea is the thickest and heaviest at 230 GSM. Because the relationship is inverse, buyers new to linen frequently assume a higher number means a heavier fabric. It is the opposite, and getting it wrong at the specification stage is an expensive mistake to discover at cutting.
Our 80 lea linen is woven 80 × 80 at a weight of 120 ± 5 GSM in a 57 to 58 inch width. This is the finest linen in the range, with a smooth, lightweight hand-feel that still carries the slightly irregular natural texture linen is valued for. It is light, airy and highly breathable, with an elegant flowing drape that makes it well suited to premium shirting, dresses, kurtas and resort wear. It is currently held in white as a ready-stock shade, with other colours available to order.
60 lea linen at 60 × 60 count, 125 GSM and 58 inch width is the most widely specified weight in our range and sits at ₹704 per metre. Woven from premium European flax yarns, it combines a soft, airy feel with enough body to tailor cleanly. It is the natural choice for summer shirting, dresses and resort collections. With 80+ ready-stock shades it is also the easiest count to colour-match at short notice.
40 lea linen is woven 40 × 40 at 150 GSM, 58 inches wide, priced at ₹634 per metre, with 49+ colours in ready stock. It keeps the softness and natural texture of the finer counts but carries a richer, more substantial hand-feel and a slightly heavier drape, so garments hold their shape and fall well. Every metre goes through quality checks and carries a zero-defect finish. It suits shirts, dresses and casual or occasion wear where a little more body is wanted.
25 lea linen is the heaviest construction we weave, at 25 × 25 count, 230 GSM, 58 inch width, ₹774 per metre, with 41+ ready colours. The thicker yarn produces a rich, pronounced texture and a genuinely structured hand, which is what tailored garments need. It is specified for trousers, jackets, suits and co-ord sets where the cloth has to hold its shape through wear while still breathing like a natural fibre.
Buyers sometimes expect the heaviest linen to be the most expensive per metre. In our range 25 lea is dearest at ₹774 and 40 lea cheapest at ₹634, but 60 lea sits above 40 lea at ₹704 despite being lighter. The reason is spinning: a finer yarn takes more processing, produces more waste and runs slower on the loom. So cost is driven by both yarn fineness and fabric weight, not by weight alone. When comparing quotes across suppliers, compare like-for-like on lea count as well as GSM.
Our linen is woven from premium European flax yarns. Flax grown in the coastal belt of Western Europe benefits from a damp, temperate climate that produces long, fine, consistent fibres, which is why the region remains the global reference for apparel-grade linen. Long fibres spin into stronger, smoother yarn with less hairiness, giving a fabric that pills less, holds colour more evenly and ages into softness rather than wearing out. For a brand selling linen on quality, the fibre origin is a defensible claim worth making.
All four counts are woven at 58 inches, which is a practical width for garment cutting and generally yields better marker efficiency than narrower 42 or 44 inch goods. When comparing per-metre prices between suppliers, calculate usable width rather than headline rate, because a cheaper narrow fabric frequently costs more per finished garment. Sourcing directly from our Surat mill removes the trading layer: you get specifications confirmed against the actual loom, consistent shade matching across repeat orders, and the ability to order from a single sample length upward.
Linen creases. It is the single most common objection raised about the fibre, and it is better addressed than ignored: the cellulose structure of flax has low elastic recovery, so the fabric holds a fold where cotton would spring back. Commercially, this is a positioning decision rather than a defect. A significant part of the market now reads a relaxed linen crease as a mark of authenticity, and premium brands lean into it deliberately. Where a crisper finish is required, specifying a higher lea count helps, as does a cotton-linen blend from our range. On care, linen should be washed on a gentle cycle and dried flat or line dried; it softens with every wash rather than degrading, which is why well-made linen garments improve over years of wear. Garment care labelling matters here, and it is worth agreeing wording at the sampling stage so the end customer knows what to expect.

There is no minimum order quantity. You can order from a single sample length through to full bulk production. Ready-stock shades ship without a dyeing minimum.
Lea measures yarn fineness and works inversely to weight. 80 lea is finest and lightest at 120 GSM, 60 lea is 125 GSM, 40 lea is 150 GSM, and 25 lea is heaviest and most structured at 230 GSM. All are woven 58 inches wide.
60 lea at 125 GSM is the most widely specified shirting weight, with 80 lea at 120 GSM for a finer premium shirt. 40 lea works where a little more body is wanted.
Yes. Our linen is woven from premium European flax yarns, which produce longer, finer and more consistent fibres than most alternatives.
Yes. All four lea counts accept custom digital ink printing, with no screen charges and no limit on colours. We supply a strike-off for approval before bulk production.
Yes. We supply garment exporters and brands internationally from our Surat facility, and can advise on Incoterms, lead times and export documentation at quotation stage.
