    What even is that linen? I don't know that it is actually flax linen. I got my son one of those. I took the linen and washed it because it seemed like it had a coating on it or something but it never really got stiff like you'd expect from flax when wet and it didn't soften much.

    The leather is good though.

    My English Bridal strop came with a course fabric, it made a zip zip noise and I didn't like it.

    I changed it for a nice soft cotton and I love it now.
