Both fabrics have their strengths, but linen wins when it comes to breathability, durability, and that natural, airy feel. I made the switch gradually, starting with some linen aprons https://thebeanchy.com/collections/linen-aprons from The Beanchy store, and the difference was immediate. They stay fresh longer, absorb better, and dry quicker than cotton. Plus, they don’t wear out as fast—even after tons of washes, they look better with age. Once you try linen, it’s hard to go back to cotton for certain things.
