Frequently asked questions
What fabric is REFAA made from?
Natural linen-look cotton — breathable and chosen to stay cool in the heat. It has the relaxed look of linen but it's real cotton, never the fake polyester "linen" sold around it.
Can I wear REFAA pieces on their own?
They're designed to be worn on their own. Off-white and butter yellow are fully lined — body and sleeves — in the same natural cotton.
Burgundy is deliberately a single breathable layer, made for evenings, indoors, and Egyptian heat. In everyday light it's opaque — we tested it and nothing showed. Direct harsh sunlight is where one layer meets its limit: you may catch a silhouette, and something high-contrast worn close underneath can read through.
Why does my piece arrive slightly roomy?
On purpose. Natural cotton shrinks on its first wash, so we cut every REFAA piece about 4% larger than its true size. Wash it before you wear it — cold, gentle, hang dry in shade — and it settles to the exact measurements in the Size Guide. Skip that first wash and it will always feel a little loose.
How does sizing work?
We run S, M, L, built and fit-tested for the Egyptian body. The tie and pull-on waists give each size a forgiving range — see the Size Guide.
