Some of the R & R Some of the Reproduction Linen are coffee dyed and they will have "strips of brown and some coffee residue" some areas will have black spots, inks, and the smell of coffee". All hand-dyed fabric will shrink in the dyeing process, so the size of the linen is not exact, plus and minus 1-2 inches in length and width. Please keep that level of size variance in mind with all pieces.
