Linen cost a lot because it was used to make armor. Linen armor. Yep. Linen armor. And it was a good one at that. Not perfect but it was sturdy enough. It was composed of many layers of linen and glue. It was harder than leather, more resistant but prone to flea and lices. It was a blend of wool and linen that was the choice for clothing. Yes there were linen clothes, and a lot. But they were backed with wool. That is why sheeps were so well protected.
