Some of my checks: Fabric thickness. Weaving patterns like herringbone textures. Wrinkle resistance through weaving when no polyester is in the mix. Coconut wood buttons for a true Hawaii shirt. Proper hems/no distress/frays. Infomative tags with brand/production numbers/material/country of origin. Good cuts. Nice pocket detailing.
Hi! You can always check the label inside the clothing piece. It is usually at the bottom of an item sewn into the side seam. It will break down the fabric composition into percentages. If it says "100% linen" it is linen. Some linen is expensive and others not. It all depends on how it was grown, where it was grown, organic or not, thread count, fabric weight, dying processes, and so forth. :)
