The fabric of a cotton tea towel looks the same as the fabric in any cotton dress shirt. A terry cloth tea towel wont hurt, but it is the same fabric as a bath towel, hence my warning about fuzz. If your linen suit is a dark color, that fuzz will show up easily.

If you do not have a cotton tea towel, do you have some old cotton shirt that is clean? Just cut a rectangular piece from that and use it. Just make sure it is clean, otherwise, you will press the dirt into your linen suit.

Great, thanks much appreciated
