They just don’t look very cool and crisp. I can see the weave so I am thinking rough

Yeah, I would not classify them as cool and crisp. My Hotel Collection duvet cover fits that bill, I was surprised it was even cotton after feeling it, I thought it was silk or rayon or something. The Red Land sheets are made of a really soft cotton, but in a 140 thread count so they feel a bit rustic. Nicer than linen in my opinion.

I’ve got some nice percale sheets, but my linen ones feel amazing compared to them. I’d love to try silk, but it’s just too much imo.

Not sure why this picture makes them look rough but I have a set and they are cool and crisp. Like any cotton sheet, they get softer the more they’re washed. I have a set that’s a year old and they’re great.

When I first got my set, they were really stiff, like thick tablecloths. After washing a few times though, now they’re really soft, somewhere between a very light flannel and a soft linen. They’re definitely not like your typical crisp percale though.

I don't think I'd classify them as crisp, but I find them quite cool and I live in a pretty hot muggy climate. No, they're not silky soft, but they're not rough either. These aren't for everyone, but I enjoy the texture and think it's the perfect weight for me. I can't speak for how BIFL they are, I've only had mine a couple of years. So far they have held up beautifully!
