Irish linen is the name of a textile fabric woven or knitted in Ireland. It is an Irish brand name that infers quality, and confidence. Linen is simply the same thing made elsewhere that cannot carry the brand name, it might well be of equivalent quality, but does not carry the confidence or cachet of the famous Irish linen brand.

bleach is 'la javel' (fem.) or ' l'eau de javel ' in French. The fabric or linen that do not accept bleach are market on their label with a symbol 'do not bleach', that the French read as 'ne pas javelliser' (verb) or 'pas de javel'. So unbleached linen would be 'du linge qui n'a pas été javellisé', but that's a bit clumsy as a sentence.
it was linen
most clothing was not dyed and left unbleached so it was a cream or dirty white colour. If you were prosperous enough your clothing was bleached white. Dyeing linen was difficult so coloured clothes were expensive and rare.
