All  gentlements garments in 18th century is lined with silk, but all ladies

Is there any natural explantation of  this?



I don't think that is necessarily true.  I'm sure there are men's  coats and 
waistcoats lined with linen.  
 
However, my two cents' worth--a man's shirt covered him more completely  than 
a woman's shift, I think, so he had a fuller under layer of linen next to  
his skin.
