At present, cotton is divided into coarse cotton, long staple cotton (also called island cotton), upland cotton, etc. Good high count cotton fabrics must be made of long staple cotton. Among the long staple cotton, Egyptian Cotton and American Pima Cotton have the best internal quality.
The fiber diameter of Egyptian long staple cotton is 25% smaller than that of silk. After being woven into yarn, there is almost no cotton neps. The fiber strength is high, the fiber is neat and uniform, and has a special mercerization effect. Therefore, the fabric woven from Egyptian long staple cotton has a very delicate feel, a luster and quality like silk. The ready-made clothes will remain bright after repeated washing. Moreover, Egyptian long staple cotton is picked by hand, natural and pollution-free, and the price is naturally the most expensive in the world.
Let's talk about American Pima cotton, which is the general name of the best extra long staple cotton (ELS), named after the tradition of planting and picking cotton by hand of Pima Indians in the southwest of the United States. Pima cotton is very tenacious, 45% stronger than ordinary cotton. It has strong dyeing and finishing ability, bright and bright fabric color, natural soft texture, smooth and draping feel, and its output only accounts for 3% of the world's cotton. It can be called the best cotton.
At present, the international first tier brands all use the above two kinds of extremely precious cotton as raw materials.
