Our Product Story
Cotton is cool, soft, comfortable and the principal clothing fiber of the world. Its production is one of the major factors in world prosperity and economic stability.
Cotton fiber is harvested from the cotton plant's seed pod. The fiber is hollow in the center and, under a microscope, looks like a twisted ribbon. "Absorbent" cotton will retain 24-27 times its own weight in water and is stronger when wet than dry. This amazing fiber absorbs and releases perspiration quickly, thus allowing the fabric to "breathe."
Spandex is being used in a constantly expanding range of clothing, as designers and consumers discover that a small amount of spandex adds a lot of ease and comfort, as well as resistance to wrinkles, perspiration and body oils. It is often blended with dress and suiting fabrics to create a lighter, crisper fabric that travels well.
