Egyptian Cotton - The long staple or long fiber of Egyptian-grown cotton means that there is more continuous fiber to use when creating threads or yarns. This yarn is smaller in diameter yet stronger than other cottons. Smaller yarn means that more threads per square inch can be use to create stronger fabric which is light in weight yet breathes well. More threads per inch mean that the thread count will be higher. Many buyers think that choosing high thread count cotton is the only gauge of quality. This is not true, but in the case of cotton grown in Egypt, the higher thread count means the fabric will be incredibly strong and will last for years and years. Egyptian Cotton is most famous for its ability to keep its colour and shape even after years of washing and ironing. If cared for properly, The Egyptian cotton fabric used for our cotton shirts can last for decades.
