Hard to come by and of the finest quality, Egyptian cotton is a variety of Sea Island cotton complete with strong, silky fibers often sought after for quality sheets and bedding. Egyptian cotton is the finest, longest-staple of all compared to other quality cottons such as pima or supima cotton. Egyptian cotton produces an extremely soft and supple weave paired with a light sheen to draw the eye. This cotton woven is not only suitable for sheets, but high-end shirting applications for the fashion sportswear market as well.
