Supima

This is made in Vietnam.

Most of the Brooks Brothers shirts are Supima cotton blended, 96%, 4%.

Overall quality rating, I'd give it a 4.5. There's really nothing special about it.

In terms of value, for $128, it's a waste of money.

The association's argument is that North America needs bast fiber processing that can serve both flax and hemp.

Then Buxton Midyette of Supima described how cotton supply chain works.

Every bale of American cotton is graded by USDA for length, strength, and fineness, and tagged with a permanent ID that follows it for life.

Supima licenses every link from the farm to the brand, tests the fiber forensically to confirm where it was grown, and tracks it digitally to the retailer.

The system is paid for by a single fee at the spinning stage.

In three years, the number of licensed brands and manufacturers went from about 550 to more than 1,000.

Interesting.

So it's World, uh, Cotton Day, and, uh, yeah, rightly so, I'm wearing a Supima Cotton T-shirt right now, so.

Thank you.

[laughs]

So you can go from short to long, 10 different colors.

It's the perfect mix of like this Supima cotton with just a touch of spandex.

So it's nice.

It got a little support there.

Pima cotton, named after the Pima people of the American Southwest, who helped cultivate early test crops, is another highly regarded extra-long staple variety.

Supima is a trademark name for pima cotton that has been grown in the United States, a designation that serves as a guarantee of both origin and quality.

Cotton blankets tend to be lighter than their wool counterparts, which makes them popular in warmer climates and during transitional seasons.

one particularly ingenious cotton blanket design is the thermal blanket which features a waffle-like weave that creates a grid of small pockets across the surface of the fabric these pockets trap air which acts as an insulating layer allowing a lightweight cotton blanket to provide more warmth than its thinness would suggest The waffle weave was originally developed for hospital use, where breathability and ease of laundering were paramount, and it has since become one of the most common cotton blanket constructions on the consumer market.

It's getting quite faded, but we'll bring it, we'll break it out again.

Are you going to bring back the Supima cotton polos that we got to wear for the Ill-Fated Life show? I forgot about

that.

That was so, that went so well.

Yeah.

I mean, you're asking me to willingly part with Supima Cotton? I mean, come on.

Have you learned nothing from the lore of this

franchise? I know you still have them.
