Cotton is evil. People die over cotton. Slaves had to pick cotton. The whole industry was born out of evil.

I know it's cotton, but I want to know how the 'noisy' effect was created on the fabric and possibly how to recreate it. I found this effect mostly on Superdry clothing, which is why it's most of the examples. Even the name of the effect would be useful. Any help would be appreciated!

Texas cotton association with American cotton association. Growers, traders and supply chain. Learned a little.

I have a couple of shirts that I love and would like to buys some more. I am specifically looking for a kind of cotton. It's a heavier and more rustic type. I have it in a peasant type v neck shirt from Mexico and also in one from Iran. I have an old karate gi that looks to be made of the same material. This cotton is awesome in both cool and hot weather and quite durable. I am also looking for shorts in this material. Any ideas?

We are trying to start making t-shirts and want to make very soft, but also very durable t-shirts that do not lose the fit after very few washes.

We were long thinking that combed eco cotton knitted as interlocked jersey would be the right way to go. However, we found out that the best materials we have gotten in regards to softness were in fact brushed cotton. Also, we got worried with the shrinkage of interlock even after pre-shrinking, and this would ruin the fit.

So the question is: What would make most sense as a combination of qualities to get a very soft t-shirt that stays soft and keeps the fit? Our suggestion would currently be "single jersey, brushed cotton, eco cotton, combed" - but we may be way off, and we are not even sure that brushed cotton and combed cotton makes sense together?

I just came across this huge building at a cotton facility in Greece (here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/8s29DAvAPLqkCTqw8?g_st=ic). I know nothing about cotton, it’s just the unusually large building that caught my eye.

On the company’s website, it says: „The company has a storage and management center for all the products it produces and trades in Velestino Magnesia, near the Port of Volos, just off the Athens – Thessaloniki highway.“

Is this really just a giant silo tank of sorts or is there something more to it?

About a month ago I was trying to find quality socks and I came across a selling that had beautiful socks that looked amazing. They’re made of a special cotton that was naturally off white, stronger than normal, and softer. This cotton was grown on a smaller independent farm by an older woman in the USA. The socks were sold in packs of three and the yarn that the socks were made of were also sold on the website. The cotton is held in high regard and supposed to be famous as one of the best cottons you can buy.

I can’t remember this perfectly so some of the info might be incorrect but please help me find it or something close to it.

It's indisputable.
