You know a lot about cotton; want to chat? :)
- malandrew 14y agoI am textile technology and apparel mgmt major turned software developer. TBH, most of my textiles knowledge is really rough. It's been almost 8 years since I graduated. I believe when it comes to Sea Island cotton, I don't know how many mills have access to it. AFAIK only two Swiss mills had access to it. Get a shirt made from Sea Island cotton and feel how nice it is. Almost all cottons wrinkle but the the longer the staple fibers the less likely it will wrinkle. Long staple fibers will be smoother and softer because the fibers won't stick out from the shirt and scratch your skin. Longer fibers are also thinner and therefore softer. Lastly, longer fibers break more easily and thus are less susceptible to pilling.
