Sea Island Super 140s Shirt

Our sea island super 140s shirting fabric is a genuine West Indian Sea Island cotton. Known as "gossypium barbadense" or "black seed", it is one of the most ancient and precious cotton types in the world, discovered in the early eighteenth century in the British West Indies. This sea Island cotton of Barbados is distinguished from all other species of cotton thanks to its unique characteristics: the considerable staple length of the fiber, the high strength, the natural uniformity and the significant brightness. The seeds are carefully selected to ensure the highest quality and sowing is done mechanically in the traditional way. Harvesting, by hand, is carried out with the utmost attention to not spoil that which nature has created... All of this to say; this is one of the finest shirting fabrics in the world.
