Interesting that wikipedia considers Sea Island, Pima and Eyptian cotton the same.
David Reeves;4515787 said:The first shirt I ever got made for myself was sea island cotton. It did wear out quicker than cotton but a factor may have been that I didn't have a lot of shirts then (I was 18). For someone with a good shirt rotation not a problem. Laundering with wash bags is very useful with nice shirts as the washing machine drum can wear out corners on collars and cuffs pretty quick.
I am a stockist (hmm, you don't have that word in America?). Or carrier, of Sea Island cotton shirtings so I certainly rate it.
What do you think of Alumo Sea Island cotton? Its pretty expensive, wondering what others think about it.
Alumo's sea island is damned nice, some of their most expensive fabric. Though I am anxious to try their Zephir Soyella 170/2.
The sea island cotton today is very different from what is produced today.
It is indeed ******* great. If you are getting shirts made in it, they should provide collar and cuff replacement through the lifetime of the shirt. Paul Stuart does this.
