Top brand or top towel / bath towel requirements:
Fabric: 3% of the global cotton can be called ELS (extra long staple cotton). At present, the best cotton production areas on the earth are mainly divided into four production areas: Island cotton, Egyptian cotton, Peru Pima cotton and American Pima cotton. Among them, the island cotton in the West Indies is rare, and its price is even more expensive than cashmere.
Origin: the top towel / bath towel production areas are basically in Britain, Portugal, Turkey, India and other countries, among which the old brands are Britain and Portugal. Because of the inherent advantages of industrial revolution, they are the top textile level at present. Turkey and India are the world’s first cotton growers and birthplaces.
Technology: top class towel / bath towel not only retains the traditional manual knitting method, but also uses the latest high-tech knitting technology, such as Christy’s “Cheshire mill” process in the UK and “state of the art” by abyss in Portugal. It is very suitable for the dispersion of long staple cotton wool, which brings better water absorption and touch, and maintains superior durability.
Weight: top class towel / bath towel is not heavy in fact, but soft and light. The thicker the towel / bath towel is, the slower it dries when it is too thick. GSM is the key to measure quality. GSM = g / SM = gram per square meter, that is, gram weight per square meter. The cotton cloth of general texture is thick about 200g. Most of the medium and high-grade towels in China are about 300gsm-450gsm, and the production requirements of more than 500 are very high. The top towel / bath towel is not thick, relying on the cotton wadding expansion of long cotton, but the GSM is as high as 600 or even 700, which makes the towel / bath towel feel fluffy and comfortable, light and convenient
To illustrate with the pictures, No. 1 is island cotton, and No. 2 is Giza 45, known as “king of Egyptian cotton”. The output of Egyptian cotton is the lowest, accounting for only 0.4% of Egyptian cotton output (note that it accounts for the output of Egyptian cotton, not all cotton production). It is the longest lint except island cotton, but it still can’t be compared with island cotton. No.4 is us Pima cotton, also known as American Egyptian cotton, that we can often see when we buy American towel and other cotton products. As for Supima cotton, it is an enhanced version of Pima cotton, but it is still several grades lower than island cotton. Pima cotton is super long staple cotton. I hope to buy good cotton products (towel, polo shirt, underwear, etc.), and Pima cotton or above is very good.
Island cotton is a super long cashmere cotton, is the king of cotton, “Cashmere texture, silk luster” famous. Generally, the average fiber length of more than 35mm will become extra long cotton, while the fiber length of island cotton is more than 50mm. But island cotton is more precious, the output is very small, most of them are monopolized by several companies, so it is rarely seen to make towel with island cotton.
