C-100 Combed Cotton

Combed cotton is like the VIP of pure cotton fabric treated with great care to make it extra soft and durable. Let’s talk about cotton combing. Raw cotton comes with all these short fibers and tiny particles mixed in. Not the absolute best for making soft, luxurious fabric.

That’s where the combing comes in. This cotton goes through special combing machines that literally comb out all the short fibers and impurities. This is done before spinning the fiber into yarn. The mechanism not only works like untangling massive knots in your hair but also filters out particles so that only the purest cotton fibers remain.

The C stands for comb, 100 refers to thread count, or the number of threads per every inch of fabric. 100 falls in the mid-range. It's not super high so it is breathable but it's definitely not low either. Once done with the combing, the resulting material is soft and glossy, ready to be woven into these amazing apparel items like the Peoples Uniforms and Cotton Drifter.
