Great quality clothing 100% pima cotton imported.
Not wanting to encourage the spam, but what *is* pima cotton?
Pima cotton is an extra long staple (fiber length) cotton that is often
used in high end textiles shirts, sheets, etc. It is also ginned in a
roller gin that may damage the fiber less than the traditional saw gin
used on upland cotton.
Note that there's no advantage to buying imported Pima in the US, as the
US is the world's primary producer of Pima cotton.
