That's awesome! How does this stack up to Carribean Sea Island or Giza 45?

THANKS BAHZAD! Sorry for the mix up!!!

​@@karlenglewood8940 Great Question!! Most of the top-quality cotton we see these days is pretty much all linked to Sea Island Cotton. You see, this cotton got shipped and planted all around the world. Over time, through selective breeding and cross breeding new strains developed their own quirks, based on the region or farmer's techniques. Giza 45 and Ultimate Pima for instance - both have Sea Island Cotton in their family tree. When you start comparing super high-grade cotton, the differences between them aren't going to be earth-shattering, but they're still there. One thing's for sure: extra-long staple cotton gives you the best combo of durability and softness. How you finish the cotton counts for a lot too - whether you're doing ring spinning or open-ended, or if it's combed or not. These factors could be about cutting costs or maybe they're deliberate design choices. To me, the big difference with Ultimate Pima is that it's not just in the top 1% of premium cotton - it's also grown organically and sustainably in the U.S. Because of the high altitude where it's grown, the cold weather works like a natural pest control. Plus, the chill helps with natural defoliation when harvest time rolls around. No chemical pesticides, no chemical defoliants. The harvest itself is super efficient, thanks to machines. This is a cotton that is grown with purpose and absolute care, and utilizes the natural environment to produce a premium product.

Imagine if it only 11 ons!!! That is much rarest!!! 😂

Next one in September😅

LETS RAGE

How dare u

what makes ultimate pima cotton so rare? is it due to where it can be grown, or the skill/resources required to grow it properly, or some other factors?

​@@b0fa968 I would say it's more about the skills, resources, and willingness. As a farmer, you have to be very committed and passionate to grow such a specialized cotton. It's more difficult, it takes longer time, the yield is lower, and there isn't high demand for it. The reason why Ultimate Pima Cotton exists is because of a great partnership between the farmer and the spinning company in Japan who are both determined to create the highest quality cotton in the most environmentally responsible way.

My 100% cotton t fruit of the loom from 2001, still live.

So it's half-plastic. My skin is very, very sensitive. I get rashes easily. In fact, I can only use unscented detergents, soaps, shampoo, etc. Polyester (and other synthetic fabrics) give me a rash.

I feel blessed

Why would one be excited to spill tomato sauce on a t-shirt?

Thank you!

it's actually a Merz 215 btw

@@KyleByquist He wears both in Season 1, including other shirts like a Hanes x Supreme collab or something, but season 2 is just the Merz B 215

I talked about them last t-shirt vid actually!

TAKE IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL

Tanim!!! Lovely meeting you!!

Can you recommend some brands ?

@@chudak__Yes. Samurai Jeans - SJST-SC01, GLAD HAND & Co. - ROYAL CLASS - R-01, merz b. schwanen 2s14, the flat head fn-thc-001, ues ramayana, Merz b. Schwanen 215, Merz b. Schwanen 214, UES No.8. Named some few. Those are all heavyweight.

I maybe wouldn‘t recommend the the UES nr 8. it’s thick and very warm as well. Check also studies d‘artison and wonder looper tees

Ty my friend!!

(This is rather true)

On the flip side, these shirts can last a long time, even a decade or more. You will have a little more pride in your shirt every time you wear it. That 50/10/200 dollar price tag might not seem so high if you take into account that you will wear it hundreds of times. I have a bunch of Los Angeles apparel shirts, and 7 years later they still hold up well. I never consider the price tag of 20-30 dollars each as they have been worth every penny. I imagine the same for something more high quality as well. PSA: don't eat spaghetti with a white shirt

Not that I have any $200 t shirt but some people at a point in life would rather have smaller quantity of clothes and higher quality ones that last longer, preferably a lifetime. Less is more, they say.

Kinda but as someone who buys a lot of clothes I probably waste more money buying a higher quantity of cheap clothes than a lower quantity of high quality clothes. Cause the cheap stuff I only wear a few times and it overcrowds my closet so I donate it

Brown is just unreal, best deal out there, I talked about them in the last t-shirt vid!

I will only cater to you from now on!

Ty ty ty!

Ty!

Which area(s) of the pant would they tailor? Pants aren’t easy to modify it … seams

@@aayotechnology everything. Waist, Leg Taper, Hem. You just get chinos with the fabric you like and don’t care about fit. Bespoke on the cheap.

thank YOU!

Sea island cotton is the rarest of all cotton! Great rec!

Need to look into this brand!

@@TheIronSnail Oh, yes! I have a custom version of the Redcap G9 Ventile jacket (with a hood), that's an amazing rain jacket (that I use in Norway) with no plastic. Gary who runs it, is a great guy as well!

Ty my friend!

Oh pshhhh

I’m adding them to the list!

…since when is everyone 6’4”

They are amazing!

Ty!!

Where’d you buy it? I’m based in London too. Thanks!

I covered them in my last t-shirt vid!!

Oh I’ll have to look into it!

Wait a minute

I did it just for the shot! I should have noted it though!
