The Pharoahs never saw it this good

Egyptian Giza Cotton is widely known as the king of world cotton production. But frankly even kings differ in their royalty.

2/140’s Egyptian Giza cotton is one such variant – the crème de la creme. Here, the finest Egyptian Cotton fibers are taken from the farms and woven into light weight 140 count yarn, which is then made 2 ply and woven into fantastic egyptian cotton shirt fabric.

Now for those new to such fabric terminology, yarn count is an indicator of the fineness of the yarn. The higher the count, the finer the yarn. While your regular count yarns may range from 40s to 100s, 140 count of any cotton is luxury. And when it is 140 count of Egyptian Giza cotton, its super luxury.

We at Vitruvien are fans of personalised cotton shirts made from this yarn. The thing with higher count yarns is that the fabric gets finer and lighter as the count increases. A fabric woven out of 2 ply 140s yarn comes in the delicate range of perfection – it is neither too thin, nor too thick. Its that perfect balance for your custom shirt.

At Vitruvien we offer this fine fabric as a part of our Regalia collection. You can custom make your own 2/140s Egyptian Giza cotton shirt in myriad hues and patterns.
