Question 1

What's Suvin cotton?

Accepted Answer

Suvin is an Indian cotton variety bred from Sujata and Sea Island cotton, known for its especially long staple. Only a small amount of it is grown each year.

Question 2

What's Lotus yarn?

Accepted Answer

Lotus is the name of the yarn, which is spun in Japan from Suvin cotton. The mills that make it specialize in the fine cotton yarns that a long staple makes possible.

Question 3

Why does staple length matter?

Accepted Answer

Long-staple cotton leaves fewer fiber ends on the fabric's surface. That makes the fabric smoother, helps reduce pilling, and lets the yarn be spun finer while staying strong.

Question 4

Which pieces are made with Lotus yarn?

Accepted Answer

The Japanese Lotus Luxe Polo is made from 100% Suvin cotton, spun in Japan into Lotus yarn.

Question 5

How does Suvin compare with pima cotton?

Accepted Answer

Both are long-staple cottons, so both feel smooth and resist pilling for the same reason. Suvin has the longer staple of the two, and much less of it is grown.

Question 6

What is pilling?

Accepted Answer

Pilling happens when loose fiber ends work their way out of the yarn and form small balls on the fabric's surface. Long-staple cottons tend to pill less because they have fewer loose ends.

Question 7

What other men's tops collections should I shop?

Accepted Answer

You can also shop men's polo shirts, men's casual polos, and men's luxe pima tees, as well as men's shirts, men's casual shirts, and men's dress shirts.
