1) Revealing the Secrets of Egyptian Cotton Trees: Their Types and Benefits
First things first, let’s scratch the surface and introduce to you the core of Egyptian cotton. That cotton has grown along the fertile Nile River valley, which is categorized as one of the top fertile areas for harvesting in the world. The fertile Nile River valley has the power of balancing among three of the crucial resources to the world: sun, humidity, and soil. What’s worth mentioning is that such a balance leads to the most suitable climate for cotton growth.
Upon growth, Egyptian cotton is divided into three types, distinguished by the length of the cotton fiber (also known as the staple). The three types of staples are:
- Extra-Long Staple (ELS)
- Long-Staple (LS)
- Regular cotton.
Our golden rule in this regard is: you can always measure cotton quality according to the length of its fibers; the longer the fibers are, the better the cotton is.
Egyptian Giza Cotton: The Finest of All
Gossypium barbadense, also known as extra-long staple cotton (ELS), is a species of cotton plants that is continuously cultivated to produce that specific length of fibers. The “Egyptian Giza” breed falls under ELS cotton, which is the only breed able to develop the longest staples, and accordingly, the finest. (1)
FYI: That finest breed is exactly what we use to manufacture your perfect wholesale socks!
2)Why Egyptian Cotton is a Superior Choice for Your Socks Than The Other Cotton Types:
Quoting Moody Socks Factory experts: “no type of cotton is like Egyptian cotton.” Your socks sales have the potential to flourish like NEVER before on this cotton’s shoulders! Let us start the cotton war and give you sufficient proof!
Egyptian Cotton vs. Regular Cotton:
| Egyptian Cotton | Regular Cotton |
| Egyptian cotton is handpicked. | Regular cotton is picked by machine. |
The privilege of handpicking over machine picking is huge! And it actually has a very positive effect on the quality of the yarn. HOW?
|
The picking by machine process places more stress on the cotton fiber and results in a weaker yarn that splices which can create a coarser texture erasing the comfort factor out of your socks! |
| Egyptian cotton also has a smaller diameter that allows more threads per square inch, and accordingly, creates the strongest socks anyone is looking for! | Regular cotton has a bigger diameter. |
Apparently, round (1) goes to Egyptian cotton!
Maybe in the next round, another type of cotton can compete?
Let’s figure out!
Egyptian Cotton vs. Pima Cotton:
| Egyptian Cotton | Pima Cotton |
| Egyptian cotton is made from the highest quality long-staple fiber; that’s where its strength, softness, and resistance to stress and pilling came from. | Pima cotton, although it comes with many of the properties similar to Egyptian cotton, it is considered to be a secondary material. |
| Egyptian cotton is an ideal investment for socks because it can last for years, that’s why it’s worth the investment. | Pima cotton from the other hand is a better color absorber than normal cotton. |
| The Egyptian cotton feel is tremendously soft and smooth creating the best comfortable pair of socks. | Pima is just as soft, boasting a high absorbency rate. |
| Egyptian cotton can handle a washing temperature of up to 40 degree Celsius. | Pima cotton can be washed to 60 degree Celsius. |
It’s undefeatable and wins round (2) as well!
Does Sea Island cotton stand a chance?
Let us question no more!
Egyptian Cotton vs. Sea Island Cotton:
| Egyptian Cotton | Sea Island Cotton |
| Fiber Length: >35mm (Giza 45, Giza 70, Giza 87, Giza 88, Giza 94) | Fiber Length: >35mm |
| Properties: fine, smooth hand feel, soft. | Properties: soft, silky, durable. |
| Usage: luxury bedding and socks. | Usage: often woven fabrics such as luxury shirts. |
| Market share: < 5% | Market share: 0.004% |
| Price: high. | Price: extremely high. |
Close enough, yet Egyptian Cotton still takes the lead.

Why Egyptian Cotton Socks Are Perceived By Customers (and Everyone) As the BEST?!
- Durability:
Thanks to the strength of Egyptian cotton fiber, socks are empowered by solid fabrics that provide them with the ability to resist stress and quick damages! - Shine bright like a diamond:
This is the perfect way to describe it! Egyptian cotton fiber perfectly absorbs liquids, the number one factor that makes its colors bright as the sun and always shining. - Pure and soft:
Wait until you touch it! It’s pure and soft like nothing else. The secret is “hand-picking”! Whencotton is hand-picked, it allows the fibers to keep their purity. Besides, it allows the skipping of using mechanical picking, which further keeps the fibers away from any kind of stress, to maintain their shape and softness. On the socks-front, this makes Egyptian cotton socks the most comfortable and seamless.
