And, What Makes It So Comfortable?

The modern clothing landscape is rich with a diverse array of textile materials that form the products we cherish. From plant-based fibers to synthetic fabrics, this variety allows fashion to adapt both the aesthetics and functionality of garments to suit their intended purposes.

Our unique lifestyles and the activities we enjoy shape our individual preferences for clothing materials. For instance, someone who spends considerable time outdoors is likely to appreciate the warmth of high-quality **sherpa wool**, while a gym enthusiast may favor the flexibility of polyester-based attire.

However, with cotton serving as the foundation for many of our garments, we encounter a simple truth:

Not all cotton is created equal!

Today, we’re spotlighting a specific type of cotton renowned for its exceptional quality, featured in many of our products: Airlume cotton.

Let’s explore the question, “What is Airlume cotton?” By understanding its unique characteristics, you’ll see why our Robert August products represent the pinnacle of softness, quality, and beyond.

What Sets Cotton Apart?

To understand why Airlume cotton shines brighter than other cotton varieties, we need to dive into the intriguing world of cotton quality. All cotton products hail from the cotton plant, but the magic really happens during processing and cleaning.

The journey begins with a crucial step called ‘combing.’ Think of it as a spa day for cotton—getting rid of any lingering dirt or soil particles to ensure top-notch quality. Once the cotton is combed to perfection, it’s time for the spinning process. This is where the true transformation occurs, enhancing the softness and comfort of the fibers.

Some cotton types require more intensive spinning techniques, and this meticulous process smooths the fibers while banishing impurities. The result? Strands that feel luxuriously soft and wonderfully inviting, setting Airlume cotton apart as a premium choice you’ll love!

Creating Airlume cotton is a meticulous journey that never skips a beat. Simply put, it’s among the finest cotton available.

Airlume cotton boasts exceptional quality, being a type of combed ringspun cotton. This unique process begins with raw cotton undergoing an intense combing, meticulously removing every impurity to elevate the quality for the next step.

While this thorough combing does result in some material loss—which is why many manufacturers shy away from such textiles—it’s precisely this dedication to quality that justifies the price. When it comes to Airlume, you truly get what you pay for!

Have you heard of long-staple cotton? Once the cotton is combed, it’s ready to be spun into yarn. Cheaper cotton products often use short strands, making production faster but sacrificing quality. This results in yarn filled with loose fibers that create a rough texture, making prints look blurry and the fabric itchy and uncomfortable.

In contrast, Airlume cotton utilizes long-staple strands, ensuring a super soft and smooth end product. The careful spinning process prevents loose fibers from sticking out, resulting in a fabric that feels luxurious against your skin.

When you wear Robert August products made from Airlume cotton, you’ll experience clothing like never before. The softness and comfort will make you rethink your favorites! Discover the difference for yourself, and you might just find your new go-to piece in your wardrobe!
