Longer fibers need fewer twists to spin into yarn and leave fewer fiber ends exposed at the fabric surface. That is the mechanical reason the fabric feels smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeruvian Pima is grown in the northern coastal valleys of Peru, where cotton has been cultivated for thousands of years. It accounts for a small fraction of world cotton production. Boablanca's fabric is spun and knit in Peru by Idetex, a vertically integrated textile group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine wash cold with similar colors. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not bleach. Cool iron if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotton shrinks most in its first wash, and most of that shrinkage comes from heat rather than water. Washing cold and drying low is what preserves the fit you bought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWill 100% Pima cotton shrink in the dryer?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eAll cotton shrinks, and heat does most of the work. Water alone changes very little. Washing cold and drying low, or laying flat to dry, is what keeps a garment the size it was when it arrived. The shrinkage people associate with cotton almost always comes from a hot tumble dry.\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs Pima cotton better than regular cotton?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThey are not the same plant. Peruvian Pima is \u003cem\u003eGossypium barbadense\u003c\/em\u003e, whose fibers run beyond 34 millimetres. The cotton in most t-shirts is \u003cem\u003eGossypium hirsutum\u003c\/em\u003e, or Upland, at 22 to 28 millimetres. A longer fiber needs less twist to hold together and leaves fewer loose ends at the surface of the cloth, and the surface is what the hand reads.\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhy is Pima cotton more expensive than regular cotton?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eBecause every stage favors quality over yield. Extra-long staple cotton is a small share of the world crop, so the fiber itself is scarce. Combing removes the shorter fibers before spinning and discards part of the raw weight. Longer, finer yarn is then spun slowly. What the price reflects is fiber and process, not a label.\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHow long does Peruvian Pima cotton last?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eA t-shirt rarely fails all at once. Three things go first: the collar loses its shape, the surface turns fuzzy, and the color dulls. Extra-long staple fiber delays the second and the third, because fewer fiber ends reach the surface to tangle, and a smoother yarn holds dye more evenly. Cold washing and low drying extend all three.\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDoes Peruvian Pima cotton feel different against the skin?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe hand of a fabric comes down to how many fiber ends reach its surface and how much friction they create. Extra-long staple fibers exceed 34 millimetres against 22 to 28 for Upland cotton, so a given length of yarn holds fewer ends, and fewer of them protrude. Combing removes the shortest fibers before spinning and lowers that number again. The surface is smoother, and there is less to catch.\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHow does the Women's Pima Fitted Crewneck Tee fit?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eA fitted silhouette: shaped through the chest and waist, closer to the body than a classic or relaxed cut. If you are between sizes or prefer more room, size up. Measurements by size sit in the size guide above.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs a fitted tee appropriate for layering?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes, in the right order. The fitted cut sits cleanly under an open jacket or cardigan. Layering something fitted over it adds bulk at the seams.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping, Delivery \u0026amp; Returns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplimentary shipping on orders over $135.\u003c\/strong\u003e Below that, shipping is calculated at checkout.
