Pima cotton is a long-staple cotton grown primarily in California and Arizona. It is exceptionally strong and fine. Supima (www.supima.com) is a trade name used by a group of Pima growers who adhere to certain standards of quality and labeling. Because Pima is expensive, some mills adulterate it with inferior cottons. Most Supima is DNA coded so that even on a retail shelf, its purity can be proven.
