Cairo matte finish Egyptian cotton shirting - plum

A new Egyptian cotton, with a matte finish! The cotton used in this exceptional cloth comes from the banks of the Nile, where weather conditions are ideal for producing the best cotton in the world. Giza is woven using extremely rare long staple yarn, hand harvested and cultivated removing any irregularities or imperfections. It has a high breaking resistance and remarkable hand. A shirting weight (a bit lighter weight than our original Giza) with a high thread count, it is buttery soft with lovely drape, nearly opaque, and perfect for mens or ladies shirts, as well as ladies blouses, tops, tunics, etc. Very fine quality! The color is soft plum (PANTONE 18-3218). Please test first if you wish to hand or machine wash, and hang to dry.
