What is Supima Cotton?

At LEBAFFI Manufacturing Company, we proudly offer Supima cotton—a premium material renowned for its exceptional softness, strength, and vibrant color retention. Grown exclusively in the United States, Supima cotton is an Extra-Long Staple (ELS) cotton with fibers that measure at least 1.5 inches. This results in superior durability, resistance to pilling, and a luxurious feel that stands the test of time.

Its ability to hold dyes ensures rich, long-lasting colors, making it an ideal choice for high-end apparel, bed linens, and textiles where quality and comfort are key. Supima truly lives up to its name, a blend of "superior" and "Pima," setting a new standard in fabric excellence.

• The Rarest and Finest Choice for Your Brand : At Lebaffi, we take pride in offering products made from Supima cotton, one of the rarest and most luxurious cotton varieties in the world. Grown exclusively in the USA on around 500 family-owned farms, Supima accounts for just 1% of global cotton production—making it a truly exceptional material.


• Extra Staple Length: The Secret to Supima’s Superiority: The remarkable qualities of Supima cotton stem from its extra-long staple (ELS) fibers, which measure 1.5 inches compared to regular cotton's 1 inch. This longer fiber length enhances the fabric’s resistance to pilling, tearing, and wear, ensuring our Supima t-shirts and knitted apparel maintain their shape and durability for years.


• Unmatched Softness and Shine: Supima’s ELS fibers produce smoother yarns, resulting in softer, shinier fabrics that exude luxury. The more you wash, the softer our Supima cotton apparel gets, ensuring that your customers experience unparalleled comfort with every wear.


• Strength and Durability: Twice as strong as regular cotton, Supima’s tightly bound fibers provide unmatched durability. Whether it’s twisting, stretching, or long-term use, your brand's products will leave a lasting impression on your customers.


• Vibrant, Long-Lasting Colors: Supima cotton’s fine fibers absorb dye deeply, resulting in rich, vibrant colors that resist fading even after multiple washes. With our customizable dyeing options, you can choose hues that perfectly align with your brand identity.


• Breathable and Ideal for Hot Climates: Supima cotton’s natural breathability helps regulate body temperature, making it the perfect choice for hot and humid climates. Keep your customers comfortable and fresh with our breathable Supima apparel.


• Sustainability at Its Core: In today’s eco-conscious world, Supima cotton stands out as a sustainable and eco-friendly option. Choosing our Supima t-shirts and knitted products reflects your brand’s commitment to the environment.


• Mercerized Supima Cotton for Added Luxury: Mercerization enhances Supima cotton’s luster, strength, and color absorption. This process makes the fabric shinier, more vibrant, and longer-lasting, offering a premium feel that sets your brand apart.

At Lebaffi, our Supima cotton products deliver exceptional quality and sophistication, ensuring your brand stands out in a competitive market.
