I agree Nardo. These videos Raphael produces to explain the history of clothing, whether it be cotton, corduroy, or anything else, are fascinating! I'm learning so much and it's really helping to power up my wardrobe, and getting me to work harder or save more to get more funds to buy the higher end fabrics.

[@AppletonPermaculture]

Your videos are a cut above the other men's fashion channels out there. So much information, really interesting!

The part about the quality going down over time is so true. Bought a Patagonia hoodie that started pilling not long after purchasing it.

Raphael, every one of your videos are intensely informative. I will now stop machine drying my dress shirts! I owe you!

I thought the exact same thing even though I know you posted this 2+ years ago

[@ThomasStClair-zr2lb]

Very good video, I didn't know there was so much variation in cotton. I'd like to make a correction on the organic cotton points, organic means no 'synthetic' pesticides/fertilizers or no more than a few percent synthetic. Unfortunately it's not much safer for the environment or the people. Love the video and I can't wait for the next one as always.

[@AnFellow]

Oh I do hope this is the first of many fabric videos.... Judging by the playlist you created titled fabrics I think it is. Great video. I am looking forward to more!

My Take: There are many different types of cotton, each with its own unique characteristics that make it suitable for different applications. Here are some of the main differences between different types of cotton: Long-staple vs. short-staple cotton: The length of the cotton fibers, or "staple," affects the strength and quality of the cotton. Long-staple cotton, such as Egyptian cotton, has longer fibers and is typically softer, stronger, and more durable than short-staple cotton. Pima vs. Supima cotton: Pima cotton is a type of long-staple cotton that is grown primarily in the United States, while Supima cotton is a trademarked brand of Pima cotton that is grown specifically in the southwestern United States. Supima cotton is known for its softness, strength, and durability. Organic vs. conventional cotton: Organic cotton is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, which makes it a more sustainable and environmentally friendly option. However, organic cotton is often more expensive than conventionally grown cotton. Combed vs. carded cotton: Combed cotton is a more refined version of cotton that has been processed to remove any shorter fibers, resulting in a smoother and more uniform fabric. Carded cotton, on the other hand, has not been combed and may have a slightly rougher texture. Giza cotton: Giza cotton is a type of long-staple cotton that is grown in Egypt. It is known for its softness and luster and is often used to make high-end clothing and luxury linens. Overall, the differences in cotton can affect its texture, strength, durability, and environmental impact. When choosing cotton products, it's important to consider the specific characteristics of each type of cotton to determine which one is best suited for your needs.

I am about to enter Suit Supply store... Thanks for this information! Now I know where to look for when buying my first premium shirt. I definetly will search for Albini :)

[@izounokuda5461]

I bought Muji 100% Indian Cotton... it's hot and itchy even though it's thin. I have a treated 100% cotton t-shirt bought in America and it has a Made in USA label. The shirt was treated to appear "used"... That cotton ...even though thicker feels so much cooler.

[@ericmed]

Love all the details in the various videos

[@pechadeh]

Hi Raphael, can you make a video explaining polyester and alike. I know it's an inferior type of synthetic fibre but can you give us more in-depth guide about it and whether there is some characteristic which actually better for some specific use of clothing. Thanks!

[@ashleyjordan8869]

Great video. Thanks for the details on washing too 😉

[@ellove370]

Raphael, you found your "calling" "History Professor"😊I found this video extremely interesting.

[@patriciabarbao]

Do more videos like this One! Polyester, marine wool, viskos etc 🤗🤗

[@seybertooth9282]

The polyester one would be about 7 seconds long: "Polyester, has no good qualities, only used because it is cheap. Avoid at all costs. For this video I am wearing... nothing, since we at Gentleman's Gazette do not have any polyester clothes."

I admit if i need something to learn or fix, i watch a lot of videos and quit the app. this time i needed an information and i got all and more. and you know what I'm impressed enough to like. i was wondering why two different %100 cotton t-shirts of same brand feels different. asked it in the most popular and informative site in my country and in fact i did get few answers but they did not satisfy me. now I know it's all about staple length. thanks dude. But can you answer me that those answers were right or wrong. they said companies do produce clothes like 90-60% cotton and left is mixed with viscon and lykra. full cotton is ridiculously expensive thus brands do write 100% cotton down on label. true?

Hi gentlemens, i would like to ask you a question about quality of fabric in general, i have noticed taht on one of my dress shirts label says that i can wash it on 50 degrees of celsia and on the other shirt is only 30C is the first shirt made from better fabric or it doesn't matter? Thank you.

it would be good to know what type of cotton gets used in brands like Carhartt or brand like Kenzo. all you have to go bye is feeling it. Be good to know the type and origin

[@blackwood3243]

I'm confused. First you say quality cotton is 2 to 2.5 in , then you say 2 to 2.5 cm. Am I miss understanding? Please explain.

[@OctaviusLucien]

Where do you recommend I can buy an espadrille such as the one you were wearing in todays video? I have been looking but they are hard to find in Australia.

[@WhiterockFTP]

I thought „longer“ staple cotton is actually softer to the skin. It was explained to me like this: The longer the fibre, the less fibres you need, the less „itchy“ ends of those on your skin. What do you think?

[@WhiterockFTP]

I dunno. I have an extra long staple cotton t-shirt and it‘s the most comfortable piece of clothing I habe in my possession…

[@killermaru]

People dislike this kind of video simly dont' have a style :)

[@nikhilsrl]

Very informative. Good point about brands changing quality. I have 4 Albini cotton based shirts made at the same time. 1 of these has a very plasticky feel. Though the shirt looks good, I am wondering if it is really cotton or some synthetic blend. Oh and did you say you are wearing a Uniqlo shirt ;)?

[@ercolefelino7138]

I worked in Albini 10 years, they produce only Cotton 100%, and Linen blend and pure. Sometime they use Tencel and modal fibers and more rarely synthetic blend for Stretch or decorative yarns. If you have plasticky feels it is probably due to the fine yarn count. The piumino 100/1 is one of the finest yarn avaliable.

[@prudhviyettapu2098]

I didn't get why the fibre is burnt?

[@Ikari777]

Hey Sven, the intro slide reads Cotton Exlpained

[@likira111]

I'snt cotton still way better than polyester for the enviorment?

[@sunnymadher]

likira111 I think it is yes, but the colour dying process of cotton uses LOADS of water.

[@sophroniel]

Mercerisation isn't always a gas; higher quality fabrics are treated at various different levels of production, and bathing raw cotton is tricky and massively labour-intensive but that and gas treatments prior to twill-weaving gives a fabric that is vastly superior--orders of magnitudes better, in fact. And slippery or "silk-like" cotton is usually this. Unless any chemical, manual or temperature treatments are done with time care and knowledge it also noticeably degrades the fibre (one sign is the short-staple pilling you touched on), but when appropriately carried out, it can reinforce what is, in the industry, known as a pretty fickle, short-life fibre. Personally I think there are a handful of specific good uses for cotton but in almost all scenarios it is a hugely inferior cellulose-derived fibre to linen and bamboo silks.

[@OggerFN]

Great video but it's hard to find good quality cotton and naming some high end cotton manufacturers doesn't help. So at the end of the day we have to "trust" brands on what they tell us.
