400egyptian-cotton-SheetsEgyptian cotton is a term applied to the extra long staple cotton produced in Egypt.  Ironically, this cotton species is the same as the native American species, and was introduced to by Mohammad Ali Pasha in the early nineteenth century.  During the American Civil War, Europeans purchased their cotton from Egypt, and the cotton became an important part of producing clothing in Europe.  Earlier Egyptian peoples made their clothing from linen. 

Egyptian cotton is often associated with luxury and high class brands in modern times, with Egyptian cotton sheets in constant demand for their warmth and incredible breathability.
