The Magic of Pre-shrunk Cotton
If you’ve ever been to a beach, you know why we rave about cotton. It’s your secret weapon to beat the California sun. At Sea Breeze of California, we do things a little differently. Our clothing is made using 100% pre-shrunk cotton – but what does this mean? How is pre-shrunk cotton different than normal cotton? Why do we use 100% pre-shrunk cotton for all our garments?
We’re sharing the benefits of pre-shrunk cotton and how it helps to give you a more enjoyable experience in our resort wear. This textile has more to it than meets the eye, and by pre-shrinking our cotton, you can love your Sea Breeze garments for the seasons to come.
The benefits of cotton clothing.
Cotton is our fabric of choice for our resort wear. If you live in a warm climate or are jetting off on a tropical vacation, cotton will be your go-to. This comfortable fabric offers everything from breathability to durability, all while being hypoallergenic prior to dyeing***.
***Our only 100% hypoallergenic color is Natural.
Historically cozy.
Did you know that cotton has been used for at least 7000 years? We love cotton as a naturally sustainable fabric that is long-lasting and kind to your skin. Your coziest pajamas and favorite t-shirts are likely made using 100% cotton. As a natural fabric, cotton is hypoallergic*** and won’t irritate your skin, making it ideal for those with allergies.
It’s cool.
Cotton is the only fabric you want to be wearing during the summer. It helps you stay cool and is odor-free, so you don’t have to worry about sweat clinging to your clothes in the height of summer. The moisture control of cotton is why it’s a popular choice for t-shirts, resort wear, and activewear. Cotton sits comfortably against your skin and stretches easily for added wearability.
How pre-shrunk cotton is different.
A long-term investment.
You want your clothing to last. After all, it’s an investment in your closet. Whether you have a capsule closet or live in your Sea Breeze resort wear, you want to get a return on your investment. But have you ever fallen in love with a garment only for it to shrink in the wash? That’s why we use 100% pre-shrunk cotton.
By pre-shrinking our cotton, it helps to eliminate shrinkage over time. This manufacturing process uses agitation, heat, and moisture to shrink the cotton. It helps to improve the overall quality of your garment and means you can love it – and wear it – for years to come. You can wash your cotton garments without worrying about them shrinking. It’s a win-win for you, your closet, and your wallet.
