That's the weak answer. The full retard answer is long staple cotton. Also goes by Pima, Supima or Egyptian Cotton. If you don't see these words, its not long staple.

Pretty much all of those are unverifiable and there have been plenty of lawsuits about fake Egyptian Cotton. All of those labels are unregulated. If you’re buying based of that, you shouldn’t have a lot of confidence

I buy based on labels as I'm not a pessimist. Fraud is everywhere and in everything, but I still pump 93 in my car and take a pill from a bottle that's says ibuprofen. If you wish to live your life believing 1 lawsuit = give up, then go on with your bad self.

There have been a lot more than 1 lawsuit on Egyptian Cotton. Plus, most companies buy their cotton from a distributor, who buys that off the open market. I can’t believe that anyone would honestly think they are getting “Egyptian cotton” with their Costco sheets or whatever. There are few companies that buy direct rather it be Supima, Pima, or Upland or Giza 45. Regardless, it is best to buy from a company buying directly from the farm or growing it themselves like Red Land Cotton- their sheets are the best anyway

They are not the best as there is no best. Careful with words as there's no evidence to back them up. Red Land Cotton is long staple cotton and is top tier. Best? There's no evidence of that.
