Giza 45, The best Cotton

Giza 45 plants are grown in a small area east of the Nile delta, researching every year the

most suitable position and represent the 0.4% of the total annual production of Egyptian

cotton.

The harvesting takes place in five phases in order to

pick up at each step only the flakes at the right degree of ripeness.

Crop care and hand-picking prevents the use of defoliants and other chemicals, commonly

used in mechanized harvesting

Cotton is planted in late March when the weather is a little cool, allowing the production of

branches in the lower part of the plant.

Accrued cotton flakes in the shade are not as affected by the direct heat of the Sun.

In July and August, during the formation of cotton fibers, the climate is very stable and

favorable for the production of uniform and regular fibres collected then in September.

The Giza 45 cotton fibers have a very high length 36 mm with a uniformity of 88.5%. But

what makes this exceptional cotton is the finesse of these fibres, as measured by average of

2.95 micronaire,

the best of the Extra Long Staple cotton

Despite this the resistance of fibre fineness of Giza 45 remains high, amounting on average

to 44.30 gram/tex, similar to that of less purpose such as cotton Giza 88. From this mix of

finesse and strength you will get the best yarns in the world since, with the same diameter

fibres

For strength, cleanliness and regularity are the unique characteristics of excellence of Giza

45, which produce extremely fine yarns and fabrics, durable,

with one hand only extraordinarily soft and silky to the best Shirts World
