People have been producing cotton fabric from cotton plants for thousands of years. Cotton fabric is appreciated because it is lightweight and breathable. During the Industrial Revolution in 1796, Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, which allowed cotton to be processed more quickly. Today, Extra Long Staple (ELS) cotton is produced in a number of countries, including the U.S. and Egypt. This high-quality cotton is called Pima cotton in the United States and is the most widely used quality for cloth because of its strength.
