Supima
Cotton.
We use only 100% pure Supima cotton — grown exclusively in America and woven into a distinctive heathered cloth that is softer, stronger, and more refined than standard cotton.
Supima cotton is the perfect material for warm climates. Its extra-long staple fibers produce a fabric of extraordinary breathability and softness, while its natural strength means it holds its structure and colour wash after wash, year after year.
We source our Supima cotton cloth from producers who treat the weaving process as a discipline, not a transaction. These artisans have refined their craft across generations, working with only the finest raw fibers to produce a cloth with depth, texture, and lasting character.
Their process is unhurried and deliberate. From fiber selection to finished cloth, each stage of production is guided by hands that understand what great fabric feels like before it ever becomes a garment. The result is a heathered weave that carries the warmth of the California coast without sacrificing the precision demanded by Portuguese tailoring.
Quality and attention to detail define every Mayson Mills shirt. Our craftsmen in Portugal are respected for their mastery — conserving a tradition of made-in-Portugal excellence that has been passed down through workshops in Braga and Porto for generations.
Every shirt is finished with 3mm Mother of Pearl embossed buttons — a quiet luxury detail that distinguishes the garment without announcing it. Combined with single needle stitching at 20 stitches per inch, felled seams, and an unstructured but crisp Wendler interlining, each piece is built to a standard most shirts never reach.
Why is our Supima cotton different?
Our cloth is woven from extra-long staple Supima fibers — a designation that covers less than 1% of the world’s cotton crop. These artisans rely on a long history of tradition and expertise to produce a cloth that offers exceptional softness, breathability, and durability. A Mayson Mills shirt does not simply look better than what you have worn before. It feels different from the first time you put it on.
Portuguese
Craftsmanship
We take great pride in partnering with skilled artisans across Portugal — from the historic textile workshops of Braga and Guimarães to the tailoring houses of Porto — craftsmen renowned for their exceptional precision and unwavering attention to detail.
They continuously refine their skills through knowledge passed down through generations, producing garments that reflect a standard of making that cannot be replicated at scale or rushed to market.
This is what allows us to give you a better, more enduring product. Not better marketing. Better hands.
We build deep-rooted relationships with our artisans and conduct business through transparent and fair means. We are committed to preserving Portugal’s extraordinary textile heritage by investing in its future — securing the continuation of a craft that has defined this country’s identity for centuries.
