Cotton

Cotton is a soft fiber that grows on the cotton plant, often spun into yarn or thread and used to make textiles that are both breathable and soft, and it is the most widely used natural-fiber today for clothing. It is used for a great number of textile products, for example t-shirts are commonly made from cotton, but also denim (used to make jeans) and corduroy are made from this versatile fiber.

The majority of gothic clothes we carry in our shop are made from cotton.
