The easiest to identify Pima cotton fabric is supima.
Supima, in its early days, was a non-profit promotion organization originating in the Americas. Later it gradually became a symbol of American Pima cotton. Nowadays, the brand logo with supima® is 100% American Pima cotton.

Personal experience:
In fact, the feeling of Pima cotton clothing is not much different from that of ordinary cotton. It just feels more comfortable and is not prone to pilling, which is very good. It may be suitable as underwear, but to be honest, I personally feel that as long as the clothes have no fluorescence and no harmful substances such as formaldehyde, the domestic Xinjiang long-staple cotton feels suitable for most people’s needs.
