What Does 95% Supima® Cotton Mean in a Shirt?

A clear guide to Maison Darya’s 95% Supima® cotton and 5% Lycra blend—what it means for softness, structure, stretch, and everyday wear.

Maison Darya black Supima cotton polo

Maison Darya polos and crews are made with 95% Supima® cotton and 5% Lycra. That blend is intentional: the cotton provides the soft, refined hand-feel; the small amount of stretch helps a slim, athletic fit move comfortably and return to shape.

What is Supima® cotton?

Supima® is a trademark for American-grown extra-long staple cotton. Extra-long fibers can be spun into smoother, stronger yarns than many standard cottons. In a finished shirt, that can mean a softer feel, cleaner surface, and better durability with normal wear and care.

Why 5% Lycra?

A shirt that is 100% cotton can feel great, but it may not recover as well through a long day. The 5% Lycra in Maison Darya styles adds controlled stretch so the shirt sits closer through the chest and arms without feeling restrictive.

What the fabric blend means for Maison Darya

  • Soft next to skin: made for long office days, dinners, and travel.
  • Clean athletic shape: stretch supports the close-to-body fit.
  • Everyday versatility: polished enough for work, relaxed enough for off-hours.
