‘’MADE WITH CARE, WEAR WITH PRIDE’’<br />

P hilip van Zandt was born in September 9th, 1938 in the ‘Amsterdamse Pijp’. His father was an<br />

experienced tailor, and his mother died when he was at the age of 12. Philip who helps his<br />

father in the tailor had an idea to create his own brand, a brand that must be so unique from<br />

others that you need not only the eyes, but also the hart that can tell that the brand he was about<br />

to make isn’t something regular. England was the first country for Philip to observe and work in<br />

different tailors. Philip learned many things of stylish clothing that one of his keys to success was<br />

to make sure that the brand must have its own character of designing. This was important to<br />

make it specific for a group of people. Philip had an idea to invent a unique pattern on shirts<br />

which was suitable for Business and casual occasions. Philip was excellent in making sketch of<br />

clothing, so he had his sketchbook all the time with him to make sure he didn’t miss anything.<br />

After years of working in England, Philip went to Italy.<br />

In Milan, Philip worked for a tailor that was specialized in suits. Marciano Fanucchio was the<br />

owner of the tailor, and Marciano was amazed of the creativity what came out of Philip, he was<br />

becoming so popular that he was highly recommended for private tailoring, and designing in<br />

Italian suits. Philip regularly makes exclusive suits for Francesco Ferrari, the man who owns the<br />

Hotel Palazzo delle Stelline in Milan.<br />

Later on he moved to Paris where he stayed there for 6 months. Philip didn’t worked in Paris,<br />

but instead he draw the clothes what people where wearing, and came up with an idea, he<br />

would gathering enough knowledge of fashion to understand the way of how fashion would<br />

change time by time. One time he bought the New York Times magazine about New York, the<br />

leading city of Fashion in the world. He was confident that he wanted to visit New York. He saw<br />

the potential growth of brands he knew from countries he visited before, and was almost done<br />

by his research in making the best designing of brands. When he landed in New York, his first<br />

stop was the Manhattan. It was for Philip the ideal place to understand and feel the people who<br />

was in the fashion world. Philip met a lot of well-known fashion designers during the Fashion<br />

week in New York.<br />

Philip then moved to Tokyo. It was for him stunning to see how the Japanese had their own type<br />

of creativity, not much different than in the west, but different on how the Japanese mixed their<br />

creativity in color and designing. Philip made contact with some business men and women who<br />

started their sewing and fabric factories. It was the perfect time for Philip to understand the<br />

types of material that was used to make exclusive fashion clothes from high quality. Philip<br />

learned everything about the hundreds types of cotton, and was very selective in selecting only<br />

the highest and most environment friendly cotton in the world for his clothing line.<br />

After many times of washing, wearing and using the iron, the brand what Philip van Zandt<br />

designed was durable, that only a specific group of people used to wear it, mainly because of the<br />

combination he used of excellent quality, and latest fashion designing.<br />

Thoughts became true. Philip van Zandt created the brand<br />

‘Code of Silence’ and fulfilled his task in bringing the best<br />

of what the man can get. Philip van Zandt used the words<br />

‘Code of Silence’ to be his brand name. The ‘Code’<br />

represents your lifestyle, and ‘Silence’ is your character<br />

when you are not having your code on for the day. All the<br />

codes are available at Code of Silence, which code do you<br />

take?<br />

‘Fashion is comparable with science that still needs to be<br />

discovered, it takes years, maybe a lifetime to understand<br />

just the half of it’<br />

Quote: Philip van Zandt, founder of the brand<br />

“Code of Silence’’. <br />

EGYPTIAN COTTON-­‐ A LUXURIOUS COTTON GROWN ALONG THE NILE <br />

IS USED TO MAKE PRODUCTS WICH ARE S<strong>OF</strong>T, DURABLE AND SUPERIOR. <br />

EGYPTIAN COTTON COMES FROM WHERE ITS NAME SUGGESTS – EGYPT. <br />

THE HUMID CONDITIONS AND RICH SOIL IN EGYPT ALONG THE NILE <br />

RIVER VALLEY CREATE <br />

THE PERFECT CONDITIONS TO GROW LONG COTTON FIBERS (ALSO <br />

KNOWN AS STAPLES). <br />

AND EGYPTIAN COTTON FALLS UNDER THE CLASSIFICATION <strong>OF</strong> AN ELS <br />

(EXTRA-­‐LONG STAPLE) COTTON. <br />

THE STAPLES <strong>OF</strong> EGYPTIAN COTTON CAN RANGE FROM 1 ½ INCH TO 2 ¼ <br />

INCHES. <br />

THEIR LONG LENGTH (ABOUT TWICE THE SIZE <strong>OF</strong> OTHER COTTON <br />

FIBERS) ALLOWS THEM TO BE SPUN <br />

INTO VERY FINE YARNS. THESE YARNS ARE S<strong>OF</strong>T AND LUSTROUS YET <br />

VERY STRONG AND DURABLE. <br />

ANOTHER PROPERTY <strong>OF</strong> EGYPTIAN COTTON THAT MAKES IT HIGH <br />

QUALITY IS ITS ABILITY TO ABSORB LIQUID. <br />

THIS ABILITY ALLOWS IT SOAK IN DIES THAT GIVE THE FINAL PRODUCT <br />

VERY VIBRANT COLOR <br />

THAT LASTS LONGER THAN SOME OTHER COTTON PRODUCTS. <br />

TRUE EGYPTIAN COTTON COMES ONLY FROM EGYPT. <br />

BECAUSE COTTON GROWN ELSEWHERE WAS BEING SOLD AS EGYPTIAN, <br />

AN EGYPTIAN COTTON LOGO WAS TRADEMARKED IN 2001. IT IS USED <br />

TO DISTINGUISH 100% EGYPTIAN COTTON PRODUCTS FROM OTHER <br />

COTTONS. <br />

World’s finest cotton<br />

LOTS <strong>OF</strong> FABRICS FEEL S<strong>OF</strong>T AT FIRST. THAT'S BECAUSE<br />

LOTS <strong>OF</strong> FABRICS HAVE A CHEMICAL OR<br />

HEAT-PROCESSED FINISH. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT<br />

STARTS TO WEAR <strong>OF</strong>F AS SOON AS<br />

YOU WEAR THEM. OR WASH THEM.<br />

WITH SUPIMA, THE S<strong>OF</strong>TNESS IS INTEGRAL TO THE<br />

FIBER: IT NEVER GOES AWAY.<br />

YOU CAN DO ANYTHING TO SUPIMA THAT YOU DO TO<br />

ORDINARY COTTON:<br />

UNLIKE MOST LUXURY FIBERS, SUPIMA IS ACTUALLY<br />

STURDIER THAN RUN-<strong>OF</strong>-THE-MILL VARIETIES.<br />

THAT MEANS YOU CAN MACHINE WASH SUPIMA COTTON,<br />

THROW IT IN THE DRYER,<br />

OR USE YOUR FAVORITE LAUNDRY DETERGENT AND<br />

EVEN BLEACH IT.<br />

SUPIMA STILL LOOKS GREAT.<br />

SUPIMA IS A SPECIAL COTTON WITH AN EXTRA-LONG<br />

STAPLE LENGTH THAT'S<br />

EXTREMELY STABLE AND DEPENDABLE.<br />

YOU'LL NOTICE THAT ALL THE SEAMS HERE ARE<br />

STITCHED FLAT, THAT NECKLINE RIBBING IS<br />

REINFORCED,<br />

AND THERE'S NONE <strong>OF</strong> THE SHODDY SEWING THAT YOU<br />

FIND ON CUT-RATE COTTON CLOTHES.<br />

BEYOND THAT, CLOTHES STRETCH OUT FOR TECHNICAL<br />

REASONS LIKE INSUFFICENT TWIST IN THE YARN<br />

OR UNEVEN KNITS—AND YOU WON'T FIND ANY <strong>OF</strong> THAT<br />

HERE.<br />

SUPIMA IS MADE WITH 100% AMERICAN PIMA<br />

COTTON.<br />

SUPIMA IS MADE EXCLUSIVELY <strong>OF</strong> EXTRA-LONG STAPLE<br />

COTTON GROWN IN THE US AND<br />

HAS BECOME THE COTTON <strong>OF</strong> CHOICE AMONG THE<br />

WORLD'S FINE-COUNT YARN SPINNERS.<br />

HISTORY<br />

EXTRA-LONG STAPLE (ELS) COTTON HAS BEEN GROWN IN THE SOUTHWEST UNITED<br />

STATES SINCE THE EARLY-1900'S, BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL MID-CENTURY THAT MUCH<br />

ATTENTION WAS GIVEN TO THE NEW COTTON. THE REAL BREAKTHROUGH CAME IN<br />

1951 WHEN A SEED WAS DEVELOPED AND INTRODUCED THAT PRODUCED AN ELS<br />

COTTON WITH SUPERIOR FIBER PROPERTIES, LUSTER AND SILKINESS...AS WELL AS<br />

AN UNUSUALLY HIGH YIELD. SUBSEQUENT VARIETY RELEASES IN THE 1970'S, 80S<br />

AND 90'S INCLUDED PIMA S-5, S-6 AND S-7, ALL <strong>OF</strong> WHICH BOASTED HIGHER YIELDS<br />

AND BETTER SPINNING CHARACTERISTICS.<br />

THE NAME "PIMA" WAS APPLIED TO ELS COTTON (PREVIOUSLY CALLED AMERICAN-<br />

EGYPTIAN) BEING DEVELOPED IN THE U.S. DESERT SOUTHWEST IN THE EARLY<br />

1900'S. THE NAME WAS GIVEN IN HONOR <strong>OF</strong> THE PIMA INDIANS WHO WERE HELPING<br />

TO RAISE THE ELS COTTON ON THE USDA EXPERIMENTAL FARM IN SACATON,<br />

ARIZONA.<br />

ALTHOUGH SOUTH AMERICA IS THE CENTER <strong>OF</strong> ORIGIN <strong>OF</strong> THE SPECIES<br />

GOSSYPIUM BARBADENSE, TO WHICH ELS COTTONS BELONG, THESE COTTONS<br />

WERE PHOTOPERIODIC, AND THE FIBER WAS MEDIUM STAPLE IN LENGTH AND<br />

COARSE, AS TYPIFIED BY THE CURRENT TANGUIS COTTONS <strong>OF</strong> PERU. THE ORIGIN<br />

<strong>OF</strong> TRUE EXTRA-LONG STAPLE COTTONS CAN BE TRACED TO THE INTRODUCTION<br />

<strong>OF</strong> SEA ISLAND TO THE U.S. IN 1786 FROM SEED RECEIVED FROM THE BAHAMA<br />

ISLANDS, AN AREA FROM WHICH COLUMBUS IS REPUTED TO HAVE TAKEN SEA<br />

ISLAND SAMPLES TO EUROPE IN 1492. THE G. BARBADENSE COTTON THAT FIRST<br />

APPEARED IN THE U.S. IN 1786, WHERE IT BECAME KNOWN AS SEA ISLAND, HAD<br />

STRIKINGLY DIFFERENT FIBER PROPERTIES FROM THE NATIVE G. BARBADENSE <strong>OF</strong><br />

SOUTH AMERICA.V THE EXACT ORIGIN <strong>OF</strong> SEA ISLAND COTTON IS UNKNOWN, BUT<br />

GENETICISTS SUGGEST THAT THE MOST LOGICAL HYPOTHESIS TO EXPLAIN THE<br />

ELS TYPE WAS THAT IT DEVELOPED BY TRANSGRESSIVE INHERITANCE THROUGH<br />

THE INTROGRESSION <strong>OF</strong> LENGTH GENES FROM OUTSIDE THE SPECIES, POSSIBLY<br />

FROM G. HIRSUTUM.<br />

THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL CROP <strong>OF</strong> SEA ISLAND WAS PRODUCED BY WILLIAM ELLIOTT<br />

ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA IN 1790. ALTHOUGH PRODUCTION <strong>OF</strong><br />

THIS ELS COTTON LATER EXPANDED INTO THE INTERIOR REGIONS <strong>OF</strong> GEORGIA<br />

AND FLORIDA, THE BEST SEA ISLAND COTTONS WERE GROWN ON THE SEA<br />

ISLANDS; JAMES, EDISTO, JOHN AND WADMALAW.VII THE CROP CONTINUED UNTIL<br />

1920, WHEN A SEVERE BOLL WEEVIL INFESTATION HAD MADE IT UNPR<strong>OF</strong>ITABLE.<br />

ATTEMPTS TO REVIVE THE SEA ISLAND INDUSTRY IN THE U.S. IN THE 1930'S FAILED.<br />

THE EVOLUTION <strong>OF</strong> ELS COTTONS BEGAN IN 1825 WHEN SEA ISLAND COTTON WAS<br />

BROUGHT INTO EGYPT AND CROSSED WITH A TREE COTTON NAMED JUMEL. THE<br />

CROSSING <strong>OF</strong> JUMEL AND SEA ISLAND RESULTED IN THE DEVELOPMENT <strong>OF</strong><br />

ASHMOUNI IN ABOUT 1860. THE NEXT SEVERAL EGYPTIAN CULTIVARS WERE<br />

DERIVED EITHER BY SELECTING WITHIN ASHMOUNI OR FROM CROSSES <strong>OF</strong><br />

ASHMOUNI AND SEA ISLAND. THE SUCCESSFUL UTILIZATION <strong>OF</strong> INBREEDING<br />

BETWEEN THE YEARS 1910 AND 1940 LED TO THE GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT <strong>OF</strong><br />

EGYPTIAN COTTONS THAT COULD COMPETE WITH THE QUALITY <strong>OF</strong> SEA ISLAND.VIII<br />

51


(IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE HERE THAT DURING THE DEVELOPMENT <strong>OF</strong> THESE<br />

LATER COTTONS, NO GERMPLASM FROM OUTSIDE EGYPT WAS USED.)<br />

THE FIRST ELS CULTIVAR RELEASED BY THE USDA WAS "YUMA" IN 1908. IT WAS<br />

SELECTED FROM MITAFIFI, AN EGYPTIAN CULTIVAR DEVELOPED IN 1887 FROM A<br />

CROSS <strong>OF</strong> ASHMOUNI AND SEA ISLAND, AND WAS INTRODUCED INTO THE<br />

SOUTHWESTERN U.S. IN ABOUT 1900.IX THE FIRST COMMERCIAL ELS CROP IN THE<br />

U.S. WAS PRODUCED IN 1912 — 375 BALES. BETWEEN 1908 AND 1949, FOUR<br />

ADDITIONAL PIMA VARIETIES WERE DEVELOPED FROM THE EGYPTIAN GERMPLASM<br />

BASE AND RELEASED: "PIMA","SXP", "AMSAK" AND "PIMA 32".<br />

AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME "YUMA" WAS BEING DEVELOPED, THE EGYPTIAN<br />

VARIETY MITAFIFI WAS INTRODUCED INTO PERU.X THE SAME SOURCE<br />

TRACES THE ARRIVAL <strong>OF</strong> AMERICAN PIMA COTTON SEED INTO PERU TO<br />

1923. HOWEVER, A PERUVIAN COTTON INFORMATION SHEET DISTRIBUTED<br />

BY THE JUNTA NACIONAL DEL ALGODON (NATIONAL COTTON ASSOCIATION)<br />

SAYS PERUVIAN PIMA ORIGINATED FROM THE "YUMA" COTTON DEVELOPED<br />

IN SACATON, ARIZONA, AND WAS FIRST GROWN IN PERU IN 1918. DR. CARL<br />

V. FEASTER, A LONGTIME PIMA BREEDER AND GENETICIST, AND KNOWN<br />

AROUND THE WORLD AS THE FATHER <strong>OF</strong> MODERN-DAY PIMA COTTONS,<br />

SAYS HE DOUBTS THE FIRST PERUVIAN PIMAS WERE ACTUALLY YUMA, BUT<br />

MORE THAN LIKELY WERE PIMA, WHICH WAS GROWN IN THE U.S. FROM 1918<br />

- 1941. HE SAID PIMA WAS A SELECTION FROM "YUMA" AND ITS FIBER<br />

CHARACTERISTICS MORE CLOSELY MATCH THOSE <strong>OF</strong> PERUVIAN PIMA'S AT<br />

THE TIME. BY 1930, PIMA PRODUCTION HAD REACHED 28,307 BALES IN PERU,<br />

WHILE THE PRODUCTION <strong>OF</strong> MITAFIFI WAS QUICKLY DIMINISHING, SOON TO<br />

BE ALL BUT EXTINCT.<br />

GOSSYPIUM HIRSUTUM — OR UPLAND COTTON — CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO<br />

FOUR MAJOR TYPES; ACALA, DELTA, PLAINS AND EASTERN.XI ACALA TYPES<br />

IN THE U.S. ARE CONFINED TO IRRIGATED REGIONS IN THE SOUTHWEST AND<br />

FAR WEST. THESE VARIETIES PRODUCE THE LONGEST STAPLE COTTON<br />

AMONG THE DOMESTIC UPLAND STYLES, AND THEIR GROWING SEASONS<br />

MOST CLOSELY RESEMBLE THAT <strong>OF</strong> AMERICAN PIMA VARIETIES. YIELDS IN<br />

THESE AREAS ARE HIGHER THAN THOSE GENERATED FROM UPLAND<br />

COTTON PRODUCED IN SOUTHERN, MID-SOUTH AND EASTERN STATES<br />

BECAUSE <strong>OF</strong> THE LONGER GROWING SEASON, GREATER NUMBER <strong>OF</strong> HOT<br />

DAYS AND CLOSE CONTROL <strong>OF</strong> IRRIGATION. BECAUSE <strong>OF</strong> THE LONGER<br />

GROWING SEASON AND HIGHER YIELDS, HOWEVER, THESE CROPS ARE<br />

MORE EXPENSIVE TO PRODUCE.<br />

COTTON VARIETIES ARE DEVELOPED TO SUIT SPECIFIC GROWING REGIONS<br />

AND THEIR RESPECTIVE ENVIRONMENTAL AND CULTURAL CONDITIONS, WITH<br />

THE OBJECTIVE <strong>OF</strong> MAXIMIZING YIELD POTENTIAL AND IMPROVING FIBER<br />

CHARACTERISTICS. THE SAME APPLIES SOMEWHAT MORE LOOSELY TO THE<br />

52


INDIVIDUAL COTTON SPECIES, WHICH ARE LIMITED TO PIMA (GOSSYPIUM<br />

BARBADENSE) AND UPLAND (GOSSYPIUM HIRSUTUM). THE ONLY OTHER<br />

NATIVE COTTON SPECIES — ASIATIC (GOSSYPIUM ARBOREUM) — IS GROWN<br />

ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY IN SOUTHEAST ASIA.XII<br />

SUPIMA WAS FORMED IN 1954 IN EL PASO, TEXAS. IN ITS EARLY YEARS<br />

SUPIMA WAS PRIMARILY CONCERNED WITH PROMOTION, GOVERNMENT<br />

REGULATIONS AND AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH. IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP PACE<br />

WITH THE EXPANDING INTEREST WORLDWIDE IN ELS COTTON, SUPIMA<br />

BROADENED ITS RESPONSIBILITIES IN 1978 WHEN IT MERGED WITH THE<br />

ARIZONA COTTON PLANTING SEED DISTRIBUTORS, ESSENTIALLY<br />

OVERSEEING THE PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION <strong>OF</strong> ALL CERTIFIED<br />

AMERICAN PIMA PLANTING SEED. HOWEVER, THE DIVISION WAS SOLD TO<br />

DELTA AND PINE LAND COMPANY IN 1993 WHEN COMMERCIAL SEED<br />

COMPANIES HAD ENTERED THE BUSINESS. THE SALE ALSO MARKED THE END<br />

<strong>OF</strong> SUPIMA'S 30-YEAR-OLD PARTNERSHIP WITH THE USDA IN ITS ARIZONA-<br />

BASED PIMA IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. SUPIMA HAD PROVIDED FUNDING FOR<br />

THE PROGRAM DESIGNED TO DEVELOP NEW AND IMPROVED SEED<br />

VARIETIES. REVENUES FROM THE SEED DIVISION ALSO WAS USED TO HELP<br />

FINANCE GINNING RESEARCH AND IMPROVED PRODUCTION PRACTICES.<br />

SUPIMA IS REPRESENTED BY A BOARD <strong>OF</strong> DIRECTORS COMPOSED <strong>OF</strong> 11<br />

PIMA COTTON PRODUCERS: SEVEN FROM CALIFORNIA, TWO FROM TEXAS<br />

AND ONE EACH FROM ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO. DIRECTORS ARE ELECTED<br />

BY THE GENERAL MEMBERSHIP TO THREE-YEAR TERMS AND ARE ELIGIBLE<br />

FOR RE-ELECTION. BOARD <strong>OF</strong>FICERS ARE ELECTED TO TWO-YEAR TERMS BY<br />

THE DIRECTORS AS FOLLOWS; CHAIRMAN, VICE-CHAIRMAN AND SECRETARY-<br />

TREASURER. THE <strong>OF</strong>FICES <strong>OF</strong> PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT<br />

ARE FULL-TIME STAFF POSITIONS. <br />
