‘’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 />

SUPIMA IS MADE WITH 100% AMERICAN PIMA<br />
COTTON.<br />
SUPIMA IS MADE EXCLUSIVELY <strong>OF</strong> EXTRA-LONG STAPLE<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 />
