Cottons come in a number of varieties. It includes some of the varieties which are famous all over the world. One of the first cottons was introduced in the world was Mexican Cotton which came from the southeastern portion of Untied States. Then Cheatem cotton was introduced which became more popular than the Mexican cotton. As the industry increased, the number and variety of cotton clothes increased.

Among all Swiss and Egyptian cottons are still the most popular variety of cotton appreciated and worn world over.

Out of these blended cottons, a variety of Men's shirts and are made. These cotton shirts are generally classified as Athletic, Regular and Full wear. Then a broad classification is made; this is design based; that's the cut of collar, cuff, pockets, fiber and weaves.

Collars are generally classified as Straight point, button down, spread, tab, club and pinned. Cuffs are classified as barrel, French or double and convertible. Pockets too define the kind of shirt is.

Fibers too define the kind of shirt you are wearing. See the panel ? if it is pure cotton, it means the cloth will be most comfortable in Indian Summers; a blended cotton shirt means the cotton is a mix of some other fiber, making it a little hotter than the simple cotton wear and if it's a linen then it's the finest weave of cotton making it wrinkle easily. Linen is best for summers as it's the coolest even in the hottest summers but it does require a lot of ironing.
