Question 1

How does Percale Vintage Washed compare to Percale?

Accepted Answer

Percale has a crisp, cool feel with a structured, hotel-style finish. Percale Vintage Washed is made with the same cooling Percale weave, but is finished with our two-step garment wash to create a softer, more relaxed feel and a subtly lived-in look from the very first night.

Question 2

Do Percale Vintage Washed sheets sleep hot?

Accepted Answer

No. Our Percale Vintage Washed fabric is made from 100% organic cotton in a naturally cooling Percale weave, which is refreshing to the touch and allows air to circulate freely. The vintage wash process softens the fabric for a relaxed, lived-in softness, while still maintaining the crisp, breathable qualities Percale is known for.

Question 3

What is the thread count of Boll & Branch Percale Vintage Washed sheets?

Accepted Answer

Boll & Branch Percale Vintage Washed sheets have a 180 thread count. Thread count measures the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric, but it does not reflect fiber quality or construction. Our Percale Vintage Washed sheets are woven from long-staple organic cotton using a 2-ply construction, making them stronger and more durable than most percales on the market, with the cool, crisp feel percale is known for.

Question 4

Is 180 thread count good for percale sheets?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially for percale. Percale sheets naturally have a lower thread count than sateen styles, and our 2-ply construction means two yarns are twisted together before weaving, adding strength that single-ply sheets at higher thread counts simply can't match. The result is a percale that's cool, crisp, and built to last.

Question 5

Is a higher thread count always better?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Thread count measures the number of threads per square inch, but it does not account for fiber length, quality, or construction. A 2-ply percale woven from long-staple organic cotton can outperform a higher thread count sheet made with single-ply, shorter fibers. Boll & Branch focuses on premium organic cotton and expert craftsmanship to deliver lasting comfort and durability.

Question 6

Do Boll & Branch organic cotton sheets wrinkle?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because our sheets are made with 100% organic cotton and are never treated with wrinkle-resistant chemicals, light wrinkling is completely normal. It is a natural characteristic of pure, breathable cotton.
To help minimize wrinkles:
Shake sheets out before drying
Remove promptly and smooth by hand while slightly damp
Lightly mist with water to help the fibers relax
No coatings. No shortcuts. Just beautifully made sheets that soften and relax over time.
