    It's not a fabric, it's an expression. "In tall cotton or high cotton" meaning you don't have to stoop over as far to pick it.

    I'm not sure what the description is, but I have ordered it from Marshall Dry Goods and used it in quilts, Works for me.

    Walking in tall cotton is a phrase, meaning you're fortunate because your crop has come in well and you don't have to bend over to pick it. However, Tall Cotton LLC is a manufacturer of broadcloth in St. Louis, and that brand is carried by Marshall Dry Goods. Make sense?

    By the way, it would be a great name for a quilt shop.

    Where do I find out more about this firm? I Googled Tall Cotton LLC to find it to be a construction management firm. I am bewildered.
