Try your local LQS. For an online source:

As far as it goes, Egyptian cotton is a long staple and is the sturdiest (apparently it's extra long staple), but there are other long staple cottons (ong-staple cotton is any cotton with fibers from 1 1/8" to 2 1/2" long - found on the web), so Egyptian and long staple are not one and the same.
