I believe that if you are comparing 100% cotton threads and the number is followed by "wt" as in 60wt, then you should be safe that different brands will be comparable and that the higher the number the finer the thread. I know that some threads are labeled No. 50 or #50 and this is not the same as 50 wt. Then there's tex. I have seen this used, but don't have a clue!
All the brands I have seem to use the "wt" index.
