At Red Land Cotton, we’ve always believed the simplest things are often the most enduring. A ticking stripe print is one of those things. What began as a hardworking fabric used in everyday life has found its way into bedrooms, kitchens, and living spaces across the country—still just as reliable, still just as beautiful.

As Southern farmers, we feel a deep connection to the fabrics that tell America’s story. Our seasonless Ticking Stripe print has long been woven into that story, and today, it continues to bring a sense of timelessness and quiet sophistication to the home.

A Humble Beginning

The ticking stripe pattern traces its roots to the 19th century, when it was first used in practical ways, most often for mattress covers and pillows. The tightly woven cotton offered durability and protection, while the striped pattern helped disguise everyday wear. It was built for use, not show. But as often happens with truly functional things, its charm slowly began to shine through.

Back then, homes were furnished with care and intention. Fabric wasn’t just decorative—it worked hard. Ticking stripe fits that mindset perfectly. And while today we may not be stuffing hay into ticking-covered mattresses, the pattern still brings a grounded, honest character to the spaces we live in.

A Pattern That Endures

So why does the ticking stripe continue to resonate today? We believe it’s the simplicity. The narrow, evenly spaced stripes create a sense of balance, subtle enough to blend in, but distinct enough to stand out. Whether you’re drawn to traditional Southern style or lean toward a more modern aesthetic, ticking stripe fits in without overpowering the room.

There’s also a story in the pattern. It speaks of heritage, of materials that served a purpose and stood the test of time. When we look at a ticking stripe, we don’t just see lines—we see history. And bringing that history into our homes makes them feel more lived-in, more real.

Comfort Rooted in Cotton

At Red Land Cotton, every piece of fabric we make starts with the same foundation: 100% cotton, grown right here in America. 

Cotton matters—not just for how it feels, but for how it supports your health and comfort. It breathes better than synthetic materials, wicks moisture naturally, and is gentle on your skin. It helps regulate temperature, so you sleep cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. That’s the kind of comfort you can feel night after night.

Choosing American-Made

In a world of mass production from overseas, we stand for something different. We believe in American-made products. In supporting local jobs, family farms, and domestic craftsmanship. When you buy from Red Land Cotton, you’re buying something real—something that’s been grown, spun, and stitched with intention.

Our ticking stripe products are a perfect example of that commitment. Whether it's a cozy blanket, a crisp sheet set, or a thoughtfully crafted apron, each piece is made with heritage, quality, and care in mind.
