Lands End doesn't make my favorite sheets anymore and they are worn to shreds. They made them out of the same fabric as their pinpoint cotton shirts and the more I washed them, the softer they got.

I was more going for a "spend the big bucks; they're worth it for sheets" message.
Does LL Bean make similar sheets? Or was it just Lands End? I'm a huge fan of Chambers, even though they don't seem to have the sheets I have that I ADORE any longer. I think the pillowcases may have been a bit narrow for (American?) pillows; maybe they discontinued because of that.
I love bedding.
Edited to add that The Company Store has chambray sheets that the describe as "shirting fabric" --

Chambers also has oxford cloth sheeting -- they don't really have online shopping, just that you can view the catalog. Here's what the catalog has to say, and prices:
This 440-thread-count cotton oxford has a silken hand and luminous color, qualities that have made it one of our most popular collections. The flat sheet and cases are bordered with double-needle stitching and the sham with a single-needle stitch. Imported. Taupe, White, Blue or Gray. swatches available
