Do you think you have to be on the fringe, a beatnik or hipster to wear Hemp Clothes? Not at all! In fact, celebrities and everyday folk, even grand parents are adding hemp fashions to their wardrobe because it makes a huge difference to the environment.

We all love “the look, the feel of cotton”, but did you know that most of the world’s pesticides and insecticides are used in the growing of cotton fields? Though cotton looks and feels good, it’s vast production is unfortunately damaging our earth.

Hemp Clothes, on the other hand, do good things for our earth. First of all, hemp is grown naturally and produces the highest yield per acre than any other fiber crop.  It grows well without chemicals, helps replenish the soil so the land it grows on will be safer and healthier for everyone.

Wearing Hemp Fashion carries a purpose that goes so beyond the ‘green’ trend.  Hemp clothes are versatile, appropriate for any activity being so comfortable, look great, wear well then  perfectly biodegradable in the end of  many years of service. People have been wearing hemp patterns for yoga and other demanding physical activities for years because the fibers are porous allowing you to perspire, and it’s antimicrobial nature reduces odor problems.

Hemp washes up well and hemp clothes mostly get stronger yet softer when laundered.  Because of it’s porous fiber hemp absorbs dyes so well and is extremely colorfast.

In many ways, Hemp Fabrics create a perfect balance for our clothing needs.

Hemp clothing is environmentally-friendly, colorful, comfortable, affordable and looks great no matter how many times you wash them.  It’s inspiring how many hemp clothing and accessory items we can find in our local boutiques or major department stores now. From pants, t-shirts, eveningwear, formalwear such as wedding dresses and suits, underwear, fine dining linens, equestrian wear and even shoes, hemp is a great fabric to use.
