Hemp Clothing FAQ's

This super sustainable fiber goes through the following process to become the durable, antimicrobial (and overall epic) fabric you see in clothes: 1) Planting and growing: Hemp is grown with minimal pesticides, synthetic fertilizers or GMO-seeds, and is predominantly rain-fed, making it a low-maintenance crop. 2) Retting: After harvesting, stems are placed on the ground for several weeks to allow retting. This process separates the fiber from the bark. 3) Decortication: This is the process of removing the central woody core from the stems, either when the stems are wet from retting or after being dried. 4) Lignin removal: Lignin is an organic polymer that makes plants woody. It is responsible for the initial scratchy and rough texture of traditional hemp fiber. To make the more soft on the skin, the lignin is removed. 5) Spinning: Hemp fibers are then spun and twisted together to form long threads which will then be woven into textiles. Think the texture and breathability of linen, but way more eco-friendly. We then blend our hemp with other natural fibers like TENCEL™ Lyocell and organic cotton to make the soft, strong and sustainable fabrics you'll find in our clothes.
After processing, hemp feels pretty similar to cotton. Hemp is an awesome fabric because it's naturally breathable, absorbent (aka wicks moisture), and antimicrobial (aka anti-stank) – and when we blend it with other fabrics like organic cotton and TENCEL™ Lyocell, it's (chef's kiss) soft and easy to wear every day. Over time, wearing and washing hemp clothes makes them even softer. We consider it the fabric gift that keeps on giving.
Yes. In the US (and most countries) processed hemp is legal, as long as it's no longer in plant form. However, this questions comes up a lot because people don't know the difference between hemp and cannabis (but don't worry, we've got you).
Yes. Like the other natural fibers we use in our clothing, hemp is sustainable. It's known as one of the least harmful fabrics because it requires little water and no harsh chemicals to grow and naturally reduces pests so pesticides are not needed. Hemp is also a super-plant in that it decontaminates soil and adds nutrients back in ("phytoremediation" if you like to get technical), so those nutrients can remain underground and continue to benefit the environment. Additionally, hemp is super strong and long-lasting, meaning your hemp clothes will stay in circulation for a long time (and staying out of landfills = key to sustainability).
We recommend checking the care label for specific washing instructions for any item. But in general, hemp clothing can be machine washed in cool water and tumble dried on low (or line dry if you really want the planet to thank you).
Yes, hemp is a natural fiber that has the potential to shrink in hot water or in a hot dryer, which is why we recommend washing and drying on cooler settings. We test out all of our fabrics to make sure that they are within an appropriate shrinkage percentage.
