Reg. Price: $62.99 Our all natural 100% hemp fisherman's sweaters are handmade right here in the USA.
They will keep you warm on the midnight watch or when you are just hanging out.
These unique sweaters have a finished hem at the hip, rolled sleeves at the wrist and a rolled collar.
Pre-washed and ready to wear.
Universal design means these look great on both men and women.
Due to the unique characteristics of hemp yarn these sweaters have a worn look to them that makes them look like you have had it for years.
Like wool, these feel a little rough at first if you have sensitive skin.
Unlike wool, however, hemp softens up with each washing, so they get more comfortable as they age.
In the elements hemp combines the best characteristics of both wool and cotton.
When the weather gets nasty, hemp sheds water much like wool, keeping you warm longer than cotton ever will.
Unlike wool, however, hemp gets softer and softer with time, so you get that cozy soft cotton feel after just a few washes.
For those of you who are concerned about hemp's reputation as a drug, rest assured you have nothing to worry about.
Neither you or your kids will get high using hemp products. Unlike marijuana, hemp contains only minute (less than 1%) amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. In addition, hemp possesses a high percentage of the compound cannabidiol (CBD), which has been shown to block the effects of THC. For these reasons, many botanists have dubbed industrial hemp "anti-marijuana."
From the strongest rope to the finest lace, hemp is the earth's most versatile fiber.
Hemp is also Nature's longest fiber, which means garments last longer than those made with other fabrics.
Hemp is naturally resistant to damage from salt water, mildew and the sunlight.
Hemp is extremely efficient from an environmental perspective.
Hemp naturally suppresses weeds and enriches the soil it is grown in with nitrogen deposits. Hemp is grown without herbicides or pesticides and pound for pound hemp plants produce 250% more fiber than cotton.
By contrast, non-organic industrial cotton uses more water and more pesticides than any other commercial crop, leaving the soil depleted.
In fact, over one quarter of all agricultural chemicals in the USA are used to grow cotton. The toxic runoff from these chemicals ultimately find their way into our waterways.
The modern non-organic industrial cotton plant has been genetically engineered to the point where it is no longer a natural fiber, but rather a plant that is designed to withstand the strains of the chemical pesticides sprayed on it.
Think about that the next time you buy non-organic cotton.

So why should you spend the extra money to buy organic cotton? Without trying to sound too preachy, the following statistics can be summed up in a few words - Because it's the right thing to do.
For those who want the facts-
The fabric of our lives, or the fabrication of lies?
Perhaps more than any other agricultural product, short-staple upland cotton (which accounts for 97% of USA cotton production) is the number one charlatan of our era.
Enormous sums of money have been spent on advertising and promotion to convince us that cotton is this wonderful, natural product that we all should support and purchase.
Next to corn, cotton is the largest agricultural product in the United States.
The USA grows approximately 14 million acres of cotton, accounting for nearly 20% of the world’s supply. The tremendous expansion of cotton production in the past dew decades has been accompanied by a proportionate increase in ecological damage, social deterioration and government malfeasance. Here are a few things to remember the next time you slip on one of your favorite cotton shirts -
Each year, nearly $2.6 billion worth of pesticides are applied to cotton fields worldwide, with approximately 35% of the total ending up on USA fields. In 2000, farmers in the main USA cotton growing states used over 75 million pounds of pesticides.
These figures are easily "slipped under the radar" due to the misconception that cotton is not a food, so people are relatively unconcerned by this massive chemical use.
The fact is that cotton is an important food product. In the USA alone, nearly 7 million pounds of cotton seed a year is used for cattle feed, both meat and dairy, as well as for the cottonseed oil commonly used in margarine, cookies, chips and other processed foods. As we ingest the products related to cotton in large quantities, there is a natural concern for our health and the health of future generations.
The unified cotton industry represents a $60 billion a year sector of our economy. It doesn’t take much of an imagination to realize the power the National Cotton Council wields in Washington. So far, seed and chemical companies have not been held responsible for damage caused by chemical runoff, water poisoning, gene transfer and other forms of pollution, potentially saving them billions of dollars.
The U.S. government’s cotton subsidy program (established in the 1930's) creates huge economic benefits for industrial cotton growers in the form of contract payments and non-recourse government and banking loans. Who pays for all of this? You guessed it: the U.S. General Accounting Office estimates the American taxpayer pays out approximately $1.1 billion a year; and the cost is going up.
We could go on educating you about the state of the cotton industry, but since you’re online, you can do some research and find out the truth about cotton for yourself.
Besides, you’re here to buy our organic cotton shirts. Thank you for reading this far and hopefully you will begin to become the difference and help us turn the tide of this horrible tragedy of industrial agriculture.
| | Reg. Price: $13.99 If you haven't tried bamboo fabric yet you are really missing out. Like our t-shirts and other bamboo items, these watch caps are the softest fabric we have ever dealt with.
Perfect for keeping you warm when it gets a little cool, or if you just want a unique hat that feels great.
Whatever the reason, you won't be sorry when you buy one of these hats.
For those of you curious about bamboo here are some facts about our caps.
Why Use Bamboo?
Bamboo fiber is the new innovation in textile fibers with remarkable characteristics:
Soft & Silky
Bamboo fiber is softer than the softest cotton, has a natural sheen to the surface and feels similar to silk or cashmere.
Naturally Anti-Bacterial & Odor Free
Unlike other anti-microbial fabrics, which require a chemical treatment, bamboo fiber clothing is naturally odor-resistant and requires no harmful chemicals. It contains a natural agent, "bamboo kun", that prevents bacteria from cultivating on it.
Breathable & Cool
Bamboo apparel is comfortable, thermal regulating and will keep you cooler, drier, warmer and odor free.
Fast-drying
Like the synthetics, bamboo fabric dries quickly. Unlike the synthetics, bamboo does no harm.
Safe & Hypolallergenic
For those with sensitive skin or chemical allergies bamboo is the perfect fabric since it is not treated with any toxic compounds.
Natural & Eco-Friendly
Bamboo is one of the world's most prolific and fastest-growing plants. Typically bamboo is able to reach maturity in about four years, compared to the typical 25 to 70 years for commercial tree species in the U.S. Though most people are generally familiar with this beautiful and graceful plant, the average person is usually astounded when learning that there are more than 1000 documented uses of bamboo.
Bamboo is one of nature's most sustainable resource, it is grown without pesticides or chemicals, it is 100% biodegradeable, and naturally regenerative. Bamboo is actually a tropical grass, with an extensive root system that sends out an average of four to six new shoots per year, naturally replenishing itself and growing to heights of 60 feet or more. Some bamboo species grow up to 4 feet per day and can be harvested every 3 to 4 years.
In Asia, bamboo has been used in the traditional hand-made production of paper for centuries. Now, through modern manufacturing processes, bamboo pulp is capable of producing bamboo fiber for use in yarn and fabric. Certain species of bamboo have the tensile strength equivalent to that of steel.
The bamboo used in our watch caps was planted and grown on family-owned farms that have been in agricultural use for generations.
None of the fiber comes from tropical forests.
Made in a sweatshop-free facility in the Unites States of America.
The quality of our fabrics and workmanship is superior in every way.
These watch caps are 95% bamboo and 5% lycra.
Available in either Black, Green, Natural, or Blue.
