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. 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 mildew and UV light. Hemp sometimes feels a little rough at first, but it becomes softer every time you wash it as the fibers relax. Hemp is extremely efficient from an environmental perspective. Hemp naturally suppresses weeds and enriches the soil it grows in with nitrogen deposits. Hemp is grown without herbicides or pesticides and pound for pound hemp plants produce 250% more fiber than cotton. As soft and comfy as cotton is, the cultivation of non-organic cotton is a toxic nightmare. Over one quarter of all the pesticides used in modern agriculture are applied to the modern cotton plant. This stuff contains some of the nastiest compounds known to man, including cyanide. Of the nine major pesticides used on cotton five are proven cancer-causing chemicals and all nine are classified by the EPA as type 1 and 2 - the most dangerous listing possible. After so many years of growing in these toxins the modern 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 stand up to the strains of the pesticides sprayed on it. In addition to the obvious harm done to the environment by the cultivation of non-organic cotton, numerous questions remain unanswered about how this chemical laced fabric affects the human body. We do not pretend to be experts on the science of this potential problem, however, common sense suggests that there might be something unhealthy about having your skin constantly touching non-organic cotton. Treat yourself and treat the Planet with one of our hemp / organic cotton hoodies. Responsibly made in a Fair Labor facility in China. Our manufacturer employs a rigorous screening and inspection process to ensure these garments are made in a humane, child-labor-free, sustainable facility. You May Also Like...
