- STRONG & DURABLE: Hemp clothing offers three to four times the strength of cotton clothes.
- BIODEGRADABLE: Hemp clothing is 100% organically biodegradable, so it is not the end of the world if you throw it away.
- HIGHLY RENEWABLE: Hemp is a renewable resource that grows quickly. Hemp can be harvested up to three times each year and matures in as little as 120 days. In comparison to cotton, hemp may produce 200-250%more fiber on the same amount of land.
- NO PESTICIDES: One of the most destructive aspects of the lifecycle of cotton and other fabric-based plants is the usage of toxic chemical fertilisers, insecticides, and herbicides. Hemp clothing, like bamboo, does not require any of these synthetic, hazardous chemical agents, which is great for the environment.
- ODOR-RESISTANT: Hemp clothing, unlike cotton, does not retain body odour due to its natural moisture-wicking properties. Hemp clothing is an excellent choice if you want to smell good all day. Hemp cloth is resistant to mildew and mould because of its antibacterial characteristics, and it absorbs moisture.
- ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: The hemp plant does not take up a lot of space to grow and has a high land efficiency—it takes half the land area to produce the same amount of hemp compared to cotton. Hemp is extremely gentle on the earth, returning 60% of the minerals it consumes as it grows (if dried in the field). Hemp has been farmed on the same soil for 20 years without soil depletion as a result of this. Cotton, on the other hand, must be replaced with a different plant every few years or the soil will lack the necessary nutrients.
- SOFT ON SKIN: In terms of softness, hemp clothing provides a good level of comfort. It is just one of those fabrics that, regardless of the thread count, look and feel amazing.
Cotton requires 5,280 gallons of water to produce 2.2 lbs of cotton using today’s agricultural farming practices, which is equivalent to a single t-shirt and a pair of jeans. Hemp, on the other hand, uses 80 gallons of water, the majority of which comes from rainfall, to produce 2 lbs of fiber.
Hemp and cotton are both natural fibers used for textiles, but hemp generally offers superior durability and environmental benefits. While cotton is softer and more readily available, hemp softens with use and offers greater resistance to wear and tear.
