Hemp is one of the oldest and strongest natural fibers. The hemp fiber is harvested from the large annual plant Cannabis Sativa. This industrial hemp has negligible alkaloid content and therefore cannot be used to make “marijuana” or any other drug.
Hemp enables sustainability and prevents erosion on the farmed land. Hemp is resistant to insects, making pesticides unnecessary for cultivation and hemp grows so vigorously that no fertilizer is needed. Hemp produces at least three times more fiber per acre than cotton plants and produces the most per acre of any other fiber source.
The breathable, porous nature of hemp allows trapped air to be warmed by the body, making these garments naturally warmer in colder weather. Yet its breath ability also allows hemp fabrics to be very comfortable during hot summers. Hemp's UV light and mold resistance makes it a very durable fabric.
