When people think of hemp, there is always a natural association with marijuana. And why wouldn't there be? Yes, after all, even the pioneers of hemp-based textiles found themselves caught up in cannabis culture. Who can forget Woody Harrelson wearing an all-hemp suit at the 1997 Golden Globes? As Mr.Harrelson transformed elegance into comfort, he was able to illustrate the benefits of hemp that go beyond the limits of the red carpet.
We bring you some examples of what makes hemp a star material for clothing.
Sustainability
In a world where our carbon footprint has never been stronger, hemp has proven to limit our environmental impact. Hemp is one of the plants with the greatest capacity to absorb CO 2, and when compared to cotton, it is 4 times stronger and uses 20 times less water for its growth and production. Thanks to its low dependence on water and little need for strong irrigation systems, it is inevitably generating significant savings to the planet's water source.
Efficient cultivation
Simply put, hemp is tough, both as a plant and as a fiber. It can grow in almost any type of soil, allowing growers to grow multiple cycles of hemp on the same soil. Adding to the fact that hemp is resistant to pests and does not need fertilizers. It's no secret why hemp is every grower's dream.
Comfort
Clothing made with hemp fibers breathe well, allowing your skin to feel cool when it's hot and feel warm when it's cold, all while absorbing sweat and preventing odor-causing bacteria. It also has the ability to mold to your body shape and becomes softer after each wash, unlike other materials.
These days, fashion has an emphasis on mass production and disposable materials, but that doesn't have to be the norm. If you are using STARDOG organic hemp to help the environment, maximize the productive cycle of your clothes or always feel comfortable; It comes down to the same result. You are living in the present. Recognize the need to be comfortable and have style. You are sustainable. And that never goes out of style.
