Clothing made of hemp

Fabrics / clothing made of hemp


Hemp fabrics are particularly breathable and feel very light on the skin.

Hemp fibers have a cooling effect in summer and a warming effect in winter, and they dry three times faster than cotton.


Did you know that hemp fibers absorb significantly more UV radiation than cotton or linen?


Textiles made from hemp are naturally antibacterial and hemp does not require any pesticides during cultivation. Hemp fabrics are therefore particularly suitable for sensitive skin and neurodermatitis.

Hemp fabric is extremely durable, so you can only benefit from your hemp. Hemp fibers are about 8 x more robust and

4 x more durable than cotton fibers. The iron can also stay in the cupboard: the fabric hardly wrinkles!

Even the first Levis jeans were made from hemp denim. Levis invented jeans as work trousers for Californian gold panners and sewed them from pure hemp cloth. He knew that only a fabric made from hemp could withstand constant moisture without wearing out.


Backpacks made of hemp have a long tradition - especially in Speyer as a city on the Rhine:

Sea bags in the 17th century were already made from hemp fibers, as were the sails and ropes of ships and the clothing of sailors. Alongside flax, hemp was the most common textile fiber in the world until the middle of the 19th century and Speyer was one of the most important trading centers for hemp.


Hemp grows extremely quickly and produces more fiber per hectare than any other plant.

Up to 250% more fibre mass than cotton on the same cultivation area!

Popular Mechanics published an article in its February 1938 issue entitled “Billion Dollar Crop”

The fact that hemp can be used in so many different ways and literally thousands of different products can be made from it (including textiles, paper, paints and varnishes, chipboard and MDF boards, cellulose plastics, rope, biofuel, all kinds of food, furniture, personal care products, and much more) contributes to hemp's huge value as a CASH CROP for all countries that allow its cultivation.
