Your Personalized Guide to Hemp Clothing

First things first, no, you can’t smoke hemp clothing. With that out of the way, here’s everything you wanted to know about hemp clothing, but you had no one to ask. Hemp is one of the oldest and ergonomic materials known to man. In fact, according to Columbia History of the World, the oldest relics of human industry are hemp fabrics. Of course, they couldn’t find blunts dating back to 8, 000 B.C. But all jokes aside, hemp is one of the most durable fabrics, as one of the toughest material Mother Nature has given us. Apart from being as strong as, well, hemp, the material also maintains its shape due to its low ability to elongate. Few other natural fibers can hold a candle to hemp. So what does that mean? Hemp makes for some awesome wearable. Too bad you can’t smoke it, though.

Levi Strauss fabricated the first pair of jeans made with hemp using it like a duck canvas. Since then, it has been used to make almost any piece of clothing out there. The material allows the body to breathe, making it suitable for undergarments, socks, trousers, shirts and just about anything in between. That means you can have an entire functional wardrobe of hemp clothes. You have your winter hemp clothing because of its excellent insulation, as well as your summer hemp gear dues to its aeration qualities. As an added plus, hemp clothing is bio-degradable, so you don’t have to worry about polluting the environment when you finally decide to dump it for a new version. Again, bio-degradable doesn’t mean rolling the piece of clothing into a giant joint. For the ladies, there are various hemp clothing to choose from. The dresses especially are to die for. They can be worn with heels, boots, over your yoga pants, and just about anywhere without compromising your look.

The best thing about hemp is its naturality. If your skin reacts with synthetic materials, hemp gives you the freedom to wear what you want, any time you want without compromising on comfort.
