It seems pretty easy to buy t-shirts made from organic cottons. I used to be a big fan of fleece made from recycled polyester, but I’m rethinking that. There’s not nearly enough “business wear” in organic or eco-friendly clothing, or even jeans for that matter. But the more we demand, the more likely we are to get it. That’s the power of the purse, right?

Not only does it benefit the economy, but the clothes just seem to be soft and more comfortable.

Hemp is a good alternative for fabric, but I didn’t realized that there were multiple ways to process it. It is not surprising that we don’t grow it more in America, with the stigma that it is related to marijuana.
Hemp is not always that most comfortable fabric but at harmonyyogapants.com we have do offer a hemp yoga pant that can be worn all day and with its grippy texture is perfect for Acro yoga and rock climbing.

You are right most people associate hemp with marijuana, but hemp has so many good qualities that make it more eco friendly than cotton. It takes less water to grow, it’s durable, no pesticides or fertilizers needed. Thanks for spreading the word!

One drawback of many hemp fabrics is their tendency to have a somewhat scratchy texture and a firm hand that doesn’t drape well when used in clothing. Here at Sympatico we create our womens wear from a 65%/35% hemp/Tencel blend which offers a nice drape and soft hand. As noted in your earlier article, Tencel is sustainably produced in a closed loop system, making it an environmentally sensitive option when addressing hemp’s biggest downside from a fashion standpoint.
