We make these trousers in our studio using a plain weave hemp fabric (220g/m2 - 6.7oz/yd2) that was grown, spun and woven in Europe.
Hemp doesn't need chemicals or pesticides to grow, uses less water than other fibres and cleans the soil. This unbleached and undyed raw fabric is woven on old machines, which gives it a rustic texture.
We hand dyed this garment by first giving it a bath in catechu (extracted from an Indian acacia tree), then dipping it in iron water, to finally get this chocolate brown shade. Unlike synthetic dyes, natural and organic plant based dyes don't have any harmful chemicals that are toxic for your skin or for the environment.
Sewn on a vintage machine with unbleached cotton thread, this garment is fully compostable. The elastic waistband is made of natural rubber and you can find hand stitched details on the pockets.
