We make this short sleeve shirt in our studio using a plain weave hemp fabric (220g/m2 - 6.7oz/yd2) that was grown, spun and woven in eastern 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.
Sewn on a vintage machine with unbleached cotton thread, this garment is fully compostable, the buttons are made of seashells and you can find hand stitched details on the chest pocket and the label.
To build up the right tone of blue we dye this shirt several times in our homegrown organic indigo vat. Natural indigo has antibacterial properties and is gentle when worn against the skin.
