Raw Hemp Sweatshirt
It goes from plant to sweatshirt in the fewest steps possible.
- The sweatshirt is left in its raw, undyed state
- Built with 55% hemp
- Hemp combined with organic cotton for softness
Hemp has been banned by governments, had war declared against it, and been accused of bringing down modern society. But the truth is hemp is one of the most extraordinary plants on Earth. With 4x the durability and 8x the tensile strength of cotton, the Egyptians used it to haul rocks around when they were building the pyramids, and Chinese warlords built their armour from it. Christopher Columbus’s voyage to the New World in 1492 was made possible thanks to the strength of his hemp sails.
From an environmental perspective every tonne of hemp produced removes 1.6 tonnes of CO2 from the air. It requires zero pesticides and very little water to cultivate. And it’s so smart scientists now use it to clean up soil, water and air contaminated with radioactive isotopes after nuclear meltdowns.
As for clothing, the plant’s fibres grow to over 4 metres which makes them incredibly soft yet really strong. It’s breathable, water repellent, antibacterial, UV resistant and biodegradable. So we’re now going back to building clothes out of it in its raw and undyed state.
Planet Earth Lightweight Field Jacket
A jacket that looks like you stole it off the back of Indiana Jones.
Technical Details
Made with a custom dyeing process that makes each jacket look like it’s stepped off a film set, no two jackets are the same.
Engineered for comfort and utility
A great field jacket needs two things – comfort and utility. So we set out to create a jacket that retains the DNA of the original M-65, while looking and feeling like a jacket you’ll want to throw on every single day. Lightweight, soft and durable with a beautifully faded look, each one is assembled with high-spec metal components, seams that are reinforced with strong herringbone tape, and seven ultra-practical pockets designed for adventure. It’s what allows the jacket to blend in anywhere.
The utilitarian design includes two huge bellows pockets, heavy-duty metal hardware, and reinforced seams for durability.
Designed to look and feel lived in from day one
Our goal was to build a jacket that looks and feels ready to travel anywhere from the moment you get it. So we headed to northern Italy – the birthplace of modern garment dyeing – to work with a partner that specialises in creating complex colours in exceptional fabrics. Here it took months of experimentation to develop and refine the multi-step process which creates the jacket’s unique look and feel.
Lightweight, durable, and built with custom dyes and high spec metal components, it’s a jacket that looks like it’s truly lived.
Made with a custom dyeing process
We start with a green military fabric which we cut, sew and construct into jackets. The jackets are coloured again as we submerge them in a sand-coloured dye, blending the two colours to lighten the green. Finally they’re lightly stone-washed to create a patina around the seams and metal components. This process gives every jacket its own distinctive visual texture that means no two jackets will ever be the same.
The more adventures you take it on, the more it will mould to your body and develop its own unique fade patterns.
Durable detailing throughout
The jacket fastens down the centre with a heavy-duty metal zipper protected by a storm flap that closes with metal press studs. The cuffs tighten around your wrists with the same metal snaps and two tightness settings to choose from. And we’ve reinforced the critical seams inside the jacket with strong herringbone tape.
