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.
Indestructible Hooded Jacket
Built with a lightweight fibre that’s 15x stronger than steel.
Technical Details
WHILE THE JACKET IS JUST 1 MILLIMETRE THICK, IT CAN WITHSTAND A 75KMPH FALL AND DRAG ON CONCRETE.
REINFORCED, ARTICULATED CONSTRUCTION
Every critical seam on the jacket has been stitched with double lines of heavy-duty thread which are reinforced with woven tape on the underside. And we’ve constructed articulated three-piece sleeves which work with the material to follow the natural shape of your arms whatever way you stretch.
WOVEN WITH ULTRASTRONG DYNEEMA®, THE INDESTRUCTIBLE HOODED JACKET COMBINES EXTREME STRENGTH WITH EXTREME STRETCH
DYNEEMA® IS TOUGH TO WORK WITH
Working with an ultrastrong material like Dyneema® comes with its own set of challenges. The material is so tough that it’s hard to do basic things with it, like cut it and sew it. On top of that, it tries to resist being woven into a soft, stretchy fabric. So strands of the fibre will always try to break free. As a result you’re likely to find a few imperfections on the surface of the material on each jacket. But this doesn’t affect its toughness.
