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 Sweater
Lightweight, thermoregulating, and built with zero seams.
Technical Details
Every sweater is 3D knitted from a single thread of ultrasoft cashmere and high-performance Merino.
What the sweater feels like
The sweater is incredibly smooth and soft against your skin, so won’t scratch you or itch like wool sweaters can. The softness and seamless construction mean you can wear it on its own if you’re looking to go fast and light. Or it works great as a layering piece during colder months. Merino and cashmere are also naturally elastic so it’s not going to create any resistance.
The Planet Earth Sweater is thermoregulating, breathable, elastic, naturally water repellent, fast drying, and crease resistant.
Incredibly soft, fine, lightweight, and built with zero seams, the Planet Earth Sweater is made for travelling anywhere.
The outside of every Merino fibre is covered in a naturally water repellent wax coating.
