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 Utility Jacket
The toughest utility jacket ever made, is now fleece-lined and waterproof.
Technical Details
The fibre we’ve used is called Dyneema® Black. It’s so tough it started its life in body armour, anti-ballistic vehicle armour, and extreme strength ropes used to tie down oil rigs in violent, icy seas.
The body of the jacket is lined with ultrasoft fleece
While the outside of the Indestructible Utility Jacket is designed for extreme strength, we’ve designed the inside for extreme comfort. The body is lined with an ultrasoft Polartec fleece that keeps you warm and comfortable in any weather.
Heavy-duty detailing protects you from the elements
The jacket fastens down the middle with six metal buttons with embossed Vollebak detailing, and protected by an external storm flap. At the top and bottom of the jacket you’ll find two heavy-duty metal snaps to secure the collar and hem in place. And in harsh weather you can flip the collar up to protect your neck. The outside of the collar is made from the same high-strength, weatherproof Dyneema® as the rest of the jacket, while the material next to your skin is soft moleskin.
