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.
Alien Hoodie
A cross between an isolation tank and a bed, it’s the ultimate relaxation hoodie for humans too.
Technical Details
A cross between an isolation tank and a bed, the Alien Hoodie is also suitable for humans who need a break.
The visor is padded and see-through
We designed the hoodie to work when you need to switch off in confined environments, like planes or anti-gravity craft. So the visor is built with something called a ‘spacer mesh’ – a padded, double-layered, porous material that lets air and moisture flow in and out really easily, so it doesn’t cook you.
Zipping up the hood on a long-haul flight is like hanging up a Do Not Disturb sign. You’re going to get left alone.
Half isolation tank, half bed
To build the ultimate comfort hoodie we left normal clothing factories behind and turned to the technology traditionally found in Scandinavian mattresses. Built by the same machines that build beds, the Alien Hoodie is a highly cushioned, portable isolation tank that not only shields you from the world, but also helps you feel like you’ve stayed in bed.
Built by the machines that build beds, the Alien Hoodie is the closest you’re going to get to lying in your own bed 24/7.
The Alien Hoodie is a double-layered, weighted, 3D-knitted hoodie created out of multi-dimensional fabric, and unlike anything on Earth.
Pockets on the outside and the inside
You’ll find two large, zipped pockets on the outside of the Alien Hoodie. These are lined, just like the rest of the hoodie. You’ll also find two more pockets on each side of the inside of the hoodie, and we’ve kept these ones open for easy access.
For any interested aliens, we’re willing to accept faster-than-light-speed craft or anti-gravity technology in exchange for the hoodie.
The hoodie recreates the polar dunes of Mars
On May 29, 2018, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter photographed Mars’ Corduroy Dunes in stunning detail for the first time. Part of a giant ring of sand dune fields that surround Mars’ North Pole, it’s a landscape so surreal, and so alien, you’d expect to see the cast of Dune flying over in an Ornithopter if you hung out there long enough.
