Looking back, I fondly remember a free-spirited traveller peddling hemp garments from a pop-up market stall on Upper Gardener Street in Brighton.

The items resembled rope sacks, rough and unrefined.

Engaging with his banter, I grew fascinated by hemp’s performance properties, which can keep you warm or cool as needed.

I loved the idea that one could wear the same garment weight all year round.

This stuck with me.

Later, I found out more about its benefits:

– Moisture-Wicking: Keeps you dry and comfortable.
– Durability: Stands the test of time.
– Breathability: Offers unmatched comfort.
– Resistance: Fights against mould, mildew, and UV damage.
– Antibacterial: Stays fresh longer.


I’m eager to see how this works out.


A quick note about the fabric I am exploring:

The material is a 160 gr/m2 blend of 76% Organic Cotton and 24% Hemp, featuring a water-based digital print.
