Hemp Fabric Care
Hemp Fabric Care
Hemp will take good care of you, especially if you take good care of it. Below are some suggested tips for taking the best care of your hemp.
HEMP + ORGANIC COTTON BLENDS:
- Machine wash cool, gentle with like colors.
- Tumble dry, low heat.
- Do not use spot laundry cleaners, bleach or other chemical and enzyme cleaners like oxi-clean.
- Take care not to wash with garments with zippers or velcro or towels with texture as this will cause abrasion and pilling.
See more hemp fabric care tips here.
HEMP + WOOL BLENDS:
- Follow the same instructions as above for Hemp + Organic Cotton blends, but be extra careful to only tumble dry on very cool settings. Laying flat to dry is the best way to maintain integrity of wool fibers.

Why Hemp
Why Hemp
Hemp is a naturally strong, durable fiber, which is why we use it to make clothing you'll wear for years. It's also a remarkable crop: in the right conditions, it grows with relatively little irrigation and fewer chemical inputs than cotton.
The facts:
-
Stronger fiber than cotton. In a peer-reviewed comparison, hemp fibers measured 310–850 MPa in tensile strength, compared with 287–597 MPa for cotton. [BioResources, NC State University]
-
Resists pilling and wear. In 2025 lab testing of woven bast-fiber fabrics, hemp earned the highest pilling-resistance rating of the fabrics tested, holding up across repeated wear cycles. [Fibres & Textiles in Eastern Europe, 2025]
-
Uses less water. Hemp uses about 38% less water than cotton over a growing season, and its water footprint is roughly 60% lower. [Journal of Agrometeorology, 2023; Journal of Cannabis Research, 2025]
-
Needs fewer pesticides than cotton. Cotton is one of the most pesticide-intensive US field crops, with 42 million pounds applied across 10.3 million acres in 2021. Hemp is typically grown with substantially less pesticide input. [USDA data via Organic Trade Association]
-
Captures carbon as it grows. Published estimates put hemp's CO₂ uptake at roughly 3–15 tonnes per hectare during cultivation. At the higher end, that outpaces the 2–6 tonnes per hectare per year typical of forests. [Portland State University review; University of Cambridge research]
-
Can help clean soil. Hemp roots can absorb low levels of heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, and zinc from soil. This process is called phytoremediation. [Portland State University review]

Reviews
Perfect summer short
"I returned these shorts after my first order and instantly regretted it. I now own 3, and love how they are breezy and lightweight. I usually wear a small in most brands, but wear this short in a medium because the waist is tighter and I'm mid 40s. My hips would fit better in a small for a less oversized look. They feel very durable."
Don’t wait
"I was eyeing these for most of the summer before I bought them and regret not doing it months ago! The fabric is clearly thick and high quality"
Quality shorts
"Great shorts but sized up one for a more comfortable waistband. Also, the white is more cream than true white."
Unflattering if you have a little pooch
"Unflattering, had to send it back. It gave me a bit of a fupa where other shorts do not lol. Also the way it creases/wrinkles after sitting is unflattering."
Sturdy and soft
"I nearly returned these because they felt a little poofy at the waistline, but glad I didn't. They're really comfortable and great quality, as usual for this brand. I like how sturdy they are. Having my phone in my pocket doesn't feel like it's going to pull them down or anything."
Awesome quality and fit- the
"Awesome quality and fit- the textured fabric is wonderful and comfy. They arrived looking lived in and soft- didn’t have to break them in like some hemp or linen pieces. highly recommend and worth the money."
Love these!
"High quality and comfy!"
"I really wanted a pair of these, unfortunately they ran small and they were sold out of larger sizes. I'll just have to keep an eye out for when they're back in stock."
Replacing my synthetic fiber shorts with these
"I will be wearing these to death this summer. They’re a perfect fit, flattering, comfortable, and high quality. I love the length on me - not too short, not too long. I do have long legs. I got the olive green color in size small. For reference I’m 5’6” and 127 lbs. Waist is 28” and hips are 37. ” I hope that helps."
