The Phyllis

Hip hemp

 

Excellent news! The Phyllis Hemp is made with 100% hemp, a natural fibre that is just as soft as classic cotton. Also like cotton, the material will get softer with each wash (though the process is slightly slower).

 

Hemp is even stronger than cotton, which means your hemp jeans will last longer than the cotton ones. As an added bonus, hemp acts to regulate your temperature - ie, hemp jeans will keep you warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer!

 

Growing hemp is also much better for the environment than growing cotton: hemp only needs about half the amount of water to grow as cotton (and during the processing, hemp uses a quarter of the amount needed for cotton). It is very quick to mature (in only 3 to 4 months it is ready to be turned into fibre), and it is also more yielding than cotton: a single hemp plant gives 220% more fiber than a cotton plant!
