A Brand New All-American Fabric

Hemp.Style is designing the first all-new fabric from American hemp fiber in over 100 years! We will lead the rediscovery of hemp and the reinvigoration of America’s textile industry by becoming the world's foremost grown and made in the USA fine hemp apparel brand. 

Why Hemp?

Let me see... its strength, durability, history, it's carbon-negative, breathable, comfortable, sustainable, UV protecting, fashionable, plus we love US farmers, textile manufactures and workers.

15 More Reasons For Hemp Fabric

Hemp Fabric’s Unique Attributes

  1. Antibacterial – blocks mold & mildew. Great if you sweat a lot or have sensitive skin. 
  2. Blocks odors - save time and energy by washing your clothes less often (because they don’t smell)
  3. Hypo-allergenic – great for sensitive skin.
  4. Blocks UV rays – great for skin.
  5. Hemp fibers don’t weaken after washes. Instead they get softer - making hemp fabric more comfortable.
  6. Hyper breathable and wicks away moisture – great for humid or sweaty days.
  7. Hemp retains its color and shape better than other natural fibers – so you can keep your favorite hemp garments for longer.  

Environmental Benefits

  1. Hemp can be grown without pesticides and chemicals – great for your skin and the planet.
  2. Hemp is a sustainable crop that can be grown almost anywhere. It grows quickly and uses only 1/20th the amount of water that cotton uses.
  3. Hemp is durable - 4x stronger than cotton.  It lasts longer.
  4. Adapts to weather – keeps you cool in the summer, but warmer in the winter.
  5. Hemp is a carbon negative crop, it absorbs CO2 from the air. This means it helps Mother Earth and cleans the air we breathe.

Economic Value

  1. American farmers will benefit from an additional crop that uses less water and pesticides, replenishes topsoil and has a short growing season that can be rotated with their usual crops.
  2. American textile manufactures will benefit from increased demand for American made hemp clothing.
  3. American workers will benefit up and down the supply chain, from farm and textile workers to assemblers to retail employees.

Colorado designed, manufactured & finished

Hemp.Style is committed to locally sourced labor and materials. Our garments are designed in coordination with Loopy Designs in Denver. Although the fabric will be sourced from North Carolina, all of the assembly, embroidery, finishing and packaging will be done locally.

North Carolina grown, processed and woven

Grown from seed to long hemp stalk, the fiber is retted away and degummed. This it is spun into yarn which is woven into fabric. Each step has to be reinvented to suit hemp fiber, and you get to help! Hemp.Style is custom designing a completely new All-American fabric specifically made for our hoodies & sweatpants.

Our Supply Chain... Grown & Made in the USA, with YOUR Help!

  • Seed

    This first step is extremely important. You need the right type of seed that will produce high quality long fibers and the greatest yield in a given climate. Most seed has had to be imported, but we are finally beginning to research and produce a small domestic seed supply.

  • Farm

    Local entrepreneurial farmers have already harvested several seasons worth of industrial hemp. However, incorrect seed stock and lack of experience have meant mixed results. Plus the biggest market is for CBD hemp oil, not the same plant as needed for fabric fiber.

  • Fiber

    This is the raw material that will be made into fabric. Right now, there is not enough domestic supply to meet the demand. Bottlenecks include lack of long fiber hemp, processing capacity and yarn spinning, but Hemp.Style is leading the way with our N.C. partners to address these shortages.

  • Yarn

    Before we can make a sweatshirts or hoodies, the fabric needs to be woven from individual strands of yarn, which are in turn spun from processed fiber. This process must be reengineered for hemp and is one of the missing links in the domestic supply chain that Hemp.Style will help to build.

  • Fabric & Dye

    The manufacture and dyeing of fabric is another missing link. Very few domestic dyers or producers of fabric exist. So far, there are no North American suppliers of hemp fabric, but Hemp.Style is working with N.C. fabric knitters to make a customized new fabric from hemp, in the U.S.A.

  • Cut & Stitch

    There are a handful of cut & stitch shops spread across the country that can turn fabric into finished goods, and fortunate for us, the is a good one here in Denver. However, due to high U.S. labor costs, the finished clothing will be much more expensive to produce than overseas.

  • Labeling, Printing & Embroidery

    There are a number of local options for this step. We've decided to go with a family-run business in our home town of Parker, Colorado. We love supporting this local business, but again, it will be much more expensive than if it were done overseas.

  • Packaging & Finish

    For this final link in our supply chain we will rely on local work experience businesses like Bayaud Enterprises, helping Denver area people with disabilities to create self-reliance. Hemp.Style's goal is to always benefit our local economy and people.
