Why is hemp better than cotton for clothing?

Hemp fibre is naturally stronger than cotton - it holds its shape and structure through repeated wear and washing without thinning or degrading. Hemp also requires significantly less water to grow, needs no synthetic pesticides and improves the soil it's grown in. From an environmental standpoint, hemp has a lower impact at every stage of production. From a wear standpoint, hemp garments tend to last longer and get softer over time rather than wearing out.

Is hemp clothing good for surfing?

Hemp is well suited to surf and water use. The fibre is naturally resistant to UV degradation, salt water and stretch loss - all conditions that quickly wear out lower-quality fabrics. Afends hemp boardshorts use hemp blends specifically for these properties: they hold their shape in the water, resist fading in sun and salt, and dry quickly. Hemp tees and shirts also travel well between the beach and everyday settings.

What does men's hemp clothing look like?

Afends men's hemp clothing has the same aesthetic as the rest of the range - relaxed, coastal and considered. Hemp seersucker shirts come in yarn-dyed check prints. Hemp tees are cut in boxy and relaxed fits. Hemp boardshorts are available in solid colours and prints across 18 to 22 inch inseams. Hemp denim jeans have the look of traditional denim with a more textured hand feel. None of it reads as "sustainable fashion" in the obvious sense - it just looks like well-made clothing.
