It seems like hemp is custom-made for the herringbone weave (or would it be the other way around?), and this is a splendid example of that claim. Lighter and more versatile than our glorious heavy hemp herringbones, the beautiful fabric has a classic appeal all of its own. It's a beautiful, durable fabric that washes and wears delightfully. This is an obvious choice for jackets, vests, skirts, and pants. Hemp's marvelous durability means you'll choose this material for kids' clothes as well -- you put a lot of work into making their clothes; wouldn't it be nice if they survived to be passed down to future generations of lucky children? Absolutely stunning when used around the house, too. Colored a neutral sand, using low-impact dyes.
