Bamboo Fabric
Bamboo has a natural sheen and feels similar to silk or cashmere. We use a blend of 30% cotton and 70% bamboo for our t-shirts. We have determined that this is the best balance to produce a soft jersey fabric that is durable and minimizes pilling.
Only 10% of the vast bamboo forests are given over to commercial use. Only some strains of bamboo are suitable for making clothing.
- Bamboo fabric is antibacterial, antifungal and antistatic.
- 3.4 Bamboo absorbs water 3-4 times better than cotton.
- Bamboo stays 2-3 degrees cooler in hot weather & warmer in cold.
- Bamboo is the world's fastest growing plant, sometimes rising several feet in a day.
Our goal is to utilize a diverse base of raw materials like soy, hemp, flax and others to help to keep an environmental balance. Organic Cotton is only 0.03% of world cotton production and its demand is beginning to outweigh its supply as consumers begin to realize the heinous effects of conventional cotton farming on humans and the environment.
