Hemp/Ormond

Yesterday we recieved a new style of Ormond Jeans from Dr Denim made from Hemp. Here's a little info to get you excited/get you thinking more about the fabrics you're wearing everyday...

Hemp is derived from Cannabis Sativa, subspecies Sativa, whereas recreational drugs are derived from the Indica subspecies which has poorer fiber quality but higher Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content.

The use of hemp dates back to the Stone Age. In late medieval Germany and Italy, hemp was used as an ingredient in cooking, in pies and tortes. Other historical applications include rope and sail cloth, partly due to the exceptional fiber strength which is 8 times greater than that of cotton.

More recently, hemp fibers have made their way into denim as an environment- and people-friendly alternative to cotton, simultaneously offering a beautiful coarse fabric structure, superior insulation and great durability. Hemp requires few or no pesticides and only consumes 10% of the water quantity necessary to grow cotton while crop yields are 2-3 times higher. Altogether, a great alternative.

379g in Navy Linen - Effortlessly cool, with clean lines and inventive materials, the 379g pays homage to the plimsoll of a bygone era. Side stitched molded cupsole and double strength side stitch puts it ahead of the competition both in terms of style and durability.

380g in Sand Cow Suede - Essentially the classic dress shoe hybrid, this versatile derby cut lace up with cushioning rubbalon outsole is designed for the dandy that walks the beat.

400g in Teddy Bown - A low-profile cupsoled creation that draws inspiration from both the timeless double monkstrap and the infamous creeper shoes from the streets of London. Cushioned comfort with killer looks for any occasion.

All in-store now...
