Like I said I am just looking for some help with alternatives insted of contemplating what is moral. I say this all with the best of intentions

Thanks

You're right, none of my business, I should have done the welcome first, the other thing kinda threw me.

Interesting link Dale. Good price, nice material, anybody have one of these? For $100 plus shipping, might be worth a try, although it might be a bit lightweight for a Chicago winter, based on the description on the site.

or the 40 below winters here. Also to denote, the reason they came up with this hemp kilt idea (according to there story) was a better way to keep cooler in the heat. But it is a nice kilt, I may consider it sometime. Now if they can only mater tartans for hemp

It was mentioned some time back that this company was not good to deal with and that quality of product was poor. Aside from that I'm not sure how easily hemp fabric will wrinkle and crease.

couple of things about hemp material, a fabric I like, by the way. One, if you think wool smells funny wet wait 'til you smell wet hemp. Now, there's a friendly, nostalgic smell. The other is that cats will love you and start eating your clothes. Or maybe it's just my cats.

My guess based on the other fabrics is that it will not hold its shape well, but that's only a guess.

my understanding is that hemp is a very sturdy fabric and holds up quite well.
