Hemp Jackets
Tough, versatile and eco-conscious, and grown with little water and no soil depletion, hemp is one of the most eco-friendly fibres. Think of it as cotton’s tougher sibling — rugged, longer-lasting, and just as comfortable, with natural UV protection, antimicrobial properties, and excellent moisture absorption. Hemp has amazing thermoregulating properties, keeping you warm in cold weather and cool when it gets hot.

Let customers speak for us
Got introduced to the site through an advertisement on Instagram and the jacket did not disappoint me, the product is definitely an up market product. I am surely coming for more collections. keep the collections coming !!!
The jacket feels sturdy and well built - note though that it has some heft to it and won't work if you are looking for a light option for everyday use. The fabric has great texture and personality and feels very stylish - unlike anything I have used before. Would highly recommend it for social outings and evenings in town. Love the brand story too.
Love this product! This is the first time I am trying a hemp jacket as I wanted to explore an eco-friendly option and must say, it has a unique natural vibe to it and feels comfortable and lightweight enough for everyday wear. I’ve already got compliments on it at work. I can see this becoming my go-to layer.
It’s extremely breathable, super stylish and the colour is same which makes it even more lovable to wear at any occasion!!!
Go for it guys’ 🦋
Super soft fabric, perfect fit, and great quality. Looks sharp even after multiple washes. Definitely a staple in my wardrobe now!
Absolutely love this shirt! The fabric quality is excellent and the Glacier Blue color is just perfect. Good fit for size M. Highly recommended!
Excellent fit and finish, the fabric is very comfortable to wear, looks & feels premium, and the color is amazing. Size L fits perfect (6 ft 77 kg).
Absolutely love this jacket, it exceeds my expectations in every way. The color is rich and classic, making it easy to pair with almost anything in my wardrobe. Whether I'm dressing up for a casual meeting or heading out for the weekend, this jacket fits the vibe perfectly.
The size fits just right—comfortable and roomy enough for layering, but still gives a clean, tailored look. The cotton twill material feels durable yet soft, and it has that perfect balance between structure and flexibility. You can tell it's made to last.
I also appreciate the thoughtful design—plenty of functional pockets and a nice inner lining that gives it a polished finish. I think this is the main differentiating factor between this jacket and the others.
Overall, this has quickly become my go-to jacket. Great fit, quality fabric, and timeless style. Highly recommend!
This shirt is light, the fabric feels soft against the skin , making it suitable for extended wear. The quality of the material and stitching quality is solid.
definitely recommended.
