Hemp clothing companies would probably tell you that processing hemp into textiles is expensive in America, and they’re right. America has banned hemp farming for nearly a century, and Canada and China are light years ahead of us (buy your hemp clothes directly from those countries if you want to save money). In fact, many hemp clothing companies in America are already getting their materials from Canada or China.
Now, if Patagonia’s hemp clothing is expensive, I’ll listen, because those pants live longer than me. Some brand coming out of nowhere on social media with $120 “hemp” shoes, though? Steer clear.
