Hemp is one of the oldest fibres in the world. It's been cultivated in Chinasince roughly 8000 BC. China is still the largest producer of Hemp in theworld and are the experts in cultivation and treatment. Cotton can be grownwithout harmful chemicals, and our organic cotton is. Our T-shirts are madeunder Fair Wear conditions to a high quality standard. Our tees are made in China, the leader in hemp cultivation and processing, and a place we settled on after much research and conversation with mills and manufacturers. We deal with one vertically integrated company to produce Buddy. This means that they own and control the entire process from growing to sewing. All of their factories (weaving, cutting, sewing, dyeing & shipping) are powered predominantly by solar energy. The organic fabric they produce for us (our Classic Hemp Tee is a blend of 55% Hemp & 45% Organic Cotton) is certified OCS and GOTS compliant. They are also a member of the Fair Wear Association, an independent non-profit organisation that works with factories to improve labour conditions for garment workers and conducts regular audits. The company provides medical benefits, safety insurance, regular salary raises, vacation days, and community building. * Also Available in Other colours
