Hemp gets better with time, not worse. Your Gi jacket will be soft and malleable rather than like trying to wrangle yourself into a corrugated cardboard box.

Do you find the stitching coming undone on the knee patches of your cotton Gi? Or tears in the fabric along seams? Hemp has an increased tensile strength compared to cotton, making the use of hemp fabric for Gi's a no-brainer.

Hemp is naturally anti-microbial and anti-bacterial. This means when you sweat into your hemp gi, it resists holding onto the bacteria. No stink!

There is a lot of greenwashing in the marketing world as customers call for more ethical choices.
