The TRUTH About Patagonia's New Material

Patagonia recently released a Hemp clothing line as part of an effort to diversify their range of materials. Watch as we break down the viability of hemp vs cotton, as well as how Patagonia plans on making industrial hemp a popular textile option in the future. What about you, do you think hemp will succeed in the long run?

I'm an electrician and I wear a Patagonia work jacket made out of hemp, on top of the environmental benefits it's also ridiculously durable. This jacket has outlasted at least 4 pairs of Carhartt pants and I'm crawling around all sorts of attics and crawlspaces so it gets worked.

I've had a Patagonia short sleeves shirt, in the 90s, that was 100% hemp... and a little harsh on the skin because textile was quite thick and not so supple; but it was so strong. Several years later, a new one in cotton-hemp blend was much pleasant to wear, but slightly less resistant.

[@FutureProofTV]

Hemp's come a long way in terms of softness, especially since it's often mixed with other materials. Glad to hear it lasted you so long!

[@raifikarj6698]

@@FutureProofTV so the addition of Hemp it just a clever move for introducing a new material and getting more variety of textile for the future market where long lasting product now was picked up pace for a new trend as it should because the ever rotating trend.

[@Clove_Parma]

@@raifikarj6698 It's not just that hemp is longer lasting, it's that it also requires FAR less water to grow. This could be a revolution in countries such as Australia, which produces cotton but is the driest inhabited continent on earth. I'm not sure how to ready the rest of your sentence, if you could rephrase, I'd be happy to address those points too. I believe you're commenting on the long-lasting nature of hemp, but that it's less durable when blended with other materials, this is based on the use case. For work wear, they can use a higher percentage of hemp for increased durability, but in everyday wear, consumers prefer softer and more comfortable clothing, so they can reduce the hemp blend accordingly. Either way it still requires less water, less pesticides and is more durable than standard cotton

I am a docent with The Traveling Hemp Museum. This was music to my ears. We educate about the past, present and future of hemp. This is both present and future. A good bit of the past to have included was that Levi Jean's were born from recycled hemp sails in San Francisco. They made the most durable pants for the miners crawling through rocky tunnels. The brass rivets were to hold the pockets together when filled with gold. Hemp clothing also helps prevent skin fungus, which is one of many reasons it is the primary ingredient for many military uniforms. Socks in particular.

Hemp used to be in common use in pre-occupation Japan, but with the US occupation came very strict rules against it for political and financial reasons. But historically, there is a strong tradition of using it for fabric and other uses. I hope this knowledge can once again be put to use.

Totally agree! Thanks for joining us here and sharing, Jailyn ✨

[@CrashCarson14]

Flax?

[@justinw1765]

Flax linen has been used forever in more high end garments particularly. Usually sold for summer wear. It is a great fabric for hot weather--all but the most humid--like jungle humid. (The higher the humidity, the more synthetic you want to add to speed up drying time). Ramie, flax, and hemp have a lot of similarities on a fiber structure and content level, though they have some minor differences. Ramie is less flexible, hemp fibers tend to be a bit larger (and therefore more coarse feeling) than flax linen, etc. But they are all hollow bast fibers with a high cellulose content but with appreciable lignin content (vs cotton which is more pure cellulose).

[@larrymccready5636]

The Patagonia 55% hemp, 18% organic , and 27% recycled polyester clothes are wonderful. I have two of their Ferrier shirts and their unlined work chore coat , and they are bulletproof. They are also very soft and comfortable. A hemp fan for life.

I have the hemp shirt and pants from their work line and they are very nice. different percentages of hemp in them though which leads to the shirt feeling stiff and warm while the pants feel much lighter and almost flow with you when you move. I'd recommend both.

[@nj1255]

Hemp is Cannabis (Latin name: Cannabis Sativa), but the strains that you grow for their fibres and the strains that you grow for consumption are different. 100-200 years ago the two would have been more similar, but since Cannabis became a large industry at first for their fibres, and later for it's use as a medicinal plant/drug, the varieties have diverted. The plant that you grow for fibres is pure Cannabis Sativa, but a strain that has been cultivated to maximize stem size and minimize THC content. The strains that are grown for consumption can vary between pure Cannabis Sativa, to any amount of mix between Cannabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica and Cannabis Ruderalis, to pure Cannabis Indica (even though it's not clear if all of these are different species or just varieties on Cannabis Sativa). These strains have been cultivated to maximize THC content and flower yield, as well as making them easier to grow. It's the same thing as the Hop that is grown for use in gardens and the Hop that is grown for use in beer. Same species, different strains. A fun fact is that Hop (Humulus) is the closest relative species to Cannabis. That's why they have a similar scent. They diverted 25 million years ago into Hop and Cannabis.

[@DanBCooper]

I work in ag every day here in Central California, the highest producing agricultural area in the United States. There have been some guys that gambled on growing hemp, and lost their asses. They knew it was a gamble anyways going into it, as the market is so unstable it's a joke. There IS still cotton around here though, but most cotton since the 90's has come from China due to there cheap slave labor. BTW I've got nothing against hemp, I make money as a mechanic regardless of what the farmers grow. Anyways, cheers all !

[@missedyadobalina8619]

Yeah, there's a lot of issues with growing hemp near the other stuff, sadly. Hemp has a major uphill battle in many areas, including technology lag in everything from harvest to fabric/plastics consumer products.

[@blackmber]

Hemp textile really shines in applications where it needs to resist wear, UV, fire, and microbial damage. Hemp upholstery, “linens”, bags, tarps, and cords are well suited to the purpose. Unlike in clothing, stiffness or scratchy-ness are no disadvantage for these. Apparently hemp bricks have been developed for building materials. I was shopping for curtain textiles recently and was very impressed with hemp’s crisp drape, colourfastness in sunlight, and flame resistance compared to other options. I would have bought it had I not discovered some adequate fabrics in my mother-in-law’s stash.

[@justinw1765]

Fire? Pretty sure hemp is quite flammable. The only natural material that is truly and naturally fire resistant is wool--well wool of all kinds, but the most research has been done on sheep's wool specifically, which has a higher moisture regain than most other wools.

[@blackmber]

@justinw1765 I think I made a mistake. Hemp fabric is flammable, but the bricks made from hemp are resistant to fire. They burn very slowly, insulate from heat, and stop burning when the heat source is removed. There are video demonstrations of using a blowtorch on hempcrete which show this.

Patagonia would be the only brand I know of, which I believe is expensive for a pretty good reason. When the retail price for a t-shirt for example, which is supposedly one of the least expensive items for a brand to make, is broken down 70% brand name/ 30% materials, I find it absolutely ridiculous having to pay 30 or 40 euros for an item that will most probably start to wear out after a single year. I only own one Patagonia t-shirt, but having countless of them from all kinds of board sports brands, I remember the moment I felt the material for the first time, I knew this was a top quality product and it was worth paying for it

[@SoftTofu123]

It's important to note that hemp (and linen) is not as good as cotton as clothing fabric. While it's much more durable, because of its durability, it's less comfortable around body. it's not just about the harshness of the fabric, but it's got less stretch. this lack of stretch (or more toughness) is what makes them really durable. The issue is that the fabric doesn't really change its shape along with the body movement, so people would feel more restricted. While development in processing may resolve issues lack of softness, it won't do much for lack of flexibility. I doubt that hemp will ever replace cotton in clothing in any capacity. it will probably remain as good alternative. I wish this episode was centered around hemp, rather than Patagonia. I wish it discussed more on why using hemp on house items, such as bed sheet or curtain is far more likely and beneficial.

[@nox5555]

Linen is pretty great for shirts. you can also get 100% linen shirts from major brands and they are just perfect for summertime.

[@greatcrispy1]

Cotton as a material itself is not stretchy either. Cotton is spun very finely and then knit, and the knit structure of the fabric gives it it's stretch, not the fiber itself. Neither hemp or cotton or linen have any memory in their fibers- linen and hemp are bast fibers which is why they are initially stiffer, but if they are worn and washed they become very, very soft. It's a matter of educating consumers about textiles and changing the way that we interact with our clothes, not necessarily something 'wrong' with hemp.

[@carbonelll]

[@FutureProofTV]

[@psiholog.matei.gabriela]

i hope that in the future big brands like patagonia will be brave enough to sell 100% hemp items. for me making hemp feel like cotton is a waste. hemp is such an amazing fiber and the fabric has an amazing feel. in the beginning it is similar to linen (which lots of people already prefer for summer) but after several washes it becomes much softer without losing its drape. blending it with cotton or synthetics makes it loose that transformation and reduces it to the boring fabric we're all used to. the lack of an appropriate supply chain is indeed a problem and i hope they will help improve that as hemp becomes a more popular fiber.

[@kylethecreator]

Amazing video as always! I need to start writing down the movie clips you use, they are absolutely hilarious! Levi, your making me wish I owned less clothes so I could buy some but like you said better to use what you have. Had a video idea for you all to think on that goes with the thrifting topic. The store Plato's closet, seems to have this interesting tactic where they take only the newest of people's clothes so most people bring in a load of clothes and then walk out with the same load minus a few pieces but I wonder if there is any research on if those same people end up looking around the store while they wait for there clothes to be checked and then end up finding things they like and walk out with more clothes than they came with. Might be hard to prove any of this without data but I would bet you that is part of there business model.

All due respect, I genuinely don't know the answer but is the cost of production too high in California? With Patagonia's manufacture being done overseas, and there being far more forgiving climates to grow clothing materials such as hemp and cotton, maybe it simply doesn't stack up with the amount of shipping and high expenses required to source there? Perhaps they're focusing on larger producers with higher capacity? I won't pretend to have the answers, just wondering.

I mean EVERY plant does what Hemp does with CO2. That's what plants are made out of. If plants weren't made out of carbon from the air, the soil under them would disappear due to conservation of matter. Implying cotton doesn't sequester CO2 the same way by not mentioning it is misleading... Hemp's benefits don't need that kind of reporting. This overall is a decent video, but that one part stuck out to me.

[@potierjosselin3136]

You're totally right but what matter is the amount of carbon sequestered, its the plant that sequesters the MOST: Hemp absorbs between 8 to 15T of CO2 per hectare, (a dense and old forest sequesters between :2 to 6 T of CO2 per hectar).... Point is people think forests are the lungs of the earth (which is true) but if we cultivated hemp instead of cotton we could counter balance the damage caused by the forestry industry.

[@clarkelliott6272]

[@consideringorthodoxy5495]

Environmentally speaking, yes, hemp does appear to be better than cotton (though pesticide use might increase with more hemp because that’s what happens with crops), however, one thing bugs me about the conversation. Hemp and cotton are not even in the same fiber category. Cotton is a short staple fiber(soft, 3/8-2 1/2 in long) that’s fairly soft from the get go. But hemp is a long hast fiber (multiple feet per fiber) that is fairly rough but durable. The softness you get from hemp comes from wear and stress placed on the fiber, lowering its durability. As someone else mentioned, hemp also does not have the same dyeing capacity that cotton has, though I doubt that this problem will persist with more funding. The baseline problem is you cannot use one to replace the other efficiently because their properties are different. On a macro environmental scale, you’ve made a decent argument, I just don’t think it touches the core of the issue.

Another part of the reason why we don't grow much hemp here in the US is the lack of infrastructure. I live in a rural area of the south where cotton is king. There's many nearby cotton gins. I don't know of any hemp processors. No farmer is going to want to travel hours to deliver a load of hemp, esp with how much the market fluctuates. Whereas they always have someone nearby that want's their cotton. This can be easily overcome, but it can't just be the farmers involved. Everyone with an interest in hemp needs to be involved in all steps of the process.

[@justinw1765]

Flax linen and hemp fibers have a very similar structure and material content, but flax linen fibers tend to be smaller diameter which feels softer to the human skin. (the finer/smaller the fiber, the more soft it feels and conversely the thicker the fiber, the more coarse it feels. This is why mulberry silk feels so soft to the touch, because it is a ridiculously thin diameter fiber). Both are pretty "eco" compared to most other materials, though hemp gets a slight edge in that for needing less water and growing faster. The nice thing about hemp and linen fibers is that they are hollow. This facilitates a couple of interesting properties. They feel fairly warm when they are dry (especially linen since they are smaller fibers. The smaller the fiber, the more air it can trap/still potentially), but when they are wet, they are very cooling while not feeling as soaked as say cotton. Having less material, they also dry a bit faster than cotton and other cellulose based solid fibers. But more importantly, they feel dryer faster because that moisture is wicked to the inside and then out through that hollow, absorbent "straw" type structure. Waxed linen and hemp garments make great cold weather clothing, and unwaxed linen and hemp make great hot weather clothing.

You forgot it takes more processing then cotton to turn it into useful fibers and that takes energy and money so is more intensive.

How about the fact that Hemp paper can be recycled 10 times and wood paper only 4 times.plus it takes 10 years to grow wood to make paper and in 1 year you can grow and replant approximately3 times . so per acre hemp is more output with in a year than 1 acre of wood plus you don't have to worry about soil erosion after cutting hemp because you can immediately replant faster than to replant the trees . so better for the environment.

What uses more artificial fertilizers hemp or cotton?

[@yokaibyte2133]

Appreciate you!!!

I can understand blending hemp with other fibers, but why on earth with polyester? We forego the opportunity of having a sustainable and biodegradable fabric.

Cotton for towels, bamboo for underwear and socks and hemp for everything else!

[@DerpyLaron]

The chemicals point is a little screwed due to how cotton is produced both scale wise and having been an industrially used product for longer. Well not the water, but the rest. Remember context is important. Also points for cotton you didn't make well make but ignored. Cotton is lighter. Means transportation is cheaper. Making it a 4 to 3 maybe. Still hemp is awesome and we should use more of it.

Can I order on line?

[@drJoep043]

you should compare the yield per area not per plant. I dont know how much space a cotton or hemp plant takes on the field (3 min 42 sec)

I know it’s 100% hemp, but is it 100% tegrity ?

hemp material corrections are little bit itchy for skin. Should use more good enzyme to make more silky stuff. Should go to Japan and find good enzyme. It can transform more silky materials.
