Cotton T-Shirts Are Dead, Here's Why.

[@TheIronSnail]

Hello everyone! This video is almost a year old and I'm here to tell you that I'm currently WORKING with hemp on some clothing items and it's INCREDIBLE. Doesn't always have to be itchy or pokey.

[@zakshah3480]

I just read your first newsletter, and I knew immediately when you mentioned that there was another fabric that you were working on And that it would be hemp. I just tried on the naked and Famous hemp jeans and they were the softest pants that I'd ever tried on. If you work on anything with hemp, you've got a customer in me

[@calebmorse]

I'd love to see someone make a merino/hemp blend. Seems like there's room for some fabric innovation there.

Excellent work dude! This is a pretty complex subject since it spans manufacturing, ethics, and cultural taboos. You did a fantastic job distilling it all down into an entertaining video.

[@Templar112299]

One of the other things holding hemp back are laws. For example, in South Dakota you're only able to grow and harvest hemp if its THC levels are below a certain threshold, and these levels can change based on things like temperature and the amount of water they get, which can often be out of a farmer's control. If THC levels get too high, then you have to destroy your crop. Inspectors from the state must also clear your harvest which slows things down and makes it more expensive.

[@dieg8707]

got three of the same hemp shirt in different colors. two are perfectly comfy, the third makes my nipples bleed. be prepared to return things if you’re wanting to grab your first hemp items

[@Mike.thiswatchthatwatch]

You are without a doubt one of the funniest smart YT creators out there. I found you via watches and Theo & Harris and now I know more about insoles, outsoles and midsoles than I ever thought would be useful (and it still isn’t) - and yet I keep coming back for more 😂😂😂

[@saphna2095]

Same😂👌

[@xjoexedge]

Patigonia's hemp shorts are by far the best shorts i have worn. They are light and breathable and like you said the hemp reminds me of linen. They hold up reall well after a few years of washing. After weaing cotton shorts for ever i dont think I will go back after these hemp shorts.

[@bnagelt]

This was a blast to watch. Loved your plain language explanations of a very complex situation. Thank you

[@michaelm1053]

I love the camera work in this video. It’s well put together!

[@ay_why]

can't wait to wear a potato-milk blend shirt

[@Thekaiishi1]

Hey bud, love you videos. I personally think you missed out on some of the biggest reasons people like hemp. Like the water needed for it drastically less and the amount that can be harvested from hemp per plant vs cotton is way more. I understand why you focused on what you focused on but i think these are big ones i think should be touched on. No disrespect intended and loved the video all the same. Good job dude

[@BlakeValenta]

There is nothing in this world that is a cure-all. People tend to find something great and then over exaggerate its benefits which leads to a greater disappointment when it isn’t as amazing as advertised. But you hit it on the mark. Introducing a fiber that is more sustainable/more resilient into the mix could have a significant impact. Reducing plastic waste by 25% would be amazing. Reducing the ecological footprint we leave by growing and harvesting fibers for products by 25% would be amazing. We need more sustainable options and hemp is a very strong candidate

[@surgezoom7079]

Awesome video!

[@Mr-Merchant.]

Hemp was lobbied against by the lumber (for paper) and cotton companies, to have it outlawed in the 30's.

[@matthewraleigh5751]

Your vids are so pleasant. Honest.

[@Sam-Icy]

I love these educational type video's. Would be nice to also add some Collab's too. Even maybe going to japan for a week or two! Anyway great job as always!

[@pammikewilliams3026]

Michael, you are very thought provoking. Good job.

[@MaintenanceManNarratives]

Love your videos!!

[@PotTVNetwork]

What happens to hemp the more you wash and wear it? It gets softer over time. What happens to small wispy cotton fibers? They fall apart. Free the weed. Free the people.

[@sempi8159]

Yeaa no

[@johngoodwin2734]

Hope you and your potato had a nice walk

[@OGSarah]

My husband : what are you watching? Me: this cool quirky fashion guy I follow talking about hemp while standing in the woods. Husband : what? :: walks over and watches approx 37 seconds::: Hm.. I’m captivated. What’s his KZbin channel ? Great context as usual Michael. You’re really engaging and entertaining. I know this is just the beginning of your soon to be exponential successes.

[@lf6893]

We used hemp, sugar cane and silk on almost everything. That’s the good old days.

I actually have a handmade book bag made out of hemp it’s the coolest bag I own

[@shawnflynn1713]

The swedish rubber/leather boots are interesting but huge on your feet. The all leather ones from the 70s are absolutely amazing. I bought two pairs from varustekela in Finland. Might need two pairs of socks and some pairs are in better condition than others. But if you love tough swedish items like me,than buy them.

[@ivanbrownflower9828]

I have a pair of Lundhags, I think they're meant to be big to accommodate layers of socks, but you can still wear them with thinner socks because the sole seems to 'sit' your heel in securely so they dont feel loose and you then get the benefit of more air movement around your toes which is good in rubber boots.

[@Yotaciv]

Hemp might be thicker but being much longer theres less ends to poke into your skin.

[@justicebinder6544]

I loved the potato analogy tbh

[@paul--b]

hemp is certainly better than teflon for sealing threaded plumbing joints

[@togzor]

I’ve been putting hemp in my sock drawer for years and my socks still only last a week

[@silotx]

Stop jerking off with your socks and they will last more.

Theres no reason there isn’t a major hemp textile industry. Its just a “dangerous” revolutionary idea.

[@ryancox4498]

@@ShaggyRodgers420 Not enough, because it's hard to find. But my bed sheets are 100% hemp and they are the most cozy sheets I've ever had.

[@antine1279]

​@@ShaggyRodgers420people don't buy it because it's not sold in many places. It has loads of potential and it's being cockblocked by those who don't want things to change because it doesn't suit their agendas.

Bro how can you NOT talk about slavery and colonialism? Thats basically why cotton became so popular because white ppl got slaves to pick it. Plus all the propaganda on hemp that its this horrible thing and nothing should be mad of hemp (when almost EVERYTHING was and could be made out of hemp before). It was basically the US propagandas fault we dont have widely used hemp composite (henry fords car was hemp and bean composite) and clothes paper etc (that was used 100ss of years(

[@josh440]

Agreed. Kind of a massive hole of information to just skip out on. It sours the video
