Hemp is a high-performance all-seasons fabric appropriate for both indoor and outdoor use. Hemp provides warmth and breathability in a superior combination than cotton and most other fabrics. The shaft-like structure of hemp fiber allows it to wick moisture off the body and dry quickly.

Sizing:
Cool washing and drying is required to maintain sizing integrity. You may choose to reduce sizing by approximately 8 percent by putting hemp clothing in a warm dryer. To ensure an accurate fit, you will need to take your body measurements with a fabric measuring tape. To receive a FREE measuring tape, email your postal address to Downbound Support.

Manufacturer:

This sweatshop-free product is designed and manufactured by Ecolution using locally grown organic hemp. Ecolution is based in the democratic country Romania, where it owns its own organic hemp fields and processing facility, which operate under fair trade no-sweatshop guidelines. The employees that made this product are paid more than the Romanian average, are given opportunities for advancement within the company, receive medical and pension coverage, and work in a facility that is safe, well-lit, heated, and free of toxic chemicals. Ecolution does not employ children. In addition to showing utmost concern for its workers, Ecolution products are 100% vegan, containing no products from animal exploitation such as leather or wool.

Ecolution's organic hemp crops are grown in accordance with the European Union's organic certification regulations. Unlike most hemp fabrics, the fabric in this product was processed using a series of fine mechanical combings rather than heavy caustic sodas and acid rinses. Non-chemical processing is environmentally friendly, and preserves the integrity of the hemp fiber, which contributes to a strong and durable fabric. Ecolution has manufactured this product with rigorous attention to quality, so that the environmental impact of production and distribution can be spread over as many years of product life as possible. Hemp fabric is very resistant to degradation from mold, bacteria, salt water, sunlight, abrasion, and chemicals. At the end of this product's life, the organic hemp fabric is 100% biodegradable, unlike synthetic fabrics or tanned leather.

Ecolution uses environmentally friendly fiber-reactive and plant-based dyes. Fiber-reactive dyes contain no heavy metals or known toxic substances, and meet all European Union criteria for being environmentally friendly. Fiber-reactive dye molecules bond permanently with fiber molecules, significantly reducing the amount of dye entering the water system through production and home washing. Plant-based dies, such as Oak, Bilberry, Pansy, and Oregano are sourced locally from Romania, and are fixed using only environmentally friendly mordants such as blue stone, alum, salt, and vinegar. All of Ecolution's buttons are made from natural biodegradable materials such as uninhabited sea shells or tagua nuts that are collected by indigenous peoples from the Amazon rainforest. Even Ecolution's threads are selected only from first world factories that hold Oeko-Tex 100 Standard certificates for environmentally friendly production practices.

nice pants. January 14, 2006
Reviewer: Lee Smith from West Warwick, RI United States  
Extremely comfortable with a loose fit in the legs.  Color wise, my sage pants were accurately represented in the picture.  Very high quality as all ecolution products are.

comfortable June 30, 2005
Reviewer: PKC from Jamestown, ND United States  
Although color (orange) was 'brighter' than expected based on picture, was still pleased with overall look.  Initially VERY long, but first washing took about 4 inches off the bottom!  Right now fit perfectly; hope subsequent launderings don't yield much additional shrinkage.
