Wearing hemp is a lot like wearing linen - lightweight, highly breathable, and lofty. While there is great hemp clothing out there, we haven't seen it in a plaid mixing our summer palette of washed blues and greens. This is a contemporary plaid with a new, more sustainable fabric quality.

• Hemp/Cotton Blend
• Bleach washed remove color and shrink
• Preshrunk

• Fabric Milling: This fabric was designed by and milled exclusively for Corridor 
  

Dakota is 6'1" and is wearing the Hemp Plaid LS in size M.

What does responsibility mean? People talk a lot about transparency and sustainability. I think the sum is responsibility. For Corridor, this means that we actually work in the factory with the tailors every season to create the garments and ensure the workshops are environmentally certified (ISO 9001) and socially accountable (SA 8000). You can feel good knowing where and how the garment was made.

This garment was a made in 3rd generation, open air workshop with on site day care, garden, paying a living wage to the artisans who made the goods. The workshop is located in Madras, India and melds the new (Japanese sewing machines) and the old (hand embroidery, hand loomed fabrics, natural dying) for a product that is authentic and contemporary. This is a mostly woman operated factory and is partnered with a rehabilitation center for women encountering domestic violence. We work out of the workshop for approximately two months of the year.
