As stigma begins to shed on hemp—a strain of the Cannabis sativa plant species that’s not intended for drug use—and legislation on its use changes throughout the U.S., its popularity continues to increase in fashion and other lifestyle products.
For the denim world, this translates to a fiber alternative that can take the place of—or reduce the amount of—water-intensive cotton.
In honor of National Hemp Day on Feb. 4, Rivet took a look at some of the best fashion and home items made with the natural fiber.
Levi’s WellThread X Outerknown Lined Sherpa Trucker Jacket
Levi’s Wellthread x Outerknown incorporated cottonized hemp into its 2019 collections, which featured everything from jeans to T-shirts. This Sherpa trucker jacket was one of the standout pieces for its versatility and flair. The removable cozy lining makes it a jacket that can stay in your closet all year long.
