Met a guy called Gav Lawson recently, who with his bro set up a hemp t-shirt label, THTC, about ten years ago - ie. well before the current ethical bandwagon (not that I'm knocking the current ethical move - is all great and to the better good). Til now, they've mainly been geared up to create tees for the guys; the collection has a very urban feel with political slant - new designs include anti-corporate, evil MuckDonald images by graphic designer/illustrator Mau Mau.
BUT they have started expanding the options for women, made in organic bamboo (softer than hemp), including some neat polo shirts, twisted racer back vests, tee shirts, and hoodies. I spent a good bit of time convincing him to develop them into shirt dresses and vest dresses, and push the designs a little harder, which he either heard or didn't (maybe I was overdoing it?), so watch this space as you never know! Worth a look if you want to buy some more conscientious basics.
