Guide — Edition 01
Hemp, ancient fiber, future material.
01A fiber that has seen it all
Hemp has dressed humanity for millennia — ship sails, workshop canvases, workwear. Then synthetic fiber arrived: cheaper, faster. B-Blunt brings it back to the street, where it always belonged.
Hemp as a material, not as a costume: the second commandment of the B-Blunt code.
02Why hemp for clothing
- Strength. Hemp fiber is one of the strongest plant fibers — a hemp garment lasts years, not seasons.
- Breathability. Naturally thermoregulating: cool in summer, insulating in winter.
- Low impact. Hemp grows fast, needs little water and no pesticides — a sober crop next to intensive cotton.
- Patina. Like good denim, hemp canvas softens and marks with time. Every piece tells its wearer.
03Hemp in skincare
Hemp oil, cold-pressed from seeds, is rich in essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6). In skincare, it nourishes without a greasy film and suits demanding skin.
B-Blunt's Skin Ritual line works this material: infused creams, oils, balms — essential skincare, no magic promises.
04Caring for a hemp garment
- Wash cold or at 30°C, inside out.
- Air dry — the dryer hardens the fiber.
- No softener: the fiber softens on its own with wear.
- Wrinkles are part of the character. Ironing is for uniforms.
05Frequently asked questions
Does hemp itch?
New hemp canvas can feel rustic at first touch, then it softens quickly with washing and wear — like raw denim.
Hemp vs cannabis: what's the difference?
Textile hemp is a variety of the plant grown for its fiber and seeds, with very low THC content. B-Blunt works the fiber and the seed — never the flower.
Is hemp clothing eco-friendly?
Growing hemp needs little water and no pesticides, making it one of the most sober fibers to produce. Still, every garment has a footprint — the piece that lasts ten years remains the greenest.
Does hemp oil suit all skin types?
Hemp oil is non-comedogenic and well tolerated by most skin, including sensitive skin. As with any skincare, a patch test is advised.
