Chatham Striped Hemp Shirt

£84.00
SizeSmall

Our first striped shirt takes its name from the historic naval ropemakers at Chatham Dockyard, Kent who used hemp fibre to spin the 30 miles of rope required to rig a ship. Chosen on account of its durability and resistance to saltwater corrosion, hemp was used at sea for 300 years.

Our classic hemp shirt is the perfect shirt for a light, relaxed look. It can be worn throughout the year thanks to the hollowness of hemp fibres meaning it breathes well in summer, and insulates in winter.

  • 100% hemp
  • Softens with each wash
  • Will crumple lightly (not as much as linen)
  • Elegant placket and a classic collar for a versatile look
  • 100% biodegradable fabric
  • Arrives gift-wrapped
  • Made in Hanoi, Vietnam

Our shirts are cut to a 'gentleman's fit', which is loose-fitting, but slightly tailored at the waist to remove excess bagginess.

We recommend you choose your shirt based on chest.

Model is 6'1", slim/athletic with 39" chest, and wearing an M. 'Size guide' (above) refers to body measurements.

  • Wash at no more than 40°C
  • First wash separately
  • Iron whilst damp

FAQ

What does hemp feel like to wear?

Hemp has a slightly firmer texture than cotton at first with the allure of fine, but heavier, linen. Softening quickly with washing and wear it becomes more breathable and comfortable over time, ideal for everyday use.

Will this item shrink or change after washing?

Hemp can shrink slightly if washed at high temperatures. To keep your garment looking and feeling its best, please follow the care guidelines listed above.

How do I choose the right size?

Please refer to the 'Size & Fit' tab and 'Size Guide' feature above. If you’re between sizes or unsure, we recommend sizing up.

How long will this piece last?

Hemp is one of the most durable natural fibres. With proper care, our clothing is made to last for years.
