Byzantium Purple Heavy Hemp Shirt

£95.00
SizeSmall

Inspired by Constantinople (modern Istanbul) which was a key Silk Road hub; the Byzantine Empire famously used purple for royalty.

Sporting a heavier weight (260gsm rather than the usual 180gsm), this is an incredibly unique, luxurious fabric ideal for colder winter months when a little more fabric is needed in shirting to avoid putting a jumper on inside.

  • 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 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 41.5" chest, and wearing an L. '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.

Heavy hemp shirt

"Bought the purple hemp shirt, lovely and thick material, well made and colour wonderfully vibrant. Different from my other shirts and certainly recommended. Not 'fitted' but looks great worn out"

"Love it"

— Les (5/5)

An outstanding shirt

"My third hemp shirt! This one is a great rich purple, an excellent weight for cooler months, a perfect fit and super value for money. These hemp shirts wash and iron far easier than linen shirts - my only regret is not finding Babble and Hemp sooner!!"

— Nigel T. (5/5)
