In comparing hemp to cotton, a textile used in producing many garments, studies show cotton uses about 50% of the world's toxic crop chemicals and not only is hemp stronger, but it lasts longer, is more absorbent, warmer, breathes better, and is more microbially-resistant. Not to mention, hemp requires only a third as much water as cotton to grow and only a tiny fraction of the fertilizer, pesticide and herbicide that cotton does.

According to Van B. Klingeren , in PubMed, "The chemical components in hemp are able to kill microorganisms including: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus viridans, Pneumococcus Cornyebacterium diphteriae, Bacillus anthracis, and Mycobacterium." Indeed, Hemp, Inc. is on the forefront and leading the trend in hemp clothing.
