Numerous HIA members, such as Clothing Matters, Dash Hemp, EnviroTextiles, Hemp Elegance, Hemp Traders, Hempy's, Livity Outernational, Mountains of the Moon, Satori Movement, Sweetgrass and Two Jupiters, make a varied range of quality hemp clothing and textiles.
The HIA estimates that the North American retail market for hemp textiles and fabrics exceeded $100 million in 2007 and is growing around 10% per year, about the same rate as the general hemp market.
Hemp is better for the environment because it does not require pesticides and improves soil quality. Unfortunately, makers of hemp clothing must import their raw materials from overseas because U.S. farmers are not allowed to grow industrial hemp.
