NAVY BASE SHIRT

SIZE UP FOR A LONGER FIT; FOLLOW CARE INSTRUCTIONS TO PREVENT SHRINKAGE — IF SHRINKAGE OCCURS, THE FABRIC CAN BE STRETCHED BACK OUT.

55% hemp, 45% cotton

Machine wash cold with like colors, use mild detergent, hang dry to avoid temporary shrinkage, and if the fabric tightens after drying, simply wear or gently stretch it and it will return to its natural shape.

A medium-weight shirt cut from a 55% hemp, 45% organic cotton blend, chosen for both its feel and its footprint. Each garment requires roughly 600–700 liters of water from seed to finished fiber far less than the 2,000–3,000 liters used for a typical cotton T-shirt. Hemp grows quickly on natural rainfall, using up to 3z less land than cotton and requiring no synthetic pesticides, while organic cotton reduces irrigation needs by 50–90% and avoids chemical fertilizers entirely.---- From crop to closet, the shirt carries an estimated 1.7–2.2 kg of CO2. Farming contributes very little — hemp absorbs CO2 as it grows, up to 1.6 tons of CO2 per ton of fiber, and organic cotton emits nearly 50% less than conventional cotton. The largest portion of emissions comes from spinning, knitting, and dyeing the fabric. Cut-and-sew production is completed in a certified factory in China, adding only a modest portion to the total footprint. Shipping the finished shirts from China to the U.S. is the main change: ocean freight adds roughly 0.3–0.5 kg CO2 per shirt, followed by 0.3–0.6 kg CO2 for domestic delivery to the customer.---- Colors are achieved using low-impact, fiber-reactive dyes — free of heavy metals and restricted amines — with wastewater treated before release to minimize chemical runoff. Because the garment contains no synthetic fibers, it sheds zero plastic microfibers and breaks down naturally at end of life.---- Every order ships in recycled paper or certified-compostable packaging, avoiding traditional polybags. Packaging production adds only 0.1–0.3 kg CO2, and all materials are designed to re-enter recycling or compost streams without leaving permanent plastic waste behind.---- Fully biodegradable, recyclable, and built from plant-based fibers, this shirt is made to last — with a footprint dramatically lower than the average tee, even with overseas sewing.
