Of the Oceans (clothing for men from Leicestershire)

Of the Oceans (Leicestershire) is one of the few companies to offer (pretty affordable) hemp clothing for men. Hemp grows more locally (in Europe) than cotton. Related to cannabis, but it won’t make you high! It also offers nice organic cotton hoodies.

For any clothing containing recycled polyester or elastane, launder in a microfibre filter (or just buy the 100% natural fabrics, far simpler!)

Hemp is naturally organic and very comfortable (warm in winter and cool in summer). This brand also donates a portion of profits donated to marine conservation charities.

You’ll also find hemp jeans (conventional jeans often have leather patches). And most use dyes that are so polluting, they have literally turned street dogs blue in India, from drinking water run-off).
