3 types of hemp fabric and its use

At Hempstories, we offer 3 main types of hemp fabrics that are highly suitable for apparel, especially for dresses and outer-wear.


(1) 100% hand-woven hemp

100% hand-woven fabric showcases the raw, natural beauty of hemp with a distinct, visible texture. This is a sturdy fabric with a unique texture. While initially stiff, the fibers naturally soften and become more supple with every wash. Features exceptional durability and high UV protection, making it a good choice for both summer and winter wear.

Best For: suit, blazer, outerwear and other accessories


(2) Machine woven Hemp and

Machine-woven hemp offers the perfect balance of traditional fiber benefits and modern comfort. This fabric has undergone a softening process to eliminate the stiffness of hemp, ensuring a smooth, irritation-free feel against the skin. 


Best For: Tailored suits, blazer, trousers, and formal wear.


(3) Hemp blend with silk

A lightweight refined blend that combines the durability of hemp with 

the smoothness of silk. It is exceptionally light and breathable, 

designed specifically for comfort in tropical and humid climates. 

It provides soft and airy feel.


Best For: Everyday casual wear, summer shirts, and relaxed-fit garments.

Due to its natural fibers, this fabric may wrinkles easily, but it is effortless to iron and returns to a smooth finish quickly.

Natural fibers have become increasingly popular these years and Hemp has been used extensively in many industries. Hemp fiber is naturally one of the most environmentally friendly fibers and can also be called a fiber of hundred uses.


As a fabric, Hemp provides all necessary properties such as softness, finess, breathability, durability, and UV resistance. Hemp will keep you warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Besides, from our visit to Hmong Villages and collaboration with Hmong ladies, Hemp can also represent the ancient ways of life and culture of Hmong families in the Northern provinces of Thailand where Hmong ladies grow, harvest, dry hemp bark, twist them into yarn, then pound and soften the fiber by a foot mill or beating, before being woven with ancient loom and finally dye the fabric with natural indigo. Hmong ladies intricately weave their own costume and decorate them with traditional embroidery art which is widely recognized around the world.
