Talith and Vera, two surfer babes on a mission; to drive 6000 kilometers through eastern Europe, Turkey, Syria and eventually end up and take a dip in the Red Sea in Jordan …for charity. This is the synopsis for one of the teams at the Red Sea Challenge 2009. HoodLamb powered the babes with survival gear for the chilly desert nights…
Hemp Works Fashion Show held on November 21st 2007 at Amsterdams' Melkweg.
Presenting the hottest streetwear labels dedicated to the use of hemp and other eco-friendly fabrics.
After many requests, we're very happy to announce the release
of The HoodLamb Kidz Line! Make sure your little ones are never left in
the cold: with the Junior HoodLamb Jackets you can now winterproof your kids and make sure they are high in comfort all winter long!
We've used our years of experience in eco-friendly clothing production to create this special line for kids. The Junior HoodLamb Jackets are fully water and wind resistant, feature soft and warm handwarmer pockets and super cute hoodlamb embroidery. Like all HoodLamb wear they're made from eco-friendly fabrics: hemp, organic cotton and our hemp/recycled pet fake fur. Check out our models Asia Lu, Tom Lee and Doug Junior in the Junior HoodLamb Jackets!
Another Winter shipment has arrived! We received a fresh load of essential accessories and apparel from eco-fiber fashion brand Braintree.
Braintree is a UK-based clothing brand which has its roots in Australia. All their garments are made from ecological fabrics like hemp, bamboo and soybean fiber. The environmental aspect of their business sits side by side with the
humanitarian aspect. They make sure that their production partners share their values on important issues like child labour, discrimination,
working hours, discipline practices, freedom of association and health
and safety.
Come by the store to check out their comfy hats, scarfs and socks and much sought-after hemp jeans and yoga pants!
Items we've all been waiting for like the Furry Hoody, Ruderalis Hat and world famous Hemp HoodLamb Winter Jackets are now in stores.
Hemp HoodLambs are the ultimate after-activity Winter Jackets. Out of all imaginable pieces of clothing, this design rule probably applies most to a winter jacket. When temperatures reach their lows and rain and storms are on the rise, you have to be able to rely on your jacket. Whether you are plowing through a meter of snow in your drive-way or going out for a drink at night after spending all day on the slopes, you can rely on your HoodLamb to keep you comfortable.
Hemp is not only eco-friendy but also the strongest natural fiber on the planet. This quality makes hemp fabric perfect for an outer shell that has to withstand the elements each and every day of winter. The lining is made of our Cruelty Free Satifur. A soft and breathable alternative to animal fur made from hemp and recycled PET.
The HoodLamb Jacket line features 4 different styles: the Tech 4-20 and Classic for men and Long Coat and Classic for Ladies. Now available in great new colors like Arctic Canno and Deep Purple! Besides a broad collection of outerwear the Collection also features new items like cool hoodies and tank tops for girls and stylish sweaters and t-shrits for men. All made from hemp, organic cotton and other earth friendly fabrics. Be warm and high in comfort all Winter long!
Hemp, one of mama Earths most eco-friendly and versatile crops, is still illegal to grow in many countries. For example, the US government does not differentiate between industrial hemp and marijuana. Hey, there is actually a difference between these two, even though they are sister plants. Industrial Hemp is solely grown for its fiber (oh, and I forgot the 25.000 other uses) and contains a hardly noticeable level of THC – it couldn’t make you high if you smoked it…you’re better off smoking green tea. Therefore, time to cease this irrational argument that industrial Hemp is bad. An argument based on emotion and conservative thinking, not reason.
Luckily there is progress thanks to a network of brave hemp warriors. Newly a troop of Hemp farmers, business owners and Vote Hemp representatives planted industrial Hemp seeds on the DEA headquarters lawn and got arrested. Check out the clip!
Hemp HoodLamb brings you Hemp Fact # 2:
The 1st President of the United States was a hemp farmer! Did you know…the US Library of Congress provides first-hand accounts in George Washington’s own handwriting that he was a Hemp farmer. If George Washington were alive today he would be arrested and would be arrested and would be locked up for the thousands of kilos of non-drug Hemp he grew. He would face up to 40 years in prison and $1,000,000 in fines. As a felon, he would lose his right to vote and run for political office. Also, he would face up to life in prison for his hemp farms and be fined up to $4,000,000 if convicted for the same offense by the federal government.
If you find one of these bills around town, pick one up! Hemp Works will give you 10% off on all purchuses for supporting industrial Hemp!
Before the new HoodLamb Winter Collection arrives, we're given some great deals on last years Winter Collection. The very stylish Ladies Drop Top is now on sale for only 99 euros!
A great winter jacket made from a durable hemp/organic cotton blend which is water and wind resistant, lined with super soft hemp fur and featuring many handy pockets and well-thought utilities.
