Fichteltribe Hoodie – Organic Cotton and Hemp

The wonderful abstract pattern of this hoodie says “winter” to us. But more than that, we think that this is the ultimate Christmas jumper. Why? Well, the downside of the humble Christmas jumper is that it gets worn only a couple of times each year. We think this top is equally at home at Christmas as any other time of the year.

Why the “Fichteltribe” hoodie? The design was inspired by the Fichtel mountains which are located close to our friends at Bleed Clothing in north-eastern Bavaria, Germany.

The print is applied directly to the natural, undyed organic cotton (90%) and hemp (10%) fabric.

  • Quality brushed, soft and breathable fabric, made of hemp and organic cotton

Their clothes are not the cheapest but they look and feel great and I think they will stand the test of time, no problem. Thanks for great and speedy service!”, CS
“Beautiful quality t-shirts at a very reasonable price, excellent service and quick delivery. Thank you! Will definitely be placing more orders in the future :)”, ME
“Excellent selection of Bamboo clothing, ethically sourced.
My Son normally only wears 100% bamboo, however he is really impressed with Of The Ocean’s bamboo/ cotton mix t-shirts.
I bought the Atlantic grey and the white, and was pleased that they are exactly as shown in the photographs.
I had a glitch checking out, PayPal was on the Fritz, and hadn’t noticed that the checkout hadn’t gone through because I was in a Christmas shopping frenzy
Of the oceans contacted me via email just to check that I had noticed that check our hadn’t actually gone through, for which I am very grateful as I had just ticked it off my list and moved on to the next shop.
Once I had checked out properly they dispatched really quickly and I managed to get them in plenty of time for Christmas.
I have passed the details onto my son so he can shop there directly, although I think I will pop back myself to peruse what interesting things they have for his birthday.”, TG
“The shirts are high quality, ecologically packaged, fit the description. We had to wait for them to arrive because the staff were on holiday, hence four stars not five.”, TH

To get the perfect fit, we recommend:

  • Look in your wardrobe for a similar piece of clothing – one where you’re happy with the fit.
  • Lay it down flat and take the measurements shown in the diagram above.
  • Compare those measurements with our size guide.

The actual measurements of a “large” hoodie, or a “medium” t-shirt, can vary significantly between different manufacturers – this method helps you get the right fit first time.

Caring for your garment

A big chunk of the environmental impact a garment has occurs once it’s in your hands. These guidelines not only ensure that your garment will last, but also help to keep the planet cool.

  • Only wash when it really needs it. This saves energy, water, your time and extends its life.
  • When it’s ready for a wash, turn it inside out. This reduces the abrasion on the outside of the garment, and helps it to keep looking crisp for longer.
  • Wash at 30 degrees. Yep, I know, we wash colours at 40 right? Well, there’s no need – it’ll look and smell just great when washed at 30deg (as will most of your clothes!). It’ll also help to cut your electricity bill too – winner!
  • Line dry after washing. Hot washing and tumble drying can effect the dimensional stability and can cause fading of the colours.

Environmental

The clothes industry is a particularly dirty industry – we’re trying to do things in a better way!

None of our clothes contain polyester, nylon, or any other unsustainable man-made fibres, ensuring that micro plastics don’t end up in the sea. But that’s just the start. Below is a list of credentials that this product adheres to:

Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)

The Global Organic Textile Standard certifies that part of the material used in this fabric is organic. In this case 90% of the fabric is cotton and is certified as organic. But what about the 10% hemp? Hemp grows like a weed and natually doesn’t require any pesticides or other polluting chemicals. Click the GOTS logo below to find out more about their certification process, or visit our blog to see why we think hemp is the wonder fabric we need.
