Hemp Jersey (Kelp)
£38.00
Made from 55% hemp and 45% organic cotton, this jersey has a wonderful feel and texture.
Hemp is not only one of the best fibres for the environment, but you might be surprised that this light-weight jersey is warmer than you’d imagine on cooler days. It’s also quite cool on warmer days – that’s the wonder of hemp! The fibres are hollow, insulating you against the cold and the warmth.

Customer Reviews
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

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:
Organic Content Standard
The “Organic Content Standard – Blended” (OCS) certifies that part of the material used in this fabric is organic. In this case 45% of the fabric is cotton and is certified as organic. But what about the 55% hemp? Hemp grows like a weed and natually doesn’t require any pesticides or other polluting chemicals. Click the OCS 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.
Fair Wear Standard
The Fair Wear Foundation is a non-profit organisation with the mission to “see a world where the garment industry supports workers in realising their rights to safe, dignified, properly paid employment”. The manufacturer of this product is certified to the Fair Wear standard. Click on the Fair Wear logo below for more detailed information.
Fabric
The fabric used in this garment is a blend of 55% hemp and 45% organic cotton.
Hemp is naturally antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial. It has excellent moisture wicking properties and due to the fact the fibre is hollow, it insulates you against the heat in the summer and cold in the winter.
Hemp fibres are 4 to 5 times stronger than cotton. Whilst 100% hemp fabrics are great, they do have a similar feel to linen – not the softest. Organic cotton, however, is super soft. This blend of 55% hemp and 45% organic cotton gives the best compromise between strength and feel.
Hemp is similar to linen in that it has nubs and slubs in the weave – these are slight imperfections in the cloth that give hemp, and hence your garment, it’s own unique character.
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.
