No! It's a common misconception that Hemp clothes are itchy. This is not the case. Hemp is tough stuff (8 X stronger than cotton) but it's as soft on your skin as it is on mother nature.

You could. But it would not get you high. Cannabis, Hops and Hemp are all plants from the Sativa family. One is great for smoking, one is great for making beer and one is great for making clothes (and generally saving the world).

Rood Hemp comes from China where you can find the very best Hemp in the world. Our supplier is fully solar powered, socially conscious, organic and generally pretty awesome. You can find out more about them here. Our long term goal is to one day also grow some of our own Hemp here in the UK.

Hemp is 8x times stronger than cotton so it should last you a good old time.

It can be washed at 40, but it's better for the environment if you wash it at 30.

You can iron it, if you have time and inclination.

You can dry clean it, if that's your vibe.

Hemp is also natuarlly anti-bacterial and odur resistant, so you can wear it more and wash it less.

We do advise it is kept away from tumeric and lillies in bloom.

Rood is an old English word for measure of land equal to a quarter acre. Henry VIII made it law for all farmers to grow at least 1 rood of Hemp to support the sail and rope industries of the day.

Henry, Tom & Melodie design and test wear all the Rood products before bringing them to our customers. Sock prototypes are then sent to our fabulous partners in China. Everything else goes to our factory in London to be hand cut and stitched by fifth generation makers.

Really sustainable. Hemp is a fully organic crop that uses no pesticides and a fraction of the water needed for cotton. It is carbon negative and actually improves the soil in which it is planted. Pretty impressive! We also offset all the air and travel miles created in the production and delivery process, meaning the t-shirt you're (hopefully) about to buy is fully carbon neutral.

Yes. Hemp makes incredible high quality denim that will be perfect for jeans and jackets. But we are not selling them yet. As well as Rood denim we are working on Rood shoes, Rood sheets and even Rood Roll (paper). But it all starts here, in underwear...

Not exactly. But we do have a studio in Camberwell though. Come on down and have a Hemp pancake.

We sure can. Just chose the gift wrapping and message option on check out and we'll deliver presents directly to your friends.

Sure thing. Just make sure you returned the item to us within 14 days fully intact and untampered with. But remember that we are still a small business trying to stay sustainable, so please bare that in mind before pulling the trigger!

Of course. Postage will be at standard supplier rates.
