Hemp Can Save The Planet 1988 Vintage Men’s T-Shirt

Description

Hemp is a botanical class of Cannabis Sativa cultivars grown specifically for industrial and consumable use that was first spun into usable fiber 50,000 years ago. Along with bamboo, hemp is one of the fastest growing plants on Earth, and also like bamboo, hemp be used to make a wide range of environmentally friendly products. It can be refined into a variety of commercial items, including paper, rope, textiles, clothing, biodegradable plastics, paint, insulation, biofuel, food, and animal feed. Despite hemp’s limitless applications, the plant was first struck down by the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, and then became a victim of the ’70s ‘war on drugs’ in America due to its association with marijuana. The ’80s saw a resurgence in pro-hemp activism, pushing to legalize the plants for their ecological benefits. Those ’80s kids would have to wait a few decades for something to happen, but it finally did with the passing of the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 that legalized hemp as a crop that farmers could grow and harvest like any other crop.

Sizing

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.

All sizes are provided in inches!
