Hemp denim vest – production details, threads, fabrics

Hemp fabric doubled to achieve heavy weight. The fabric remains soft to the touch, but strongly textured by a pattern typical of a 1970s garment.

Hemp denim vest: finishing details

The different panel construction of this hemp denim vest is highlighted by the raw seams. The rough texture of the hemp denim contrasts with the brass cufflinks, handmade in Italy. The product features two front pockets. The collar, armholes and bottom hemp are secured with a cotton stitching.

Prototipo Studio: a brand and a research laboratory

Prototipo Studio is a brand and a research laboratory that finds its starting point from a natural, vegetable fiber: hemp. Until the mid-20th century, Italy was perhaps the world leading producer of hemp. The advent of synthetic fibers and the high costs of hemp processing caused the use of the plant in textiles to disappear.
