Inspired by descriptions of clothing in my favorite fantasy novels and antique homespun workwear. The Alec shirt has a high collar and full bishop sleeves to evoke that high fantasy romance. It sits gently over the shoulders and features a hemline common in turn of the century working mens clothes. The hemline cut longer in the back helps to keep your shirt tucked in!

The shirt is pictured here in the Natural Undyed color. The last image is the blouse machine washed and dried for shrink reference.

The hemp is woven with a longer staple fiber so it washes just like antique handwoven linen. This longer fiber also gives it a longer lifespan! Like a lot of less lightly processed cellulose fibers, the hemp can start life feeling a little bit stiff. As you wash and wear it the material will relax and soften! It’s woven from the fiber in the stalks of plants, much like linen, so it feels very similar. The best thing about this new material is that, apart from it’s longer lifespan as a garment, it takes half as much water to produce as linen materials, and a quarter as much water as cotton! This means it’s much more environmentally friendly!
