Mountain Khakis Builds Hemp Hype for Spring/Summer 2019
June 12, 2018
MK Committed to Sustainable Eco-Friendly Hemp Materials
JACKSON HOLE, WY (June 12, 2018) – Mountain Khakis®, the leading mountain town-inspired lifestyle apparel brand for men and women, introduces several new styles for Spring/Summer 2019 featuring sustainable, comfortable, breathable, antimicrobial and moisture-wicking hemp-blend fabrics.
The new Women’s Sydney Series, Men’s Hutch Polo and Men’s Humidor Shirt all boast material made from the eco-friendly hemp plant, which requires no pesticides, produces more oxygen than most trees, is 4 times stronger than conventional cotton and can be cultivated in as little as 100 days.
“Incorporating hemp fabrics into our product line has been a short and long-term development goal,” commented Ned Hutchinson, Mountain Khakis lead product designer. “The challenge with any fabric is getting a finished product that meets Mountain Khakis standards for comfort, style and durability. We found the sweet spot by blending hemp with other fibers, including organic cotton to create buttery soft, breathable pieces that are perfect for warmer weather and better for the planet.”
Women’s Sydney Series
The Sydney Tank Dress, Tank and Short Sleeve shirt are saving the world, one comfortable afternoon on the back porch at a time. Blending organic cotton and hemp for an ultra-soft, sustainable fabric, the Sydney series combines that magic into three summer-cozy styles to cover the week’s chill scene. The strappy Tank Dress and Tank feature an A-line silhouette, while the Short Sleeve Shirt features a self-fabric chest accent panel and loose, flowy silhouette. All are flirty, fun and comfortable. Relaxed fit. 3.5oz 70% organic cotton, 30% hemp.
