“Love the fabric, but not a fan of the fit.
Fabric:
This is the lightest weight non-polyester t-shirt I own. After reading Onno's material guide, I expected this hemp tee to be similar in weight or even heavier than my cotton school tees, freebie race tees, and even Fair Indigo's supima cotton tees, but it's about half their weight which is a lovely option for hiking! The feel reminds me of my linen shirts, which I'm also quite happy with. And I love the colors! Ordered slate and steel blue although I wanted all of them.
Fit:
The fit is for women 5'6" or taller with average to wide shoulders whom also prefer a fitted cut. I am none of those at 5'3" with narrow shoulders, and preferring a loose fit to balance my curvy lower half. I'm quite pear-shaped with a narrow upper body, so I like looser tops with generous sleeves to balance it all. So unfortunately the shoulders are too wide, the top half drops a bit low, the body too form-fitting, and the sleeves are smaller than flattering.
Sizing:
Sizing runs a tad small. I am usually an xs or small, so I ordered both sizes. The xs is too tight through the body but only a tad wide in the shoulders. The small was just a bit tighter than I prefer but quite wide shoulders. A medium probably
would be the best fit through the body but I'm sure the neck and shoulders would be huge.
5'3" 30C, size 0 or xs/s”
“At first, I loved these hemp shirts, but after two washes, I am disappointed in the quality. I washed them on a cold cycle and hung them to dry, but two of my shirts have hems coming unthreaded. These shirts are super pricey, but I invested in them thinking they would last years. Unfortunately, I don't think that is the case. Additionally, they tend to stretch out quite noticeably by the end of the day. Since you can't put them in the dryer, this is really no way to get them to regain their shape.”
