Candidly, I don't know much about the sustainability of hemp versus the many varieties of cotton, so I will defer. That said, it's not clear to me that sustainability will be the ultimate decider for what textile people use. People need to want to wear a garment because it provides the qualities they desire, which is largely look and feel. To me, hemp looks and feels like linen, which has largely lost out to cotton as a material of choice. As such, it's not clear to me that hemp will be more desirable than cotton. Now, again, maybe hemp really is the best material for some application like upholstery or bags, but I've never heard a good argument for that, which is why I'm asking. As far as wool, it has very different characteristics from plant fibers. It felts; it can be warm or cool; it insulates when wet. People in cold climates use wool and other animal textiles for a reason and I don't see how they will be easily supplanted. Anyway, my point is not to argue that hemp is bad. Really, outside of the environmental factors, where would I want to use hemp apart from linen, cotton, or wool?
