More information about the garment
• As the hemp fabric Lichen Goods uses is raw and rustic, it can feel a little stiff at first, but it softens significantly as soon as you start wearing it.
• Also the hemp pieces can stretch a little bit (max. 5%, depending on the use), and they will recover the original measurements after washing.
• There can also be some small imperfections in the weave of the hemp fabric, but this doesn’t effect it's performance and adds to it’s character.
• With the natural dyes there can be small differences between colours and some unevenness in places as it is a hand-dyed process.
• It is recommend to keep the naturally dyed garments out of direct sunlight as they can be sensitive to the light (some more than others for example the cutch & madder or Indigo).
• Natural dye colours will evolve and change with time and use.
