The brand

About Hemptees

Every Hemptees garment is made from 100% hemp, a pure plant fibre, and the Short Sleeve Tee Max is described as GOTS pure organic hemp fabric in a light knitted hemp jersey at 170 gsm. The Hemptees range spans hemp t-shirts in short sleeve, long sleeve and muscle cuts, hemp underwear in midi briefs and boxer briefs, plus home textiles and accessories, with no hemp and cotton blend claimed anywhere.
Hemptees is a Belgian brand based in Ghent, where its hemp pieces are designed and created in the studio. Produced in small batches so sizing may vary slightly between runs, each Hemptees hemp garment can also be collected through local pickup in Ghent.
As a slow fashion label, Hemptees promotes secondhand first and slow fashion second across its timeless hemp clothing. Hemp is a biodegradable fibre that Hemptees grows with no pesticides and little water, and every Hemptees order ships with a mix of wildflower seeds.

Getting It

Where this brand isn't perfect

Straight talk

Where Hemptees isn’t perfect

Check firstGOTS on the cotton, not the company

Hemptees is not GOTS certified as a company, but it uses GOTS certified hemp for its products.

Check firstNot a certified B Corp

Hemptees is not a B Corp. The brand-level labels are thinner than the product-level ones.

Skip it ifWebsite unreachable at research time; no verifiable fibre origin, mill, dye-house or factory disclosure; organic claim not backed by a cited certification; no supplier list.

What the label won’t tell you

The questions sensitive skin actually asks, answered

25 of 26 styles scanned, no sampling 100% plant · 0% synthetic PFAS-free (verified) ✓ read from the live product feed, not the marketing page
Are there hidden chemicals against my skin?

Hemptees is PFAS-free (verified). 25 of 26 styles scanned: zero PFAS, zero formaldehyde, dye process on record: Low-impact / GOTS-certified dyes

Is "sustainable" just greenwashing?

“Eco” and “green” have no legal meaning, and thousands of unverified claims flood the market. We scanned 26 styles from the store’s own product feed and publish a score only at full coverage. We read certificates, not adjectives.
And nothing is hidden: 1 was excluded. Every one is named in the sourcing ledger below.

Is "100% cotton"
actually
100% cotton?

Most “cotton” underwear hides elastane or spandex in the trims. We read the stated fibres on 25 of 26 styles, thread by thread: 100% plant, 0% synthetic.

Will the elastic bring me out in a rash?

Latex and rubber waistbands are a top trigger for contact eczema. Elastic check across the catalogue: No elastane.

Where's it really made,
and by whom?
Named farm and factory
GOTS chain of custodyTraceable back to the cotton

Traceability on record: Not disclosed; factory: Brand self-describes as 'Texas Proud' (implying Texas, USA); manufacturing location not explicitly confirmed. We publish the full sourcing chain and the honest red flags, including where sources conflict.

Am I shedding microplastics onto my body?

Synthetic underwear sheds plastic fibres onto your skin and into the water with every single wash. Hemptees is 100% plant fibre, so there is nothing to shed.

Sources: consumer research on formaldehyde in easy-care fabrics (~9% of people react), PFAS in water- and stain-resistant finishes, and hypoallergenic underwear for eczema and contact dermatitis.

Hemptees markets hemp t-shirts made with organic hemp and cotton and presents itself as a Texas-based (‘Texas Proud’) brand. Beyond the material claim and implied Texas location, it publishes no verifiable sourcing detail: hemp and cotton growing origin, spinning/knitting mills, dye house and factory are all undisclosed, and no supplier list or third-party certification could be confirmed. The brand’s own website (hemptees.shop) was unreachable at the time of research, so only the search-indexed brand description could be used.

Sourcing flags & notes: Website unreachable at research time; no verifiable fibre origin, mill, dye-house or factory disclosure; organic claim not backed by a cited certification; no supplier list.

How it was read: Every product listed in Hemptees' live catalogue is retrieved and its stated fibre composition read individually, from the Hemptees product page, Hemptees' own product data and its material labels. A fibre percentage for Hemptees is published only when 100% of the Hemptees catalogue has been read. Items Hemptees sells that carry no clothing textile, such as gift cards, packaging, jewellery and homeware, are excluded from the percentage rather than counted as a pass or a fail.

Why excluded: These are the items Hemptees sells that carry no clothing textile to rate: gift cards, packaging and returns kits, jewellery, homeware, toys, body care and checkout line items. Hemptees' fibre percentage leaves them out rather than counting them as a pass or a fail.
