Do you wear bamboo clothes?  | | | |  I just received a shirt made of bamboo fiber as a gift. It is amazingly soft and beautiful. It feels a lot like silk or cashmere.
Apparently Bamboo fiber is breathable, wicks moisture better than cotton, is ultra-absorbant and fast-drying. There is a an agent in bamboo fiber called 'bamboo kun' which is said to give cloth natural anti-bacterial deodorant properties. Fabrics that are 100% bamboo have an SPF of approximately 14.
I love all of this and plan to look into buying more bamboo clothing. The bamboo plant reaches maturity in about 3 years and is one of the world's most sustainable plants. It is actually a tropical grass (not a tree) with an extensive root system and grows to heights of 60 feet or more. Some species grow up to 4 feet per day. It can be grown without pesticides.
Bamboo has been used for many things for centuries now, my personal favorite is handmade paper. Now the bamboo pulp can be extruded into fiber for use in yarn and fabric. Oh the possibilites.
My gift was purchased at www.ShirtsOfBamboo.com. Can you recommend any other places to buy bamboo clothes and fabrics?

| |  Well, I learned something new this morning. I didn't even know that there were clothes made from bamboo! I'm going to have to search the internet and see if I can find some other sites that sell them. This is truly fascinating...thanks for the info!!

| |  I had heard a snippet of information about bamboo fiber being used in clothing but had not heard of anyone actually having a piece of clothing made of bamboo. I think that it is awesome! I may have to try a piece myself. I found this site, which claims to be the orginal manufacturer of bamboo clothing:

| |  I took a look at the site and those t-shirts are exactly my style. They look so soft too! I have never worn bamboo and I am glad you shared this information, the feel of material is most important for me. It looks almost like it feels silky. I will certainly be making a purchase and I will be on the lookout for more of this material. I like organic materials, but I hate hemp. I purchased hemp sheets once, the material is durable but not as soft as I like cotton to feel.

| |  This is really great , well 'makingpots' where do you live, from where you got that ? Here in India, there are persons of a particular religion community, who wear clothes made from the bark coverings of some specific trees. They are known as 'Kumbhapatias' , they worship some thing that does not have any form. Please share the information and be my friend, thanks.

| |  I do not wear those but Ive seen some people wearing them on festivals. THose must be heavy and would cause a feeling of uneasiness in me. But if its just made out from bamboo fiber, I think they are pretty cool. I am not sure if there are clothes like that here in manila but I will try to check it out.

| | It is made into really soft fiber before the clothes are made out of it. Really wonderful stuff. I will buy more of it someday. | | | | | | | Quality Cashmere Products Scarves, Sweaters, Robes, Coats, Throws, Blankets & More www.cashmereboutique.com | add comment | | | |
