Organic hemp shirts and clothing. Sustainable by design. Superior by nature. We Make Hemp Handsome, in the USA.
{Parallel Revolution} We’re two guys who decided to make smart apparel using environmentally sound materials. By changing our own actions, we’re hoping to inspire others to do the same. Since 2010, we’ve been working to provide what you see today: a new quality line of hemp-based clothing, predominately designed and manufactured in the USA. With every sustainable garment we produce, we keep 2 parallel principles in mind:
That all humans strive to do the right thing.
If presented an opportunity, they’ll likely act in parallel fashion.
Breathable, quick-wicking and made from 55% organic hemp & 45% organic cotton, they're a favorite among many. Available online in all the colors you see here!www.pararev.com

Waterfront Woven: Breathes like cotton, authentically constructed like a man, has the simple yet shocking taste of black coffee, and gives you enough of a rush to get a little pep in your step.
Are we speaking of you?
Well if the shirt fits, by all means wear it.

Irish pirates stole Saint Patrick away from his British homestead, so we thought this picture was pretty fitting. Cheers to interesting history, hemp history in the making, and St. Patrick!
[NOT] ROCKET SCIENCE | Why is hemp stronger than cotton? Simply put: cotton clothing is made from the little hairs of the cotton seed. Hemp clothing is made from the long bast fibers collected from the inner skin of the stem. (Photo: hemp processing, Kentucky, 1920's)
HEMP: KING OF FIBER (part 1)
Earth's Most Controversial Plant
Hemp: the most controversial plant grown on this planet, at least from the perspective of human beings. Specifically, the humans inhabiting the United States of America, but by all means, not all of them. In fact, its been a banner year for hemp in a number of states -- 33 to be exact (at the time of writing this) -- 15 of which are suitable to participate in the new pilot program to grow industrial hemp. What does this mean for Parallel Revolution? We're one step closer to being able to source our hemp fabric from American farmers, which is pretty damn cool. In the meantime, and especially because it's Hemp History Week, let's take a closer look.
The Big News
After nearly 60 years, the United States government is beginning to let go of its vice grip on industrial hemp agriculture. With the passing of the Farm Bill, signed into law by President Obama on February 7th of 2014, an amendment included in the bill “allows State Agriculture Departments, colleges and universities to grow hemp.” Equally as important, this amendment marks the first time in American history in which the government, legally, has defined the distinction between industrial hemp and drug varieties of Cannabis – a long overdue admission to say the least.
Reflections On Anti-hemp Behavior
Why have we spent so much time fighting one of nature’s most spectacular gifts? To start, the human species is a curious case of life for more reasons than can be addressed in this blog post. At this point it is safe to say – unfortunately – we are the only highly intelligent species inhabiting this planet at the moment. Maybe if another intelligent species existed we could have aggregated our intellect into a sustainable direction forward, but alas. We have escaped the food chain, enslaved it for our benefit, and proceeded to maim the collective landscape for the sake of profitable bottom lines. In the process of achieving this “success,” we've done a considerable amount of damage to just about every resource in existence on earth (and technically, outer space as well).
If we're so smart, how did we end up in this position?
Inappropriate agricultural practices have transformed once lush and fertile land into deserts, leached of nutrients, congested with pesticides and unsuitable for growing much of anything… i.e., dead lands. Furthermore – as part of the whole system – our dissonance with the land has trickled (literally) into the water tables and oceans, compiled by more obvious strains such as overfishing, dumping and commercial modification. So here we are, raped ecology and all, finally understanding the importance of a balanced food supply system. Fortunately, there are ways to mitigate the damage; you guessed it: hemp is one of those ways.
Rowan Robinson, the pseudonym of a hemp expert who wrote The Great Book of Hemp, captures this paradox eloquently:
Sure, protecting the environment sounds great, but it’s not a part of our lives. What’s a clear-cut in Maine or a hole in the ozone over Antarctica got to do with us? But this division between nature and us is a product of our minds, and it is no coincidence that every damage we inflict upon the heavenly body we inhabit is reflected within ourselves. Clear-cuts tear into our forests, and strange new cancers ravage our bodies. Species go extinct, and human sperm counts plummet. Dioxins wash down our waterways and into our bloodstreams. The pesticides on our cotton fields may wash away – but where is away?
Stay tuned for HEMP: KING OF FIBER (part 2) as I dig deeper into the history of hemp and its role in the future of manufacturing, food, shelter and fuel.
