Resource-efficient by nature.
Hemp requires considerably less water to cultivate than cotton. Choosing it at the start of the supply chain lowers a shirt's footprint before weaving begins.
Hemp menswear shirting
Considered shirts woven from hemp, a resource-efficient fibre chosen for comfort, durability and a longer life in the wardrobe.
Our position
A shirt's footprint is largely decided before it is cut. Orré begins with the fibre: hemp , a resource-efficient crop with the strength to outlast fashion cycles.
Strength, with a refined hand.
As a long bast fibre, hemp produces durable yarn. Woven into classic shirting constructions, it gives cloth with structure, breathability and a natural texture that softens with wear.
Designed for longevity.
We cut for years of wear rather than seasons of trend. A shirt that stays in use is the most meaningful measure of sustainability.
Water use
A fraction of the water.
Cotton is among the most water-intensive crops in apparel. Hemp requires substantially less, which is the principal environmental advantage we build on.
Illustrative scale. Sourced per-garment figures will be published before launch.
The collection
Quiet pieces, honestly made.
Shirts designed around the cloth: restrained in colour, precise in cut and made in small runs.
The cloth
Classic constructions, in hemp.
Hemp can be woven into the same constructions as traditional shirting. We are developing five weaves, in 100% hemp and in blends with Tencel and cotton.
Plain
Even, crisp and breathable: the foundational shirting surface.
Twill
A fine diagonal rib with greater drape and a softer hand.
Oxford
A basket-weave texture suited to the everyday button-down.
Herringbone
A broken-twill zigzag with understated depth.
Seersucker
Puckered stripes that sit away from the skin in warm weather.
Blends under evaluation100% hempHemp + TencelHemp + cotton
Weights (GSM) and blends are being finalised.
