Bamboo Clothing, bamboo towels and shirts of bamboo.
Clothing manufactured from bamboo fabric is luxuriously soft, highly absorbent and naturally antimicrobial. Most people when first hearing about the bamboo clothing being such an incredible garment, tend to express their surprise or even disbelief. Those who have tried on bamboo shirts, bamboo towels or the bamboo tee shirts however, became instantaneous fans of this exotic fabric. One golfer in Florida commented “shoot, my $30 bamboo polo shirt is more refreshing than my $85 designer polo shirt”. What this golfer and many others do not realize is that bamboo clothing have this amazing property of wicking away the moisture from skin and evaporating it in a split second in the hot humid weather. This quality of the bamboo fabric combined with its natural softness gives the wearer a refreshingly cool feeling unlike any other natural clothing or even organic cotton clothing, hemp clothing including the most expensive silk or designer polo shirts. And, there is more to the benefits of this venerable plant. Bamboo has the properties which make it one of the most environmentally friendly plants that can help heal the ecological bruises inflicted upon planet earth by the mankind.
Bamboo is totally self reliant grass (no, it’s not a tree!) that thrives naturally without the use of pesticides, fertilizers or any help from man. Due to its extraordinary quality of water absorbency, bamboo is known to be the fastest growing plant in the world. Some species of the bamboo grow as mush as 20 to 40 feet high in a matter of few months and reaching full maturity in 3 to 4 years. It spreads rapidly across large areas and is known to improve soil quality in degraded and eroded areas of land. In the long run this natural process can help preserve the well being of the planet, as well as contributing to the healthy environment for future generations. If bamboo clothing becomes popular, it will lead to the cultivation of more bamboo plantations, which means more photosynthesis and less greenhouse gas. In other words, the greatest environmental challenge facing the mankind and the planet earth (namely global warming) could become less of a problem simply by a popular pastime, shopping!! Now that was an oversimplification of a complex issue, wasn't it? Well, all humor aside, bamboo has and continues to make up for some of the damage caused by the deforestation. Seriously folks, there is a great need to plant trees even if all of us were buying bamboo clothing, organic cotton tee shirts or hemp clothing all day long. Keep in mind however, that part of your purchase proceeds on shirts of bamboo, bamboo sport towels and or bamboo bath towels at our online store are contributed towards the ecological needs of this planet through Ecofabrik's membership in the "1% for the planet" organization. So, in a very small but direct manner, you are contributing towards the benefit of the planet Earth by shopping with Ecofabrik.
While bamboo clothing has started headlines in the recent yers, bamboo has been around for thousands of years being used extensively for hundreds of things in China and other Asian countries. However, it has only recently been introduced to the West in the form of flooring material and as a wearable fabric. Due to the patented manufacturing technology, we will never know the exact process, however, manufacturers claim, that the processed bamboo retains most of its unique and remarkable properties as a fabric. Contrary to the claims of Chinese manufacturers, experts at the US Customs and other government agencies believe that some chemicals are in fact used when converting bamboo pulp into the cellulose fiber that is used to manufacture bamboo yarn. US Customs, therefore, has designated Bamboo as "man made fiber" instead of natural fiber. That controversy aside, bamboo clothing has remarkable properties that contribute towards the planet earth's ecological needs. As a wearable fabric, the same above average water absorbency property that makes bamboo fastest growing plant, lends itself to bamboo fabric's cooling quality. Bamboo Shirts wick away moisture in fabric form and keep the wearer comfortable & dry even in the most humid climates. Bamboo Clothing is 3 to 4 times more absorbent than synthetic fabric or cotton clothing and helps lift up the moisture from the body which then evaporates keeping you naturally drier and more comfortable. Bamboo clothing and shirts of bamboo are remarkably soft and breathable. In hot & humid weather, bamboo tee shirt is naturally cool to the touch and this property is also maintained in its fabric form. With its unparalleled micro-structure of the bamboo fiber, bamboo clothing helps absorb and evaporate human sweat more efficiently than most other fabrics, synthetic or non synthetic for that matter. We want to let our customers know that you will find out that your bamboo t-shirts and Bamboo Polo Shirts will not stick to the skin when you are playing golf, working in your backyard or inside the house on a hot summer day. Amazingly, the same structural property that keeps it cool in hot weather, lends itself to making the Bamboo clothing warm in the cold weather. Another set of great products made of this amazing fabric is bamboo bath towels, bamboo golf towels and bamboo sport towels. Some of our customers have told us that they have become addicted to their bamboo towels to the point that they will never go back to the ordinary cotton towels. If you really want to pamper yourself, try the bamboo bath towels and you will see for yourself what kind of addiction our customers are talking about.
Just as bamboo thrives naturally without the use of any pesticides or fertilizers and is seldom eaten by the pests or infected by pathogens, it carries over this anti-bacterial quality to its fabric form. Manufacturers claim that bamboo owns a unique antibacterial and bacteriostasis bio agent named “Bamboo Kun”. This substance is said to bond tightly with bamboo cellulose molecules during the normal process of bamboo fiber growth and this natural feature is again retained by the bamboo clothing in the fabric form. This property lends itself to making the bamboo clothing anti-bacterial giving it an excellent deodorization value and naturally hygienic. Tests conducted by the Japanese Textile Inspection Association concluded that bamboo fabric retained this property even after the garment was washed at least fifty times. However, the technical data regarding these claims have not been verified by an analytical lab in the USA and therefore, its verasity remains debatable. However, irregardless of the complexity of the technical data, the simple fact remains that bamboo is an earth easy plant that is known to have slowed down the soil erosion in vast areas of land in China. Bamboo also has the potential to significantly contribute to making up for some of the damage done by deforestation. You might have heard that bamboo clothing,bamboo bath towels and shirts of bamboo or other garments are unbelievably soft and must be wondering that where this quality comes from. Well, unlike most other fibers, at a microscopic level bamboo fiber is claimed to have a rounded and smooth surface. Because of this, the manufacturers claim, bamboo clothing and shirts of bamboo fabric are very smooth and sit perfectly next to the skin. Petroleum based synthetic fibers and conventionally grown cotton textiles on the other hand, can some times irritate the skin and also start to smell really quickly.
All these properties make the bamboo clothing, bamboo bath towels , bamboo shirts, bamboo golf shirts and bamboo night shirts , luxuriously comfortable, naturally soft and so hygienic that it should stay fresher in any climate and weather conditions. Keep in mind that bamboo clothing's natural antibacterial function differs greatly from that of man made chemical antimicrobial sprayed on and chemically infusion processes which may cause skin problems. We hope that you will be delighted with our Bamboo clothing in general but the bamboo boxers will change your opinion to pure joy and sheer delight. You might be wondering how in the world you did not know about this amazing fabric all these years.
