While I don't want to sound too heavily promotional, I'd just like to say that we do indeed make Hemp Kilts. And jackets, shirts, hats and more to come.

The idea originally hit us while travelling overland from Thailand through Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Tibet and finally Nepal and after a couple of years R and D, trial and error, and general hair-pulling and frustration we now have a small but growing business. The technology side is based in Australia, production in Thailand.

We use three different types of hemp cloth, which we get direct from the Hmong hilltribes people who reside in the golden triangle area. Along with various temperate climate fruits, coffee, tea, etc... this cash crop helps them get away from their reliance on opium as a source of livelihood.

Our main model (the HILT) is a very reasonable $100 and each one's made to measure.

I could go on and on about how great Hemp is and the previous post about the US Govt's suppression of hemp thanks to DuPont's money is all very well documented. Industrial hemp has the tiniest trace amount of THC - so little that it's been said you'd have to smoke a whole field just to raise a smile.

We're currently in the process of upgrading and revamping our website with loads more pix and some new products on the way.

I'll let y'all know when this happens but in the meantime thanks for your time and if you have any questions regarding hemp or the HILT then please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Yours truly,

Adam Florance
