Bamboo shirts fabric is a naturally odor-resistant and anti-bacterial material. It also wicks away sweat, keeping you dry and fresh longer. This makes it perfect for summers and workout sessions like yoga or workout.

It is a natural fiber that can be dyed at the yarn and fabric stage, giving it a soft look and feel that looks and feels like cotton but with a more sustainable environmental impact. It is also a great insulator, ensuring you stay warm in winter and cool in summer.

How it is made

Bamboo is a regenerated cellulosic fiber that is processed to make it into rayon. Most of the world’s bamboo rayon is produced by soaking the crushed bamboo in sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) to break down cellulose. This process is highly toxic to both the workers and the environment unless it’s done properly in a closed-loop production process.

There’s also a less environmentally harmful method for producing rayon, called lyocell. This technique uses a closed-loop production method that recycles all the chemicals used and reduces water waste to a minimum.

Why You Should Consider Adding Bamboo Shirts to Your Wardrobe

Washing your clothes with gentle cycle, cold or lukewarm water and line drying instead of machine drying will help them retain their shape, color, and stretch for a longer time. Avoid chemical additives such as perfume, hair dyes, and nail polish remover as they can damage the material.

Bamboo shirts keep you cool and dry thanks to their microscopic holes that allow air to permeate through the fibers. This helps regulate your body temperature and keeps you 3 degrees cooler than cotton in summers and noticeably warmer during cold weather.
