• One True Pants: Anniversary and Wake

    We’ve done it. The process has taken every bit of tensile strength OTP could muster. But the day has come. It’s official. OneTruePants are dead. Long live OneTruePants. At midnight tonight it will have been 365 days that the same pair of hemp pants have adorned my blessed lower half. (Heroic music begins as OTP [...]

  • OTP Over the Hill

    The end of this glorious experiment is certainly in site. But don’t cry for me. I do have another pair of pants around somewhere (I’m sure of it. Pretty sure at least.) For those of you keeping up on Facebook or Twitter I hope you are still enjoying the madness, and I will carry on [...]

  • OTP hitting their stride

    It has been almost 75 days of continuous wear for the onetruepants.  More importantly they have endured 11 machine washings.  I personally have only endured two, but that was enough for me.  Well, maybe one more… but I usually take the OTP off before washing them. After just shy of a dozen washings I feel [...]

Will hemp every be legal in U.S.?

Recently the struggle to legalize industrial hemp has seemed to be overshadowed by the spread of medicinal marijuana.  As mom and pop medicinal dispensaries opened up all over states like Colorado and Montana during 2009 and 2010 organizations, individuals and state governments have quietly been pushing for the right to plant, grow transport and manufacture [...]

otp proto2

One True Pants second reincarnation

Finally the otp proto2 has arrived! And they are spanking hot.  The new fabric has a much tighter weave and better drape.  It is stiff for sure. I am anticipating the pants finding a comfortable wear level after the first 5 or 6 washes. A few small changes were made in the pattern as well. [...]

Hemp bast fibers: Getting to the core of it

When it comes to using hemp for textiles the plant’s bast fibers are somewhat a treasure waiting to be unlocked.  The potential length, up to several feet, and strength of the fibers is what makes them so attractive for commercial use in clothing and accessories of all sorts.
