Episode 10 - we talk about how amazing hemp is and the sustainable fashion industry
Episode Ten – Gav Lawson THTC
Gav Lawson started as a DJ and admirer of the plant cannabis whilst studying in Bristol many years ago – which then turned into a hemp fashion brand that we all know and love called THTC (The Hemp Trading Company).
THTC is an ethically driven clothing label. They produce eco-friendly and politically conscious street wear, made from hemp, carbon-neutral organic cotton, and recycled salvage plastic fibres. Planted by the Lawson brothers back in 1999, THTC was watered with urban music, and fed with a love of life and street culture. THTC has since grown into an influential global street-wear brand, with a flourishing online community.
We sit down, drink hemp tea and talk about the music scene, the artist Mau Mau, the implications of being a pioneer eco fashion brand and of course the cannabis plant and the theories that surround its legality. Did you know that one of Henry Ford’s first cars was made of hemp plastic, the first Levis jeans were hemp and the canopy of a wagon was also made from the cannabis plant? THTC is also passionate about the environment, conservation, activism and they have invested in helping orangutans, rainforest conservation, the ocean and many other causes.
Adam also confesses to sampling (research of course) the ‘McVegan’ in a Swedish McDonalds…YIKES!
