Bamboo clothing for people who are hard on their clothes

Short answer: With hard use it is the construction and not the fibre that decides the lifespan. Reinforced seams, wide waistbands and more pieces in rotation are the answer.

Construction rather than fibre

Seams, edges and waistbands give up before the fabric. Look at them before you buy. See bamboo underwear for men.

Reinforced heel and toe

In socks that is the only detail that really decides the lifespan under hard use. See all bamboo socks for men.

More in rotation

If each piece is worn half as often, it lasts twice as long. That is cheaper than buying more expensive. See bamboo T-shirts for men.

Wash cooler

Hard use plus hot washing is a poor combination. 40 degrees and low heat. See washing and care.

Repair early

A loose seam sewn straight away holds. One left to run does not. See bamboo underwear for women.
