From the page: "Because Crailar (the hemp-derived fabric) shrinks far less during production than cotton, its final cost is closer to regular cotton than organic cotton, which is 60 percent more expensive than its conventional counterpart.

And considering that hemp grows faster and requires less water than cotton, the plusses keep adding up. "
