Our Men’s Bamboo Hoodie is the perfect gift for Spring. Made from Bamboo, Organic Cotton and a touch of Spandex. Our bamboo hoodie is lighter, softer and better fitting than the traditional bulky and shapeless hoodies you’re used to. This hoodie fits closer to the body…as in European cut…which adds a touch of style. Lightweight does not mean this won’t keep you warm though….Bamboo clothing is a great insulator on those cold days!

Hey friends and family!

Well, we’ve been promising some new product for awhile now and it’s finally here! Whew! What a few crazy few months getting vendors lined up to supply us with amazing bamboo clothing, tweaking the website, getting the word out, etc. But the fun part was the photo shoot! It went really well and we had a lot of laughs!  We shot in a random office building in Dearborn, it was a giant space and took forever to warm up, I almost resorted to busting out the hair dryer on the models so their hands didn’t look blue in the pictures.  Haha, I’m slightly exaggerating..but it was chilly.  Many thanks to Liz Hurley, Erin Welsh, Christofer Jablonski and everyone else who made it a great day! And a special thanks to Starbucks for making hot drinks for us.

Check out our video promo from the photo shoot. I think you’ll agree these girls make our bamboo clothing look even better!

Bamboo Styles is a clothing store that carries men’s and women’s clothing made from bamboo fiber.

Bamboo clothing is so relatively new that, there isn’t a single consensus in the industry on how to best care for it. Look at your tags from various companies and you may see all sorts of washing instructions, and all for the same fabric! Why? Well, for starters, it really depends on what the company is trying to achieve, and who the customer is. For example, if a customer of Bamboo Styles’ is a male athlete in his early 20’s, and uses his shirts for training, we highly doubt he will take the time to “wash cold, line dry”. If he were to wash the bamboo shirt on warm and then throw it into the dryer, the shirt will turn out fine, but it may shrink and it just won’t last as long. If he’s ok with that, then so are we. However, we typically recommend the following care based on our own experience and the feedback from our customers. If you have your own experience and would like to offer more info on this subject, please feel free to post a comment!

Wash cold and line dry. Warm iron if needed but do not use the steam setting. 

Why?

Washing cold: It is the most gentle on your bamboo clothes and gentler on the planet as far as energy usage goes. Cold water will get your bamboo just as clean as hot water.

Line dry: Again, better for the planet. No dryer, no energy usage. Also, depending on whether or not your bamboo shirt has been pre-washed, expect some shrinkage if you put it into the dryer. If you don’t care about energy usage or shrinking, you can use the dryer, but we recommend drying with other bamboo clothes only. Bamboo clothing pulls moisture from other cotton clothes and will take double the time to dry.

No steam iron: It is fine to iron your bamboo on a low setting, but if you use steam you will run the risk of “spitting” water. This leaves a discolored water stain on your shirt until the next time you wash it.

We hope this helps. Tell your friends about bamboo! For more info, please visit our website section on bamboo clothing care.

Our bamboo polos ($34) make a great gift for the man in your life! We’ve blended this shirt with Organic Cotton so that it is still light and soft, but it is also structured enough to wear just about anywhere. Some of our recommended uses for this bamboo polo with chest pocket include:

Golfing: Bamboo polos make a great addition to any golfer’s wardrobe. It provides the comfort of a soft cotton shirt, but with the performance attributes of a poly-tech fiber. Soft, light and moisture wicking bamboo clothing will help keep your mind off the heat and back in the game!

Sailing/Boating: For all of the same reasons above AND these bamboo polos come in awesome nautical colors.

Day traveling: Need something cool while you sight-see but don’t want to give the host country the impression that Americans are bums? Stay cool in the heat and look good at the same time!
