    And on the other hand, growing cotton uses a lot of water. And wool comes from animals.

    What actually is the greenest material to make garments of?

      I think hemp would be the best material for clothes, but in most places it’s still an illegal plant.

      Someone already suggested hemp, but there is also other fibres like linen.

      At the end of the day clothing would not be an issue at all, if clothes were made to last and worn accordingly. Unless you work in blue collar jobs, the wear on clothes is minimal and there is no reason why a set of shirts shouldn’t last you a decade.
