Imperium Fiber
Outerwear,
Warmer for Less
Hemp/wool fabric and yarn for jackets, outer layers, and cold-weather outfits that usually default to wool, with the same warmth story at a better cost.
Wool Performance at a Hemp/Wool Price
Jackets, overshirts, and warm outer layers still lean on wool for insulation, strength, and hand. A hemp/wool blend keeps that thermal profile and soft next-to-skin feel while cutting material cost, starting at a 24s yarn count built for outerwear constructions.

Thermal Insulation That Holds
Hemp/wool traps warm air the way wool programs expect, so jackets and mid-layers stay warm in cold air without jumping to a heavier, costlier all-wool yarn.
Strength and Softness Together
Hemp adds tensile strength and abrasion resistance for sleeves, elbows, and outdoor wear; wool keeps the soft, lofted hand people buy outerwear for.
Lower Cost Than Wool-Only
Replacing a slice of wool with hemp lowers fiber cost while keeping the warmth and comfort story intact, which is how a cold-weather line hits margin without thinning the cloth.
Where 24s Hemp/Wool Fits
Start from a 24s hemp/wool yarn and match construction to the garment. The blend does the thermal work; the knit or weave sets the hand.

Warmth Without the Wool Premium
Specifying wool usually means paying wool prices across the whole yarn. Hemp/wool keeps the thermal insulation, strength, and softness outdoor programs need, and the hemp fraction is how you bring cost down without defaulting to acrylic or polyester fill stories.
