THTC

I, Gav Lawson founded THTC in 1999, fusing cutting-edge fashion with environmentally friendly clothes.  Turning ethical fabrics into iconic and witty t-shirts with political statements. THTC is worn by everyone from prolific urban artists such as Goldie to Duncan from the former boy-band Blue.

My mission was to create a brand that successfully raised the profile of hemp as a sustainable textile within the fashion industry. By ensuring his designs are always edgy, I want to show the industry that hemp is a force to be reckoned with. Collaborations with renowned graffiti artist Mau Mau has re-enforced the message that hemp is best! When 55% hemp is used instead of 100% conventionally grown cotton, over 2500 litres of water can be saved per t-shirt.  My understanding of hemp as a fabric has influenced others with over 20 clothing labels across Europe adopting hemp as a base fabric.
