Why Hemp you ask ? Its the best. It last 3 times longer than cotton.Wears like linen , some linen is really hemp. Its an old world fabric . Hemp protects you against the UV rays of the sun , keeps you warm in the winter & cool in the summer. We could Save the Planet with Hemp. It  has many uses fuel, insulations, clothes , landscaping and ofcourse rope. Is it soft ? Yes. When you wear hemp it gets even softer. I am not in favor of bamboo because the processing can be  hard on the enviroment. I think that its strange that all of a sudden  they are making clothes from it  and people think its cool . A few years ago I had never heard of it .Someone did A great  job of marketing. Reminds me of canola oil  which I don't recomend either. Hey out there
