Vegans here in Stumptown, aka the PRP (People's Republic of Portland) also wear lots of Converse, and Tevas (though the no-petroleum product friend might have a problem with those).
I have a pair of hemp overalls (wore them a lot while I was pregnant). They are very comfy, and I like the weight and drape of the fabric. However, they have not worn all that great, and I've had to make lots of repairs, mostly along seams, and reinforce heavy wear areas with cotton. Hmm--maybe that explains why the place I bought them doesn't seem to be in business any more? All their stuff was natural fibers--organic cotton (no pesticides, Sidd!), hemp, linen.
