Shirts of Bamboo is supporting the local postal union in it’s effort to end the consolidation of facilities that would blend St. Petersburg into a Tampa Bay postmark.

Here is the photo from today. It turned out nice. Hopefully our national will print it in the next national news letter. If so we will get you a copy. Again, thanks a million

I wanted to tell you I bought my first 100% bamboo fiber t-shirt at the Sat. morning market & I just loved the way it feels. I came home & ordered 2 more on-line. They are so comfortable. It’s like wearing nothing. I’ve told my friends about you & they have checked out your website also. I am a very satisfied customer.

I want to congratulate you on your products. I bought long sleeve and a short sleeve T’s and your sport socks after reading about them in Tree Hugger. I really wanted to know just how viable “Bamboo clothing” could be. WOW!! The only other time I was this amazed was when I found an Italian Merino wool shirt in a discount store! These items are so light! Layered, the long sleeve T is great under a heavy cotton sweater I have. I had no problems staying warm in sub-freezing weather with a basic coat on. The sport socks are very cushy and work well with my moccasins. I am in the market for more.

Words like amazing and superb don’t do justice to this shirt. I was so excited to try it on, this is my first bamboo shirt. The material is so soft and silky with a nice sheen. The shirt itself has a little elasticity, like Lycra although Lycra is listed as being used only in the collar. It is lightweight and rolls up nicely - perfect for traveling light. I use this as a base layer, so the wrinkles are not a problem. I also compated the performance of this shirt with a CoolMax t-shirt during workout. No difference in the rate of moving moisture away from the body or the speed of drying, which means I’m never going to buy CoolMax (made from polyester) shirts again.

Thanks for these bamboo products.  I just love the feel of the fabric–its so silk like and just feels awesome against my skin.  The shirt I ordered for my husband was a tad too large, but he’s wearing it anyhow (and he likes the texture too.)  It almost reminds me of the softness of some microfibers (synthetics.) This is the first I’d ever heard of, let alone worn of bamboo materials, and I’m sure to order more in the future.  We like hemp clothes, but most of them are just too rough & bulky feeling—so this is a good alternative.
