How do you make clothes out of Bamboo? 

Bamboo been used in textiles for a long time, it’s anti allergenic, silky soft, absorbent, ethical and ecological. It can be woven just like cotton or polyester. However it is expensive to produce.

Not the type to buy football shirts but I fucking love everything Hummel. Would love it if they became our kit manufacturers.

Hummel are retro and niche enough for everyone to swoon. Looks the absolute part. 

 

Best not mention the one from Glasgow Market

Is it that ethical? 

My sister has bought loads of bamboo plates to be ‘eco friendly’ 

Im not sure how it’s more ethical to pull bamboo down in the Far East and ship it here rather than buy a plate produced here 

Appreciate clothing mainly comes from over that way anyhow so less of an issue. If it’s expensive to produce then I imagine it has a bigger carbon footprint than cotton, which would again render it less eco friendly than first assumed

Back on topic, I'm going to be very surprised if our kit at wycombe isn't the one we wore at forest

I've a feeling we'll be in last season's kit too, back to the days it was the norm for a kit to last 2 seasons.

If our bridges are burnt with Macron though I doubt we'll get anything new from them.

I suppose the bigger issue isn't matchday

I guess macron provided a lot more than just a few kits

Be all sorts of other stuff, I guess

Given the usual ‘kit room’ sale happened a few weeks ago then I imagine it’s in hand. Although of course at the time it might have been a case of selling anything that wasn’t nailed down.
