Classic vs Premium Hemp Shirts — Which OG Hemp Shirt Is Right for You?

Braintree’s OG Hemp Shirts (S14 short sleeve and S12 long sleeve) have been wardrobe staples since the early days of hemp clothing in Australia. Today the range offers two fabric options — Classic lightweight hemp blend and Premium heavier-weight hemp blend — both featuring the same relaxed heritage fit customers know and love.

Classic OG Hemp Shirts — Lightweight Everyday Comfort

The Classic OG Hemp Shirts are made from a soft 55% hemp / 45% rayon blend designed for breathability and everyday wear. Lightweight and easy to style, they are especially popular for warmer climates, travel and relaxed casual dressing. Advancements in fibre processing have created a softer hand feel while maintaining hemp’s natural breathability and airflow.

Classic colours currently available: Bottle Green, Khaki Green, Mid Blue, Terracotta (Rust)

  • Lightweight breathable fabric
  • Soft drape for everyday wear
  • Ideal for warm climates
  • Easy layering shirt

Premium OG Hemp Shirts — Heavier Heritage Durability

The Premium OG Hemp Shirts were introduced for customers who love the iconic relaxed fit but prefer a richer, heavier fabric feel. Made from a heavier-weight hemp blend, these shirts offer enhanced structure, durability and a more substantial drape while remaining naturally breathable.

Premium colours currently available: White, Bone (Light Latte), Navy, Black, Aqua, Sky Blue

  • Heavier premium fabric weight
  • Enhanced durability
  • Structured drape
  • Ideal for year-round wear

Fit — The Same Iconic Relaxed Cut

Both Classic and Premium shirts use the same heritage S14 and S12 pattern, featuring relaxed shoulders, a pleated back panel and an easy oversized fit designed for airflow and comfort. Most customers choose one size down for a standard fit or their regular size for an oversized relaxed look.
