Fresco and its relatives (Finmeresco, Brisa), or mohair blends.

Hemp trousers seem to resist creasing better than cotton or linen pants. Seersucker cotton shirts also travel well without much pressing, but not everybody likes the appearance. Brisa is very resistant to creasing.

I have not seen hemp fabric in the books of the regular merchants
Ecolution
http://ecolution.com/is a Romanian company selling Romanian hemp fabric, they have a broad range.
Much of the hemp on the market is Chinese, the Romanian product is better. The following merchants sell a mixture of Chinese and Romanian product

Isaia does carry one or two hemp fabrics in their summer seasonal MTM offerings. I am not sure where they sourced the hemp however

What is the web site for Carnet?
Is this Isaia a simple RTW brand with some MTM offerings?
Thanks for the hemp sources, Simon A!
