Spent $400 on 'sustainable' bamboo jersey that pilled after one wash

The supplier swore it was premium, but the fabric looked awful on a basic tee mockup. Anyone found a truly durable eco-fabric that doesn't fall apart?

Yeah, thea_mitchell20 is totally right about bamboo just being fancy rayon. That process to make it soft basically strips any natural strength it had. It's a marketing trick, not a real durable fabric. Hemp is the opposite, it starts rough but breaks in like denim and just gets better. You paid for a story, not quality. Real eco-fabrics should last, not just sound good on a tag.

My hemp work shirts last years, bamboo is just overpriced rayon.
