BAM

Clever advertising. This company, who make clothing from bamboo, not only sent me a brochure with an offer of 15% discount on future orders, but also sent me a free pair of socks to try. In the words of the founder, David, 'Bamboo absorbs five times more carbon than hardwood trees. It needs half the land cotton needs to produce the same amount of fibre and it doesn’t need irrigation or pesticides. Add to that how well it works as a performance fabric and you can see why we love bamboo'. I hope he's right!
In any case, I like the socks and so I also placed an order. Of course I did.

Bam, indeed. What a clever advertising, especially in our digital world. And I do love bamboo socks. Such a feel good material.

[Casablanca]

Excellent advertising! And I love bamboo socks too

[Babs]

I have some bamboo clothing and your narrative has given me a better understanding of its wider impact.... great information and lovely photo.

[Richard Sayer]

I'm ashamed to say that I had never heard of bamboo clothing until now... I shall look into it.

[Valerie Chesney]

This company should go far, very clever advertising & the socks look great.. I have a bamboo pillow & it's great.

[Kitty Hawke]

Well done to them....looks good.

[Bep]

I’m wearing free bamboo socks right now. They sent three pairs before got so embarrassed I ordered some. Anyway they are super comfy. I can also recommend their knickers so long as you’re not after sexy or flossing types!

[Margaret Brown]

Great stuff, very comfortable to wear too. A big fan it’s so useful, I have a chopping board that is years older and very hard wearing. I also have a bamboo coffee mug, which is so much nicer to hold than a heavy pottery one.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

They look comfy- you'll have to let us know if they live up to their advertising.

[Islandgirl]

Great advertising! I'm curious to hear what you think of the socks.

[Kat]

Very clever advertising

[Kathy]

Interesting shot and advertisement for the company. I knit socks once using bamboo yarn. I'm sure the factory euqipment was able to do a better job of intertwining the bamboo fibers with some elastic to keep the socks from "growing" and falling down. Mine were less than satisfactory.

[Daryl O'Hare]

I love bamboo fabric. When I traveled to Bali and Japan, I bought a bamboo dress/shirt that was stretchy and so comfortable for travel.

[Pat Knowles]

I have had three pairs pairs of these socks delivered free. I did order some, how could you not but I was disappointed somewhat at how quickly they came in holes on the heel! Might be me but I think they may not be as hard wearing as one would hope.... lovely & soft though!
I too am wearing a pair now but they have a hole in the heel. @judithg

[Issi Bannerman]

@happypat @judithg Ha ha ... so I was an afterthought, if you girls already have had 3 pairs delivered?! I wonder how mine will fare? I suspect not too well as I seem to have extra protruding bones on the back of my heels which wear out the best of socks very quickly! I've ordered leggings and knickers from their website, so we'll see how they go!

I have bamboo cotton sheets on the bed. Cool and soft. Prefer them to the linen ones we have
