Bean Pole Outdoor has created shirts using all-natural traditional Korean paper known as hanji, the company said Tuesday.
The T-shirts, named “Fresh Hanji T-shirts,” are created with a blend of polyester and hanji woven from paper mulberry tree fibers.

The all-natural odor-resistant fibers make the shirts absorbent and light, keeping them cool in the summer but warm in winter.
The shirts are also a good choice for people with sensitive skin or allergies, the brand said.
Woven with rayon and polyester, the hanji shirts are washable, stretchy and wrinkle-resistant despite being made with paper fibers.
The shirts are available in roundneck and collared styles in various colors and designs. They are priced at 98,000 won ($85) to 128,000 won each.
