Testimonials about organic clothing made from bamboo
Here are just a few of the things that have been said recently about Bam and organic clothing made from bamboo. We get so much positive feedback, but here's just a small selection.
"Try bamboo - you may never go back to cotton" Good buy, featuring Bam, Sunday Telegraph:
"Bamboo is the 21st Century fabric of choice - it certainly worked for me" Body & Soul section, featuring Bam, The Times
"You have such a vibrant clear energy I have no doubt you will succeed at what you do. You represent a new breed of business which in time will be the norm. In the meantime you are one of the pioneers of future ethical business practice. I look forward to seeing you, and others like you, develop and expand in a new way that benefits everyone." M. Dickens, Huddersfield
"What a wonderful, wonderful company. I'm so pleased to have found your website. I can assure you that there will be further orders from me!" Kathleen, UK
"I ordered the short-sleeved T-shirt as a trial, and wore it for the first time last week. After wearing all day, I was put it on a hanger. The following morning I was amazed that it looked (and smelt ) unworn. So I wore it again the next day!
As for the "keeping cool/warm" part, it does exactly what it says on the
tin. Even stood next to the chiller cabinets in the supermarket, my arms
had goosebumps, but my body felt warm. It makes a great base-layer under a casual shirt.
As you can tell from my e-mail, I work for ****(withheld), which make T-shirts made from a material called Coolmax. This has similar properties, but the bamboo seems to be better. All that research into fibre technology, and Mother Nature produces something better !
Keep up the good work. It's good to see someone actually doing something for the planet, instead of just talking about it." Mike R.
"You have a great product for the world to discover. I can't wait to get myself some more sports gear and share this with friends/family. I went hiking/climbing in the Alps this summer with your famous T-shirt. I don't think I'll ever wear anything else for sport" Zoe, Paris
"I've just returned from 4 days out in the wilds of the Scottish Highlands. I thought I'd test out the bamboo shirt by wearing it continuously. Unbelievable - it still smelt fresh at the end of four days fairly strenuous activity. To make it more impressive I had worn it before this trip on a 90 mile cycle ride and it hadn't been washed between (broken washing machine). I now believe the hype and I think I converted a few mates too.
Good luck with the business." David Johnson
"I received it today and have tried it on and it seems smashing to me, so
when I've worn it (and shown it off to my mates) I'll probably order some
more. Cheers, and thanks for the swift delivery." Nick R 14 feb 07
"I am most impressed with the quality of your garment, which I thought excellent.
Bruce's Father was a Master Draper so we know something of quality etc. and
am very pleased yours is as good as you say it is."
Ruth L. D. - Teesdale. 13 feb 07
"Two items purchased, one for myself and one for my brother, we're both delighted. Comfortable/breathable material is perfect at any time and particularly lovely when exercising! Thanks." Joanne Harris Aug 07
"Hi
We made our first purchases at the ski show and have been very
impressed. The potential range looks very good. If it comes in at the
same very reasonable prices it will be a major success. I am also very
impressed with the tree planting, a wonderful initiative in this day and
age.
Keep up the good work."
Neil, London
"I've been meaning to email you for ages to tell you that the bamboo t shirt is the most comfortable thing in my wardrobe - I love it! Thanks,"
Sophie Barton, Lifestyle Editor
Closer Magazine
"we were most impressed" Geographical Magazine, Product Review
"Received your t-shirt a few months ago, it is a fantastic product, it has been washed and washed again and is still like new. Bamboo is the future without doubt, and the sizing is true too... I have never felt it necessary to ever write to anyone about their product, but just had to with yours. I wish you every success with your business and I shall continue to rave and bore everyone about your great t-shirts, especially to ladies who like to touch the material!!!!"
"Thanks again", John L

"Actually I bought the first shirt as a Christmas present, but my husband saw me buying it and wanted to have a shirt right away. He's wearing it now and I may have trouble taking it off, ever, so much does he love it."
Jenny H, London

"Hi - my shirt arrived today - the claim about the softness of the garments is true - I'm
wearing it now and feel like I'm being "cuddled".
Guess you've just got another convert - I'll be back to the site soon."
Thanks again

"my wife an I love your stuff, both the lyrca sports range and the
other more fashion type T's and the way it keeps you cool when you want to be and warm when you want to be is a bit uncanny!! Light, cut perfect, colours great - a sound product."
Jon C, UK rock climber
"Just a quick feedback to say I'm v. pleased with the
sports t-shirt I ordered as a Xmas present, and do
like the bag / label etc explaining a bit about bamboo
clothing as I do think that it's important for people
to know what you're doing.
Will look forward to the socks!"
Alice
"I have just tried on the long-sleeve Bam T-shirt my partner bought me for my birthday today - and it's very very impressive. The material feels great" Tim S, Sussex

"very soft and comfortable and probably better than the performance exercise clothing that I have already" David B, UK
Dear David
Firstly apologies for the delay in getting back to you and secondly thank you so much for the astounding customer service!
You kindly sent me out a black t-shirt in the correct size which arrived in time for my husband's Christmas present. When I finally got around to packaging up the small one to send back to you I decided that it was too sumptuous to part with and decided to keep it for myself! I am posting you a cheque for £20 for this item (it should arrive within a few days - please let me know if it doesn't).
The upshot of this whole business and the delay in getting back to you is that I am able to give you feedback on the various products all of which have gone down a storm. I have never written a note like this before but - thank you for you lovely products and great service.
Sending you my best wishes and assurance of further custom.
Ruth McGuinness

"May your fabulous Bamboo Socks continue to multiply and spread far and wide, continuing to delight wearers with happy faces and sweet smelling feet! Great feedback from the three people who I gave the socks to, including my niece Ella, who is pleased and surprised by the way her Dads feet don't smell- he says they are super soft too! Top Marks all 'round. Have also told other friends to look up your website. Many Thanks, also for the speed delivery and your kindness and thoughtfulness should be rewarded." Lucy Q, Nottingham
"We love your company and the clothing in this house!!! The customer service during the busiest time of the year was outstanding. The socks are amazing, feel free to give me a shout about any promotion, very happy to spread the word." Neil L, London
"Just so soft and warm to wear for such a lightweight fabric - and everybody loves the socks!" Mary-Jane S, Swindon
"I bought the black shrug and I have worn it almost constantly ever since it arrived! I love it. I'm going to have to buy another so I can wear one while the other is being washed! It is definitely one of my favourite items of clothing. I think the company is great, I will be buying more clothes from you in the future.
Also, I gave some clothes as christmas presents and the people who I gave them to loved them!" Thank you. Katherine C, Cranleigh
"I was very impressed with the clothing that I got and will most definitely be buying more for myself and girlfriend. I should add that I am an avid merino wool fan and have to say this was incredibly close in comfort and feel." S Wilson, Herts
"Thanks so much for your email and for sending me the socks. I'm amazed at how soft and smooth they are - like wearing velvet on your feet!" Rena H, UK
"I wish you every success with your business. You are dong great work" Leanne R, London
"Excellent!!!! so thanks for double checking...Your customer service is top top.." Blandine, Sweden

I will be telling all my friends about the clothing and will definitely be ordering more in the future. I appreciate your approach and wish you every success." Mark M, Glos.
"I've said this before, but I shall still say it again. I'm completely delighted with my bamboo order, and so is my husband with the items I bought for him. Thank you for your excellent customer service and for such a fabulous product" Kate Bruce, Topsham
"I must admit - I was very sceptical - even after a friend had bought, worn and convinced me to get something - but this has to be the softest & comfiest clothing ever!" Kenneth Richardson
"I found it very soft and it lived up to the 'sales pitch' - probably the first time that anything I have ordered on line has done! I will definitely be looking at further purchases." David Chance, UK
"Your shipment came faster than expected - great! The quality of the garments: WOW!" Stefan Langer, Austria
"So impressed got my mother a long sleeve top for Mother's Day, to say she's impressed is an understatement. As soon as she opened the package (thank you for your efficient delivery) she sent me a text message to say how she loved the feel of the material. (I just called her to ask if she wanted me to say anything and she said "It's wonderful, not felt anything like it"). My top was so popular with a couple of friends I had to give them your website address straight away, after they stopped groping the sleeves. The hooded top is a firm favourite in my wardrobe and I think my normal t-shirts will be gradually changed to the ones you offer. Bamboo the way to go." Robert Lewington, UK
"We've got long sleeve and short sleeve baselayers, socks and underwear. They are the most comfortable things in our wardrobes! We've just come back from ski-ing and they kept us cool/warm and fresh! We use them in the gym, for cycling, and generally chilling-out - the ultimate in comfort. Look forward to seeing new products." E. Sanders, Nottingham
"Brilliant! Soft, comfortable, stretchy and, three days later, it's still looking and smelling good - far better than me. A cotton T-shirt would have been like a wet rag by the end of the first day." Stephen Masters, canoeist (on activewear)
"The bamboo T shirts and men's underpants I ordered are fab, so so soft. My husband does not usually like the Y front but these are amazing. Well done, good luck and shall probably order more stuff ere long." Antonia Lightfoot, Newcastle upon Tyne
"WE ARE ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED WITH OUR NEW BAMBOO CLOTHING! AND WERE BLOWN AWAY WITH THE SPEED OF DELIVERY... I ordered late-ish on Firday afternoon and the parcel was waiting on the doorstep at 9.30am on Saturday...AMAZING!! My husband usually wears a marino top when mountain biking and he was always telling people about it's qualities and how great it is. BUT...he now has a new bamboo one which he is telling anyone who will listen all about instead....he thinks it is fantastic! I expect I will be ordering more from you soon.
Keep up the good work. Many thanks." Liz Smith, Worcs
"Just placed my 2nd order-which means we are verry impressed with your range. My husband is sooooo loving his bamboo pants and his activewear T-shirt I bought a few weeks ago over (and let me tell you, he is hard to impress!). We walked today 3 Welsh mountains and the bamboo baselayers kept us warm, dry and snug all the way. Keep up the good things you do in every sense!" E. Linton, Gwynedd
"I am speechless! Wow - I am sure you hear this all the time, but wow, so soft and its bamboo. Thanks for a wonderful product." John M, Herts
"I am now wearing simply the best T-shirt I have ever owned. It fits perfectly, and it feels so wonderful I hardly know I'm wearing anything at all. I discovered bamboo as a fibre when I bought a scarf recently and was so amazed at how soft it was that I became addicted. I love what you're doing" Frances Day, Gloucestershire
"this is possibly a new one for you....
The order was for my 75 year-old Mum who'd just had heart surgery. the problem was that all her clothes, including 100% cotton stuff, was irritating her scar. I bought her 2 man's T-shirts and 4 weeks later it's still the only thing that doesn't irritate her skin. She loves them. Post-op clothing as a commercial opportunity;-)." Greg, Herts
"Sounds a bit to good to be true but this material does tick all the boxes, it's brilliant to wear and good for the planet" Pete Fullard, UK
This was my second purchase and I would definitely buy again. My wife and I both love the feel of the clothes and your service is top class. Ashley, UK
I ordered several items in preparation for our holiday and I contacted you to ask whether or not DEET might affect the clothes. We've just returned and we have lots of good news for you. Firstly, the clothes were extremely comfortable and packed, washed and dried very easily. Secondly, the DEET did not seem to have any effect on the material, so that is very good news. J Davenport, UK
"Just to let you know that the order I placed on Thursday morning arrived perfectly on Friday. I don't see how customer service can get any better than that! A little story for you to recommend the clothes...my wife was wearing a bamboo shirt on a recent trip to Grenoble. As we were just there for a couple of days she had only one set of casual clothes and one set of smart, for a formal dinner. On the first evening, in her casual clothes (jeans and bamboo shirt) the waiter managed to drop a plate of veal and potatoes in a cream sauce all over her. She disappeared into the loo and washed the shirt through in water. She came back clean and it dried in no time - by the next day it was perfectly wearable without even a crease from being wrung out. Another remarkable bamboo property! Many thanks for the great products." Dr. Ken Zetie, Berks
"I have now purchased on three occassions of several items. They are the softest, warmest shirts I have ever worn (yet lovely to also wear in hot weather). They have stayed perfect after many washes and have been lovingly worn regularly. They make a perfect travel item. I intend to replace most of my t-shirts with bamboo in good time as they are such good quality." Zoe, UK
"I have now worn my clothes for running and found them the best running tops I have found." Shirley Harrison, Bristol
