Eco Fashion World

BEN SHERMAN

There is something so undeniably sexy about a well-dressed man. Whether it’s a cleverly thrown together ensemble of jeans, a t-shirt, and blazer or an exquisitely tailored suit with a great dress shirt, tie and fine Italian shoes. As long as the style, fit and altogether look “work”, the allure will be anything but subtle.

The focus on women’s clothing is greater as it seems to be the anchor point for all fashion, and the options available outnumber those of the male fashion aficionado. Luckily, with the changing times of the green revolution, menswear is just two shakes of a lamb’s tail behind and inexorably gaining momentum.

Here are some “go to” shops, labels and manufacturers in sustainable menswear delivering haute goods with style and clear conscience in mind, just in time for the holidays.

Dressing up

For a handsome suit that feels as good as it looks, John Patrick Organic is a luxury label that “brings it” while maintaining business practices that are both ethical and sustainable to the core. Smart lines and well thought out construction are just some of the qualities of this company whose vision entails a world where people won’t ask “is it organic?” but say “of course it’s organic!”

Hessnatur Organic Corduroy

Hessnatur has a history of ethical fashion that spans back further than most even realized the conversation of ethical fashion existed, over 30 years. Hessnatur is a dream realized through the creation of beautiful clothing that is healthy for the environment and the wearer as well as a solid commitment to the practice and support of fair labor laws and practices. Sweaters, jackets, vests, and pants are just some of the offerings of Hessnatur for the man who wants to dress well while doing good.

Speaking of dressing well, Ben Sherman knows how to clothe a man. Ben Sherman offers urban chic menswear including suits, shirts, sweaters, jackets, amazing shoes and more. The look is big city contemporary with modern tailoring and perfect for the man who wants to show he is confident and ahead of the times.

BAGIR

If you are looking for an ideal blend of classic and contemporary, look to International clothier Bagir . Bagir is a proven leader in the area of innovation who offers garments made of PET bottles as well as other styles incorporating organic cotton and bamboo materials. Bagir suits are not only expertly crafted but some styles are washable, flexible, crease resistant, stain proof and even temperature regulating. What more could a guy ask for?

BLAH BOXERS

And because what is underneath counts

American Apparel, a known leader in the tee industry, now features a “Sustainable Edition.” A selection of their most popular styles offered in 100% USDA certified organic cotton in both classic and trendy cuts. With a knack for gaining attention through unconventional advertising, American Apparel organics include both briefs and boxer briefs in a variety of colors.

People Tree is another great spot to find some Fair Trade and organic underwear, as well as a multitude of outerwear. People Tree works with 50 Fair Trade groups in 15 countries, helping to alleviate poverty by bringing fair work and fair income to some of the world’s most financially distressed communities. Check out these Blah boxers that are anything but blah!
