The Best Brands of Sustainable Menswear

Neem London offers clothing made from recycled cotton or regenerative cotton, both in many stylish designs. Each listing shows how much drinking water and light bulb energy saved!

For any clothing containing recycled polyester or elastane, launder in a microfibre filter (or just buy the 100% natural fabrics, far simpler!)

We only recommend vegan products on this site (so no wool). So we just recommend their cotton items, but you can also send back end-of-wear products for their buy-back scheme, for credit on your next order.

Regenerated cotton is more affordable than organic cotton, but better than new cotton. Conventional cotton uses colossal amounts of chemicals. So if you can’t afford organic fabrics, using regenerated and recycled cotton is the next best choice.

Rapanui (outdoor clothing from Isle of Wight)

Rapanui is an Isle of Wight clothing brand, founded by two friends. This is a real ‘outdoorsy’ brand that mostly makes organic cotton t-shirts and thick jumpers (as warm as wool), plus waterproof tops and surfing towels.

Everything is made with renewable energy and sent in zero waste packaging. This brand owns Teemill (a company that produces print-on-demand organic cotton tees and hoodies for small charities to earn income for their cause).

A few items are made from recycled plastic bottles (so launder in a microfiber filter). But it seems to be going more towards natural fibres, with the latest linen collection of tops, shorts and trousers.

Of the Oceans (menswear from Leicestershire)

Of the Oceans is a Leicester sustainable menswear company, which makes organic cotton and hemp shirts and other clothing. It also produces nice quality men’s jeans, to suit every style and body shape.

Denim jeans are one of the world’s most popular clothing items. Yet in India, street dogs have literally turned blue, from drinking polluted water from local rivers, due to the blue dye used in local factories that make jeans for western consumers.

Also there are animal welfare issues (leather patches sewn on the back, tends to come from the far east, where there are few animal welfare laws). Plus issues with the conditions that humans work in.

This clothing brand also makes nice organic cotton shirts and beanie hats.

Hemp is naturally organic and very comfortable (warm in winter and cool in summer). This brand also donates a portion of profits donated to marine conservation charities.
