Here are the tailored blazers, shirts, trousers, and coats from more sustainable brands that you’ll be adding to your regular rotation.

Smart, more sustainable blazers and more

So you’ve been invited to a meeting or a wedding and you need some smart clothes for the occasion. Or maybe you just favour a more formal style of dressing. Either way, more sustainable tailoring is still a fairly niche area that means it’s not easy to find what you’re looking for. But we’re here to help—scroll on to discover 12 “Good” and “Great”-rated brands making more sustainable and smart men’s blazers, coats, shirts, and trousers.

 

A note on degendering fashion

While this article addresses keywords on menswear, ultimately, clothes don’t have any gender, and we believe people of all genders should be able to express themselves however they want, regardless of binary marketing. So, if you like tailoring then this article is for you.
