About Socrates Menswear

Ever searched for a shirt that feels as good as it looks without compromising your values? At Socrates Menswear, we design timeless cotton and linen shirts that combine elegance with responsible craftsmanship.

Born in Cape Town, South Africa, our brand is rooted in resilience and beauty. Each shirt is crafted locally from 100% cotton poplin or linen natural fabrics chosen for their breathability, comfort, and durability. They’re not only a joy to wear but also a choice you can feel proud of.

We create in small batches, just 110 shirts per design across 8 sizes. This keeps our collections exclusive and our environmental impact low. When a design sells out, it's gone for good.

Our customers care about how they look and what they support. That’s why we prioritize sustainability at every step, from ethical manufacturing to eco-conscious materials.

If you value limited edition pieces that blend premium comfort, timeless design, and thoughtful production, you’re in the right place.
