Welcome to Socrates Menswear, where we design premium cotton shirts and linen shirts that blend timeless style with responsible craftsmanship. Based in Cape Town, South Africa, our brand is committed to creating high-quality menswear using 100% cotton poplin and linen, designed and crafted locally. We prioritize sustainable fashion, offering clothing that looks great and respects the planet.
Why Cotton and Linen Shirts?
Our cotton shirts are made from 100% cotton poplin, prized for its softness, breathability, and versatility—perfect for both work and leisure. Meanwhile, our linen shirts offer a lightweight, airy feel, making them ideal for warm weather while maintaining a sharp, sophisticated look. These natural materials not only ensure comfort but also align with our focus on sustainable fashion, appealing to eco-conscious shoppers.
Crafted in Cape Town with Sustainability in Mind
Every shirt is produced in Cape Town, inspired by the city’s stunning landscapes and the vibrant fynbos of the Cape Floral Kingdom. By keeping production local, we support Cape Town artisans and minimize our environmental impact. Our commitment to sustainable fashion shines through in every detail, from eco-friendly materials to ethical manufacturing practices.
Limited Edition Cotton and Linen Shirts
At Socrates Menswear, we value exclusivity. We produce just 110 shirts per design across 8 sizes, ensuring each cotton poplin shirt is a limited edition. This small-batch approach reduces waste and reinforces our dedication to sustainability, giving you a unique piece that stands out.
