For decades, the fashion industry has been ruled by fast trends and mass production. But true style isn’t about chasing what’s new—it’s about owning something timeless, something built to last.

Socrates was born out of a desire to break free from the cycle of disposable fashion and create deliberate, high-quality pieces that stand the test of time. Every shirt is crafted from 100% cotton poplin, designed for men who appreciate sophistication, comfort, and exclusivity.

Limited by Design. Timeless by Nature.
At Socrates, we don’t follow trends—we create exclusive collections, each design produced in only 150 pieces. Once a collection sells out, it’s gone forever. This means when you wear Socrates, you’re not just wearing a shirt—you’re wearing something rare, something that sets you apart.

What started as a small stall at Franschhoek Market has grown into a brand that stands for authenticity, craftsmanship, and timeless style. With each drop, we continue our mission: to redefine menswear by offering limited-edition, high-quality shirts that never go out of fashion.

Because style isn’t about having what everyone else has—it’s about having something only a few will ever own.
