After reading this blogpost, you’ll be all clued up and know exactly where to head to kit yourself out in sustainable clothes from head to toe.

We’ll start with a staple. César Menswear sells menswear in an interior reminiscent of an old-fashioned brown bar. For example, the coat racks have been replaced by beer taps, beer bottles hanging from the ceiling, billiard tables are used to display clothes and people pay at ‘the bar’.
A funky shirt from Brava Fabrics, a t-shirt from Dedicated or jeans from Nudie Jeans. They have it all there. The icing on the cake at César Menswear is that they have a terrace for you to enjoy a glass of their home-brewed beer Reveer on. César Menswear is for environmentally-conscious men who enjoy a fresh pint!
