WORKING CONDITIONS & LIVING WAGES

Sir Redman’s website states that they produce their suspenders in-house, in the Netherlands. The majority of their other production is based in Europe, and their woven fabrics are made in China.

• Polyester
• Cotton
• Viscose 
• Silk
• Wool
• Elastic
• Leather
• Apple leather

We’re excited about the Sir Redman x Aarden collection, which features suspenders and bowties made with recycled cotton and wool; natural material choices. Some of this collection is also vegan, and made with a leather alternative derived from apples! 

Sir Redman also offers pure silk and cotton ties, although the brand does not disclose where these natural materials are sourced from. If you want to know more about silk, check out this guide. 

Other products currently available on Sir Redman’s website are made from elastic or polyester. These manmade synthetic materials are plastic-based, and produced using petrochemicals. 

PACKAGING 

Sir Redman states that they do not use any plastic packaging. 

WATER USAGE & CHEMICALS 

Sir Redman’s website states that their WORK collection is OEKO-TEX certified. This ensures that these products are free from harmful chemicals. The brand provides no further information regarding their measures to manage water or chemical use elsewhere in their supply chain. 

The majority of items currently available on Sir Redman’s website are made using manmade synthetic materials. However, these accessories are unlikely to be washed, reducing the potential for microplastic pollution. 

CIRCULAR PRODUCT DESIGN

Sir Redman’s products are sometimes material blends. For example, suspenders in their WORK collection are 55% cotton and 45% polyester. This reduces the likelihood that they can be recycled at the end of their lifespan. 

Other products are monomaterials, and therefore easier to recycle. 

CIRCULAR BUSINESS MODELS

Sir Redman has informed us that they offer a repair service, helping to extend the lifespan of their products. The brand can also be contacted for replacement components such as fasteners. 

Sir Redman also provides detailed care instructions for each of their products, helping you to make the most of your purchase.

Sir Redman’s headquarters are located in the Netherlands. Their suspenders are made in-house, and Sir Redman’s website states that their other products are manufactured in Europe. Sir Redman offers worldwide shipping on request. 

TRANSPORTATION 

Sir Redman’s website does not state what transportation methods are used in their supply chain. As the majority of their production is based in Europe, this reduces transportation related emissions. 

Animal

Sir Redman states that they use premium leather sourced from the Netherlands. The brand has not disclosed where their other animal-based materials are sourced from on their website. 

PRODUCT DESIGN 

Sir Redman offers a wide range of men’s accessories. Their suspenders feature sliding clips, making them size adjustable. They have also released a range of XL suspenders, improving their size inclusivity even further. Sir Redman also has a kids’ collection, with suspenders suitable for children aged 4 to 12 years, and pre-knotted ties! 

With a wide range of colours and materials to choose from, you’ll be sure to find the perfect accessories to personalise your outfit! 

SLOW FASHION PROCESSES 

This accessory brand releases two collections per year and as their designs are seasonless, there’s no need for anything more. Want a last-minute addition to your outfit? Sir Redman guarantees that all the items currently available on their website are always in stock.

If you’re looking for something a little different, Sir Redman also offers a custom-order service, allowing you to create one of a kind designs. 

TRANSPARENCY ON PRODUCT 

On every product page, Sir Redman lists what materials are used. The product pages for the suspenders state that they were hand-made, in-house, in the Netherlands. However, the production countries are not stated for Sir Redman’s other products, so it may be difficult to know where your specific purchase was produced. 

TRANSPARENCY ON PROCESSES 

Sir Redman does not publish an annual report on the social or environmental aspects of their brand, and does not disclose their suppliers on their website.
