About Us

Our Story

Having worked in the menswear and tailoring industry for a combined 40 years, we knew things had to change. We wanted to re-establish what a modern menswear brand should be. A brand with a purpose, focused on the things that matter: quality, fairness and the environmental impact of what goes into our garments.

The clothing industry accounts for over 10% of global carbon emissions. In addition to this, brands have altered consumer attitudes through fast fashion, prioritising profit margins over ethical production. We have lost transparency of where our garments are made and the conditions our workers have to endure.

Alder & Green is about slowing down, about investing in one or two key wardrobe pieces and knowing where your garment has come from and how it has been produced. Whether it be your special wedding shirt or your go-to professional shirt for the new hybrid working week, we want you to feel like a true Alder Man - one who looks sharp and feels sharp.

Our Values

Strong, Stylish & Durable

Quality & Fit

At Alder & Green, we live and die by the quality of our product. We carefully consider every detail. Each stitch on our shirts has been meticulously pored over to ensure you are delivered the highest quality garments.

Quality isn't just about our beautiful soft Italian fabrics and expertise in construction. Quality means a longer life and ultimately less environmental impact as our product is durable for years to come. We believe in buying less, but buying better.

We understand that fit is the most important consideration for men when purchasing clothing. To accommodate this, we offer a dynamic range of 30 sizes across 2 fits. We help you find your perfect fit, in turn helping us reduce returns, waste and the carbon footprint of our products.

Fabrics, Packaging & Transport

Environmental Impact

Clothing is the second highest polluting industry after Oil. That has to change. Every decision we make is focused on reducing our impact on the environment and then offsetting any impact we make.

We only source organic or recycled fabrics and work with mills, factories and suppliers whose values align to ours. Our shirts are packaged in compostable potato starch bags and all of our delivery packaging is 100% recycled and recyclable.

We have partnered with Ecologi and are a climate positive workforce. We are working to measure our carbon usage with Ecologi with an aim to offset all our carbon usage throughout our supply chain in 2022.

Ethically sourced & Manufactured

Fairness

Fair Production:

It is imperative to us to build a business which operates in a fair and ethical manner. We can only do this when we have full visibility of our supply chain.

As such, we commit to working exclusively with factories we have inspected and can trust. Our shirts are manufactured in a family run, GOTS approved state-of-the-art factory in Portugal that provides a fair living wage to all employees and clean and safe working conditions.

Fair Pricing:

Traditional retail models create luxury by elevated pricing or drive volume by pricing the goods artificially high so they can run slash price sales all year round. We believe in a new model, one true price. No sales, no inflated mark up, just fair priced goods that will last.

We sell directly to our customers and source directly from our suppliers. By removing the middle-men we can pass that saving back to you. This enables us to provide an amazing quality product that is sourced responsibly at a fair price to our customers.
