Alba: The Ultimate Check Shirt for Men

Organic cotton shirts: Why should you invest in one?

Using ethical fabrics makes a big difference to both the planet’s wellbeing and yours. Organic cotton is more environmentally friendly, produced without harsh chemicals and uses 91% less water than conventional cotton.

The result? Higher quality fibres that are softer to touch and kinder to your skin. Our men’s long-sleeved cotton shirts are made with organic fabrics accredited by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). They make sure the growth, processing, and social criteria are accounted for; we add stacks of style.

What’s your mood?

Checked shirts are an essential item for any wardrobe. So many colour choices can be challenging, so we went bold with the Alba shirt. Why? Because we believe in vivid adventures and wanted to give you the opportunity to encompass that. Expressing yourself is all about how you feel, and colour can make or break your mood that day. So our red and navy Alba shirts have a vibrant exterior to bring out your fearless inner bear.

Premium and practical

When it comes to premium-quality, ethical fashion, you want it to be practical. Our men’s organic cotton shirts are made of 195GSM (grams per square metre), which means they have a denser, more luxurious feel. Ethical cotton shirts don’t mean you should have to skimp on functionality either, with each breathable shirt being fully machine washable and easy to clean. So you can get down and dirty on muddy walks without the stress of hand washing.

It’s all in the details

Men’s embroidered shirts can sometimes feel gimmicky, so we went a little against the grain, opting for a simpler, slick design that lets the checked pattern sing.

Of course, we had to put our stamp on it somewhere. Our little bear can be found beautifully embroidered on the sleeve of every Alba shirt, reminding you of our commitment to you, BearFolk and our mission to help save the planet one garment at a time. After all, we say “Wear the bear” for a reason.

Get Styling

Checked shirts are one of few wardrobe basics that work all year round. Couple it with a T-shirt and a sustainable roll top backpack for that weird time of year where the weather doesn’t know what it’s doing. Layer with a blazer for that special date. Button up, add a winter woolly and wear it with your favourite beanie (we’ve got some awesome options here). The possibilities are endless, so take a moment to think and get styling.
